Where did you come up with the idea that the book itself has changed just because a subtitle was added? You need to read the book! There were two varieties of reformed Egyptian at the time Lehi left Jerusalem, One was called by the Greeks hieratic (meaning "priestly"), the other demotic (meaning "popular" (i.e., of the people). Each was a cursive, with demotic being the most cursive. But the Nephites reformed it even further, as Moroni states in Mormon 9:32-34. Again, where are you getting such strange and incorrect ideas?

We have many Latin words in English. The KJV translators used it to denote the sacred building constructed in Jerusalem by Solomon. The word templum is Latin and refers to sacred space.

But you seem not to be aware that the Book of Mormon also testifies of Jesus Christ. Technically, there is no such thing as "Mormonism." We are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we acknowledge Christ as the head of our Church. Mormon is the man who, in the late fourth century AD, abridged the records of his people and called it the Book of Mormon. I suggest you read it before you judge it.
