The doctrine
of Christ being our father disturbs some folks who prefer to think of him as
our brother. Yes, God the Father is our
father in heaven. Jesus is his son. But Jesus becomes our adoptive father when we
are reborn and receive the ordinance of baptism. We take upon us the name of Jesus Christ. Thereafter, we belong to a new family, the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with Christ at the head. He is also our father because he was sent by
the Father and has been given the authority to act for God the Father. He is also the father of this earth because
he created it.
