Many Mormons see their church as the true church, many Christians see this as offensive. Mormons often like to claim that the Bible is a revelation dealing with the Eastern Hemisphere, while the Book of Mormon is a revelation dealing with the Western Hemisphere. Several claims made in the Book of Mormon, such as the Native Americans being descendent's of Middle Easterners, have been refuted via genetics. Also a book held sacred by Mormons is a book called the Book of Abraham, which Joseph Smith claimed to have translated from Egyptian, the original papyri of the text was later discovered, and was shown to deal with only funeral practices. As such Christians regard Joseph Smith like Muhammad as false prophets warned against in Scripture. The way one can identify a false prophet is they teach something that contradicts Scripture, so since Joseph Smith had a radically different view concerning views on trinity and other beliefs of Christianity, Joseph Smith is regarded as a false prophet by Christians.
