Best Answer

The ancient record that was translated by Joseph Smith is now published as the Book of Mormon. He also translated a much smaller and lesser-known ancient record that is published among Mormon scripture in the Pearl of Great Price as the Book of Abraham.

The actual metal plates which he translated into the Book of Mormon were taken into heaven by the angel Moroni, which lead him to them in the first place.

What did john smith take control of?

John Smith? Maybe you mean Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith was the first modern prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons). He didn't take over from anyone, he was the first. Technically, Joseph Smith took over from the ancient apostle, Simon Peter, who was with Christ in His ministry. This is why it was Peter, along with James and John, appeared to Joseph Smith and who conferred the rights of the Melchizedek Priesthood Keys upon the head of Joseph Smith, because they passed what they then held in their own possession at Joseph's time, upon him.

Where did Joseph smith say he received the ideas for the book of Mormons?

Joseph Smith claimed to have recieved an ancient recordinscribed on metal plates. These plates were buried underground and he was lead to the spot where they were by an angel. The Book of Mormon is a direct translation of this ancient record, whichJoseph translated from an unknown language (a sort of Hebrew/Egyptian hybrid) by the gift and power of God. The Book of Mormon does not claim to be a collection of religious "ideas" given to Joseph Smith, but a direct translation of the Word of God as given to ancient peoples. Several friends and associates of Joseph Smith assisted him in transcribing the translation as he dictated it straight from the plates, all ofwhom testified that his story is true. You may be thinking instead of the Doctrine and Covenants, which is a collection of visions andrevelations given to Joseph Smith from God. The Doctrine and Covenants serves as a modern witness, as opposed to the ancient records of the Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon.
