The Book of Mormon mentions Korihor who was a skeptic and believed: "... there could be no atonement made for the sins of men, but every man fared in this life according to the management of the creature; therefore every man prospered according to his genius, and that every man conquered according to his strength; and whatsoever a man did was no crime." 30:12 And this Anti-Christ, whose name was Korihor, (and the law could have no hold upon him) began to preach unto the people that there should be no Christ. And after this manner did he preach, saying: 30:13 O ye that are bound down under a foolish and vain hope, why do ye yoke yourselves with such foolish things? Why do ye look for a Christ? For no man can know of anything that is to come. 30:14 Behold, these things which ye call prophecies, which ye say are handed down by holy prophets, behold, they are foolish traditions of your fathers. 30:15 How do ye know of their surety? Behold, ye cannot know of things which ye do not see; therefore ye cannot know that there shall be a Christ. 30:16Ye look forward and say that ye see a remission of your sins. But behold, it is the effect of a frenzied mind; and this derangement of your minds comes because of the traditions of your fathers, which lead you away into a belief of things which are not so. 30:17 And many more such things did he say unto them, telling them that there could be no atonement made for the sins of men, but every man fared in this life according to the management of the creature; therefore every man prospered according to his genius, and that every man conquered according to his strength; and whatsoever a man did was no crime. Incidentally, he asked for a sign from God, and was struck dumb by God so that he couldn't corrupt anyone else by teaching that there would be no Christ. This was about 74 B.C. ... and Christ did come, so he was proven wrong.

Where did korihor come from?
In the Book of Mormon in Alma 30 v 6 it only says "But it came to pass in the latter end of the seventeenth year, there came a man into the land of Zarahemla, and he was Anti-Christ, for he began to preach unto the people against the prophecies which had been spoken by the prophets, concerning the coming of Christ." The rest goes on to talk about this Korihor, but there is no indication from what part of the land he came from.

Is the book of Mormon considered a Christian book?
To those who follow the Mormon faith, the Book of Mormon is indeed another testament of Jesus Christ, and His eternal position as the Savior and mediator of all mankind. To them, the Book of Mormon compliments and supports the teachings of the Bible, not replaces it. Just as the Bible is a record of God's dealings with people in the Eastern hemisphere, which includes the prophecies, birth, ministry, teachings, crucifiction, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the savior of the world, the Book of Mormon contains writings from people who lived in the Western hemisphere. The writings of the Book of Mormon contain the histories of these people from about the time of the tower of Babel, to about 400 AD. The prophets in the book testify of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, and record His dealings with them. Found in the Book of Mormon are prophecies of Jesus' birth, ministry from prophets, and a first hand account of the natural disasters that occurred following His crucifiction. Following His resurrection, the Savior visited the people in the Western hemisphere, and taught the His gospel. This event is recorded in the 3 Nephi 11 in the Book of Mormon.
