the Jesus that the LDS believen is the Same Jesus in the Bible.

Not according to Hinckley...
Not the same Jesus
“There are 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.”
– LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley (LDS Church News, June 20, 1998)
“It is true that many of the Christian churches worship a different Jesus Christ than is worshipped by the Mormons.” – LDS publication, Ensign Magazine, May 1977, p. 26
Poor Hinckley also asserted that Jesus was fooled and that caused Him to end up on the Cross! It was Hinckley’s Mormon way of absolving himself of being duped by a forger, with the Salamander letters. The mormon jesus is feckless, a dupe, but yet they asseert this feckless jesus is essential for their progression into the heavenlies. Ah the mystery of ungodliness.
