, 01:19, March 19, 2007→Mormons' relationship to Christianity
Mormons are somewhat out of the mainstream of U. S. Christian denominations, because they accept the [[Book of Mormon]] as well as the [[King James Bible]]. The Book of Mormon includes an account of the ancient people in the Americas. It also states that Jesus Christ came to them after the 40 days he spent with the Apotles in Isreal. According to LDS history, The Book of Mormon was translated by divine revelations made to [[Joseph Smith]]. The Mormons believe that The Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ
