After the death of Jesus Christ and the eventual death of His Apostles, the church fell and God withdrew His authority to speak to man and receive revelation for His church. Without the Priesthood authority error crept into church teachings. This period in time is known as The Great Apostasy.
To give illustration, if you have a piece of glass and you drop it on the floor what happens? You can expect lots of shattered pieces remaining. This is the same with Christ's church on the earth after the death of His apostles. There were bits and pieces of the truth, but not the complete whole piece of glass anymore. If there were to be a complete piece of glass again there would need to be a "restoration." As a result of the The Great Apostasy, many churches started forming and doctrines started to change and differ one from another. Today we have hundreds of Christian religions.
The ultimate question....which church is right? Or which church is God's true church?
