Today in History, in the year 1830, Joseph Smith organizes the first meeting of the Church of Christ with a small group of believers.
Smith was said to have been visited by an angel named 'Moroni' who informed him of an ancient text, which was engraved on gold plates, that was lost for 1,500 years. He spent the next six years translating the text which told of ancient people in America, who were Israelites. Out of this work came the book of Mormon and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The Bible tells us that if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel preach any other Gospel than that which was given to us, let that person or angel be accursed. Here is Paul talking to the Galatians:
"I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
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."
