The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ

The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ is a small denomination within the Latter Day Saint movement. Formally organized on May 27, 2007 in Derbyshire, England, the church is comprised primarily of former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The leader of the church is Matthew Philip Gill, who is accepted by the church as a prophet, seer, revelator, and translator, which are some of the ecclesiastical titles held by Latter Day Saint movement founder Joseph Smith, Jr.

The members of the church began meeting informally in 2006 as The Latter Day Church of Christ. The name of the church was changed at its formal organization.

The church believes that Gill is the first legitimate successor to Joseph Smith since Smith's death in 1844. They believe that God's true church has not existed on the earth since that time. The church accepts the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, the 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon and the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants. They also accept the Book of Jeraneck (a 110-page record that Gill translated from metal plates that purports to be a record of the ancient inhabitants of the British Isles) as scripture. Gill's revelations from God are also being collected and printed as a book of scripture entitled the Book of Prophecy and Revelation. The church is also in the process of deciding which apocryphal books to include in its biblical canon.
The church rejects the practice of plural marriage and maintains that Smith never taught or practiced it. Although the church rejects all affiliation with the Utah-based LDS Church, it describes itself as a "Mormon organization".

Book of Jeraneck

The Book of Jeraneck is one of the sacred texts of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. No other religious denomination accepts the 110-page book as scripture.

According to Gill, in 2006 he translated Book of Jeraneck from 24 brass plates that he received from God. The book purports to be a record of the former ancient inhabitants of the British Isles. Gill's followers claim his story has many parallels to the story of Joseph Smith, Jr.'s production of the Book of Mormon as a record of ancient inhabitants of the Americas. Among the claims of the Book of Jeraneck is that Stonehenge was a Christian "Temple of Light" of the prehistorical residents of England.

The book was published by the church in 2007.

Interesting. They even have an official blog: The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ

FLDS, RLDS, LDS and the The Latter Day Church Of Jesus Christ. Now I'm really confused.

Are there any links with pictures to the 24 golden plates that have been translated into the Book of Jeranek? Inquiring scientists will most likely be interested in examining them.

Of course not. The only way you are allowed to see the 24 BRASS plates is if you have been in the church long enough, they have prayed about it and Jesus tells Matt you can see them. Having them on display would be far to logical.

It will be interesting to see if they flourish, maybe there are golden plates for every country. Look out for the Saudi version next.

I saw an image of Joseph Smith and Jesus in my toast this morning. He told me all previous LDS churches are false and he appointed me as head apostle of the NILDS church. "New and Improved Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints".

Sorry to confuse you even more, having visited Independence, Missouri recently, I found that the RLDS is now the Community of Christ ...
