"Sometimes people would say that we're not Christians," he said. "We definitely are. We believe in Jesus Christ."
Mormons believe that was reversed when Joseph Smith, regarded as a prophet, was visited by God and Jesus in a vision in 1820. That's when Smith was chosen to restore the true church to the world, according to LDS doctrine. Smith translated the Book of Mormon, the sacred text of the Latter Day Saints, which is based on the Bible. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
--Galatians 1:7-9
The Book of Mormon is claimed to have been translated from documents antedating by thousands of years the King James version of the Bible. Strange that it should so closely resemble it. Well, I guess that proves how miraculous it really was, huh?

And tradition Christians distort the direct words of Jesus from the GOSPELS. Who is selling a different Gospel? Those who cling to the direct words of Jesus or those who prefer Paul over Jesus in everything they seek to understand?
