1 Nephi 14:10
Q: How many churches are there? (Dad)
A: "Two. The church of the Lamb of God and the church of the devil." (Shaylee)
Q: What does it mean since there's obviously thousands of different churches and religions? (Dad)
A: "You're either following the iron rod or you're not. Those holding the iron rod are of the church of God." (Brandon) "Yes, and those who are not holding to the iron rod but who are trying to find the tree of life are not trying to follow the devil, but he has some power over them because they lack the fulness of the gospel and its saving priesthood ordinances. So the way to look at it is that the Lord's church has access to the one and only straight and narrow path that will lead to eternal life. All other paths will cause people to stumble and get lost and be led away on the path to destruction. It doesn't mean everyone not on the straight and narrow path are wicked or bad people. There are many good people on it who are trying to follow the Lord and as they do so the Lord will lead them to the straight and narrow path. Then they will need to choose on whether to follow it or not." (Dad)
