The Mormon Jesus is revealed in a chart below and has been excerpt from an apologetics website.

Just like attaching a Roll Royce logo to a Volkswagen does not make the latter a Rolls Royce, using the name of Jesus Christ does not make Mormonism "Christian." Suggesting the Mormon Jesus is "Christian" is, in fact, as dishonest as selling a counterfeit watch as a "Rolex." After all, the "Jesus" created by the Mormon Church is far different from - and incompatible with - the biblical Jesus Christ:

 
The Mormon Jesus Christ The Biblical Jesus Christ
A created being: the elder brother of Lucifer Uncreated God
Common (one of many gods) and, in some ways, of minor important in the largerMormon cosmology Unique (the Second Person of the one and only Godhead) and of supreme importance through time, eternity and all creation
Conceived by a physical sex act between God the Father (Adam or Elohim) and Mary, thus not through a true virgin birth Conceived by the Holy Spirit, who supermaturally "overshadowed" Mary, thus a true virgin birth
Once sinful and imperfect Eternally sinless and perfect
Earned his own salvation (exaltation, godhood) As God, never required salvation
A married polygamist? An unmarried monogamist

The third inspired scripture of the Mormon Church is The Pearl of Great Price. The Church also maintains this book has not undergone changes. And yet there are literally thousands of words deleted and hundreds of words added. The Tanner's text Changes in The Pearl of Great Price: A Photo Reprint of the Original 1851 Edition of The Pearl of Great Price With All the Changes Marked proves this beyond doubt.138

Further, a portion of The Pearl of Great Price, "The Book of Abraham," has recently been proven a forgery. It is simply a copy of a pagan text - the Egyptian Book of Breathings, an extension of the occultic Egyptian Book of the Dead relating to the alleged journeys of the soul after death.139

The Mormon Church refuses to acknowledge its fabrication because to do so is to confess that Joseph Smith cannot be trusted in the most vital area of all, his alleged ability to reveal the Word of God.

Smith claimed that he translated both "The Book of Abraham" and the Book of Mormon under the power of God. But if "The Book of Abraham" is now a proven forgery, merely a pagan text with an entirely false translation, how then can any Mormon know that the Book of Mormon is not a similar fabrication?140
