Which church do you attend ? I am Mormon , so I go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints . What ’ s the difference between this and other Churches ? Mormons believe that , after the death of Christ and the death of the Apostles 10 , their church Christ founded became corrupt and the authority of Christ on earth was lost to men . In 1830 , a prophet named Joseph Smith was brought up by God to restore the church . Then does that mean the other churches are corrupt ? That means that they all have parts of the original gospel , but not all .	Do you believe that Mormons have all of it ?

I saw an interesting program on TV last night . It was about elderly people .	And what did the program say ?

Which church do you attend ? I am Mormon , so I go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints . What ’ s the difference between this and other Churches ? Mormons believe that , after the death of Christ and the death of the Apostles 10 , their church Christ founded became corrupt and the authority of Christ on earth was lost to men . In 1830 , a prophet named Joseph Smith was brought up by God to restore the church . Then does that mean the other churches are corrupt ? That means that they all have parts of the original gospel , but not all .

Do you believe that Mormons have all of it ?
