The manuscript of the Bible JST has been lost for a couple centuries now. But The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now owns the historic Kirtland Temple and other property from the Community of Christ, formerly RLDS. The Kirtland Temple has immense historic and religious significance to millions of Latter-day Saints and others who consider it sacred because it both is the first temple completed after the founding of the Church of Jesus Christ in 1830 and is a place Latter-day Saints believe Jesus Christ appeared days after Joseph Smith dedicated it in 1836. “We are deeply honored to assume the stewardship of these sacred places, documents and artifacts,” President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in the joint statement. “We thank our friends at Community of Christ for their great care and cooperation in preserving these historical treasures thus far. We are committed to doing the same.”
