The Mormon Jesus does not have a personal relationship
The Jesus of Mormonism does not have a personal relationship with us. Mormonism refers to this as "false and vain", "perilous", "improper" and part of "Lucifer’s system." (See Deseret News, Church News Section, page 5, March 5, 1982 by Elder Bruce McConkie.)

The authentic Jesus is one that we can know personally as Saviour. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and sup with him and he with me" (Rev. 3:20).

The Jesus of the Bible is the true creator of all things -- all that ever was created was His work; He needed no assistance from Joseph Smith or anyone else. (See Colossians 1:16, 17.)
The Jesus of Mormonism
The Mormon Jesus is the son Adam, who was God the Father.
The Mormon writings reveal their "Jesus" as one who "was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the Garden of Eden, and who is our Father in heaven." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. I, pp. 50-51) Early Mormon leadership taught Adam was God, even though current writers deny it.
The Jesus of the Bible
The biblical Jesus was Eternal God who partook of humanity
(Hebrews 2:14). His incarnation was the work of the Godhead (Hebrews 10:5, Luke 1:35).

Mormon leaders have admitted that they believe in another Jesus, not the One of historic, biblical Christianity. (See Ensign, May, 1977, page 26.)

The Biblical Jesus is the only Jesus
He warned of false Christ, and false prophets. Matthew 24
There really is only one true Jesus. False apostles and deceitful workers consistently propagate a false Jesus. (See 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.)
