a nice discussion with Todd

 I started a conversation about church with my son Todd sometime back and it went something like this:

I ask what does Heathers church teach? "Real Life" is the name of her church.  What does it believe? does it baptize babies? does it give each child a blessing, what does it teach?

Todd replyed that they are more of a non-denominational type church and do not baptize babies but do much for the community like many other churches.

  He went on to say I think only Mormons and Catholics claim to have direct line of authority back to Christ and his priesthood...

I said His church "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"  have his name and I feel Christ is worthy to have His name on his church!  Back in time of Christ those who followed Christ were called saints...... Joseph Smith and Catholics both claim to have authority .....Catholics believe from an unbroken chain since Christs time on earth...we in the Chruch of Jesus Christ believe the authority was broken during the Dark Ages {you must read about the dark ages and you will understand why}....it was so bad back then and a change was needed so badly and was necessary!!  Christ church had to be renewed and brought back .....and who better than a small boy Joseph growing up in a Bible reading family he prayed about which of all these churches were the one he should join?  His family were all picking different ones but they all taught differently. 

Well thanks for getting back with me Todd...We love you and your reward will be wonderful because you served your Heavenly Father so well..... that chain was indeed broken and I believe we needed that new beginning /a fresh start and who better to choose than a humble young child who was sincerely wanting to know !!
