Mom, Are We Christians?

My thoughts on Elder Coleman's "Mom, Are We Christians?"

Have you had this question asked by your children?
I have and it is an easy answer (sort of).
If you take the definition that MOST of the world has, then the answer is no, but if you take the definition that the New Testament (the first time it shows up is during one of Paul’s missions) then YES! Without question we are Christians. Do your children know it?

As Elder Coleman said, our church is “centered on the Savior.” We are Christians, pure Christians!

The Nicene Creed sort of screwed things up, but I also believe that had it not been done then we would have lost the Bible and that would have truly messed things up. But in that Creed, the Godhead was changed and became one. Thankfully Joseph Smith saw something different and we can know for ourselves through fasting, praying and study what is truth.

Elder Coleman bares a powerful testimony. I won’t rehash earlier posts, but he does raise a question: Do our children know we are Christians?

That would be a great FHE lesson. I sure hope my children know we are Christians.
