Isn't this sub-title more accurate and in harmony with the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley's statement below?

"In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints 'do not believe in the traditional Christ.' 'No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. He together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.'"
(LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p.7)
 

The Bible, however, warns about other Christs:
 "At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do no believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect--if that were possible." (Mark 13:21-22)
The Jesus Christ of the LDS Church:
 1. Was born in Jerusalem. (Alma 7:10)
 2. Was begotten by sexual relationship between Mary and God the Father. (The Seer,p158; Mormon Doctrine, pp546-547; Doctrines of Salvation Vol.1,p.18)
 3. Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer. (Mormon Doctrine, pp164,192-193,590; Gospel Through the Ages 1945, p.15)
 4. Jesus was a polygamist. Mary, Martha and others were His wives, and He begat many children. (Journal of Discourses Vol.1:345-346; Vol.2:79-81, 210: Vol.4:259-260; Vol.11:328; Vol.13:309; The Seer,p.172)
 5. At Christ's death, 16 cities were destroyed, thousands of people killed. The LDS Jesus was a vengeful destroyer. (3 Nephi 8:25, 9:15)		 The Jesus Christ of the Bible:
 1. Was born in Bethlehem. (Matt. 2:1)
 2. Was born of the virgin through the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 1:18-23; Luke 1:34-35)
 3. Jesus created the heavens and the angels, including Lucifer. (Isaiah 14:12-15 ; Psalm 33:6; Hebrews 11:3; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-17, 2;9, John 1:1-3,14)
 4. Some of the Old Testament people were polygamists, but God indicated His displeasure with their having many wives. (Gen. 2:24; Deut. 17:17) After Jesus came, New Testament believers were instructed to be the husband of but one wife. (1 Tim. 3:2, 12)
 5. After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, He prayed, "Father forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34) The Biblical Jesus gave up His life to save all mankind.
There are only two places where man will spend eternity- Heaven or Hell. The Bible says if you follow another Jesus Christ, you will spend eternity in Hell. (Deut. 13:1-5; 18:20-22: Ephes. 5:6; Hebrews 10:29-31; II Thess. 2:8-12)

Even if you follow another Jesus Christ sincerely, you will still be sincerely wrong; for Jesus Himself said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) Which Jesus are you following?

THE PROBLEM
 Dear LDS friend, that down-deep awareness that something is missing in your life is a need to know Jesus Christ in a very personal way. The LDS Church, or any other religion, can never satisfy this longing. Only a personal relationship with the one true Jesus has lasting satisfaction. The Bible says you are "dead in trespasses and sins" without this relationship with Jesus. (Eph. 2:1)

THE TEST
 "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?" (2 Cor. 13:5). All mankind is created with an inherent need to have Jesus indwelling them--and nothing else will fill that need. "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." (1 John 5:12)

THE ANSWER
 Jesus is standing at the door of your life knocking. He won't come in unless you invite Him in--"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me." ( Rev. 3:20) Confess your sins-- ask the one true Jesus Christ to come into your life--surrender your life to Jesus. YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE! Here is a sample prayer you can pray.

YOUR PRAYER
 Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sins to you, and ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died for my sins, and I want to turn from my sins. Thank you for forgiving me-- now I ask you to come into my heart and life, be my Lord and Savior, and I give you my life. You take control of my life from this point on. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

OUR PRAYER
 May God truly bless you, dear LDS friend, and we pray that the spiritual bondage in your life will be broken and that you will be set free in the love, joy, and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

2 Corinthians 11:4, 13-15
 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].

13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Galatians 1:6-9
 6 ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
