8. The Book of Mormon is a sacred text of the Latter Day Saint movement, which adherents believe contains writings of ancient prophets who lived on the American continent from approximately 2200 BC to AD 421.
   
   It was first published in March 1830 by Joseph Smith as The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi.
   
   According to Smith's account and the book's narrative, the Book of Mormon was originally written in otherwise unknown characters referred to as "reformed Egyptian" engraved on golden plates.
   
   Smith said that the last prophet to contribute to the book, a man named Moroni, buried it in Cumorah Hill in present-day New York, then returned to earth in 1827 as an angel, revealing the location of the plates to Smith, and instructing him to translate it into English for use in the restoration of Christ's true church in the latter days.
   
   Critics claim that it was fabricated by Smith, drawing on material and ideas from contemporary 19th-century works rather than translating an ancient record.
   
   The Book of Mormon has a number of original and distinctive doctrinal discussions on subjects such as the fall of Adam and Eve, the nature of the Atonement, eschatology, redemption from physical and spiritual death, and the organization of the latter-day church.
   
   The pivotal event of the book is an appearance of Jesus Christ in the Americas shortly after his resurrection.
   
   The Book of Mormon is the earliest of the unique writings of the Latter Day Saint movement, the denominations of which typically regard the text primarily as scripture, and secondarily as a historical record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas.
   
   The Book of Mormon is divided into smaller books, titled after the individuals named as primary authors and, in most versions, divided into chapters and verses.
   
   It is written in English very similar to the Early Modern English linguistic style of the King James Version of the Bible, and has since been fully or partially translated into 108 languages.
   
   As of 2011, more than 150 million copies of the Book of Mormon have been published.
9. Joseph smith dam dam dam dam dam
10. The only plates Joseph Smith found was when his 40 wives served him dinner!
11. Joseph Smith didn't just find the golden plates.
12. That book contains more than a price of gold or diamond..
13. "Historical document"
14. Is it just me or is Rebeca hot?
15. I have Rebecca checking out the Lindbergh book on my channel
16. She is NICE!!!
17. I wonder if I'm related to Rebecca in anyway lol
18. 0:25 "I am going to ask for $25,000. This is the least I would take".
    If 25k is the least you would take, do not ask for it. Shoot higher so you have some room to come down.
19. I'm in love whit Rebecca
20. It holds an even greater value than a monetary one.
