It is not accurate to call it that and by changing the title of the book you change its whole meaning which is something the book itself explicitly says not to do.
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. " - Revelation 22:18-19

christians are often not very learned on much of anything, including the bible. they just parrot what they are told to think by their church.

I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Adding the letter s simply makes the word mean more than one. If you have read Revelation (and I assume you have), then you know that many things are revealed, not simply one thing so it is in that sense accurate to call it Revelations. However, my primary point is that unless you are reading the original transcript of the writings that make up the Bible in its original language, changes have been made and are accepted world wide. Let's not be picking on people for such small differences. It does not change the facts or the concepts put forth by God.

The LDS Church has had a minimum of 5 diverse names (D.H.C., Vol. III, p. 24). On April 6, 1830, it replaced into initially referred to as the "Church of Christ" (see D. & C. 20:a million, D. & C., copyright internet site, or 1833 e book of Commandments). On could 3, 1834, the call replaced into replaced to the "Church of Latter Day Saints" (D.H.C., Vol. II, p. sixty 3). nevertheless later, on April 26, 1838, it replaced into replaced to the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" because it quite is ordinary immediately (D. & C. a hundred and fifteen:3-4). As for The Church of Jesus Christ, it is from the Media internet site of the LDS Church: The first rate call of the Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This finished call replaced into given via revelation from God to Joseph Smith in 1838.— on an identical time as the term "Mormon Church" has long been publicly utilized to the Church as a nickname, it quite is not a qualified call, and the Church discourages its use. while writing on the subject of the Church, please persist with those policies: in the 1st reference, the great call of the Church is favourite: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Please stay away from using “Mormon Church,” “LDS Church” or “the Church of the Latter-day Saints.” while a shortened reference is needed, the words “the Church” or “the Church of Jesus Christ” are inspired. it style of feels to me that asking to be referred to as "The Church of Jesus Christ" in any respect is cheating. That call is taken via yet another Mormon splinter team. attempting to apply it in this sort is devious.

It should be called the Revelation of John, not Jesus.

Does it really matter? The book should be titled "The Book of Obfuscation" It is vague nonsense written by primitive zealots.

It's the same reason someone will call a product toothpaste but we brush all our teeth with it.
