THE THEOLOGY OF BENJAMIN AND GRANT


Over dinner, I decided to inquire
"What does Heavenly Father look like?""He's bright, and you can't see him very good", said Grant, making little finger goggles around his eyes.
"He's on another planet named Kolob", said Benjamin.
How old is Heavenly Father?
152 -B
Lehi was the most, he was born before God and Jesus -G
How does Heavenly Father act?
Really good, he loves everyone, he is really happy.-B
He wants people to be nice and good, not bad -G
If you are extra good, he likes you a lot. If you are super bad, he loves you less and less and less -B
The first person on Earth was Heavenly Father, not Adam and Eve -G
Is Heavenly Father a person?
Yes. -B
Noooo, Grant says in a serious whisper, he's a ghost.
I've seen a picture of him in the clouds Grant, he's not a ghost. -B, sharply
He can stick his hand further than Stretching Boy, like infinity miles. -G
Why do we listen and obey when Heavenly Father says something?
He wants us to have food and drinks. He loves when we sing church songs not just on Sunday. -G
How did Heavenly Father become God?
His Dad made him it. -B
Heavenly Father doesn't have a Dad, he is the father of everyone. -G
Mom read it in the Bible, Grant, yes he does. -B
Do your ears make you think? -G, (off topic)
He doesn't have a Dad. The Holy Ghost made him born. The Holy Ghost made him. -G, (back on topic)
Adam and Eve are Heavenly Father's Dad. -B
If Kolob is the star, maybe he is on Jupiter, or Venus, or Mars, or.... the Sun! Heavenly Father lives in the Sun. -G, (lightbulb moment)
He can't live in the Sun, Grant. He can't get hurt. He is stronger than Superman. -B, (appointing himself 'Defender of the Doctrine')
It can burn everyone so hot. -G
Jesus can't be burned in the Sun, neither can the Holy Ghost. -B
Who are Adam and Eve's parents?
The Holy Ghost. -B
They have no Mommy?
No. -B
Who is the Holy Ghost's Dad?
The gospel. -B
The gospel makes you sometimes good and sometimes bad. -G
What makes you be bad?
Yourself -G
Who is the Devil?
He's trying to kill the judge, he used to be a baby in a planet littler than Jupiter where the bad guys hide, they crashed on Earth and he grew. -B
Who are the bad guys? Supervisions, there was a God who was bad, crashing ships, and trying to kill it -B
Where is the Devil now?
Hiding, on Earth. -B
You can't see him. -G
He's invisible. He doesn't talk, he can't. He uses sign language. -B
Why can't he talk?
The bad guys made him that way-B

Very funny! Love how the super hero world blends with the gospel in their minds.

That was great!! Such intelligent and creative minds at work...with only a slight superhero obsession. I'm so relieved to learn that the Holy Ghost became such when he "died on Halloween with a ghost costume on." I've been wondering about that for a while! Precious!
