Do Mormons think that Jesus and Satan are brothers?

Question

Mormons only
PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

Anti-Mormons often twist our doctrines out of context to make people falsely believe that Latter-Day Saints denigrate Jesus and consider Satan and the Lord to be equals. Of course, anyone familiar with our beliefs about Jesus Christ knows that we have the utmost respect and reverence for Our Savior and Redeemer.

First, Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God the Father (and is therefore divine) and the mortal virgin Mary. Satan, a malignant spirit, does not share this parental heritage of Jesus, and cannot be considered divine in any respect. Therefore, in the usual way that we speak of brothers and sisters, Jesus and Satan are not brothers.

However, Latter-day Saints believe that God is our Father in Heaven. Before we came to this world, we all lived as spirits under his care and guidance. We believe that God begat or created the spirits of Jesus, Lucifer, and all of the human family as his children. Our Heavenly Father is literally the father of our spirits. Jesus Christ is considered the preeminent "firstborn" or "firstbegotten" (see Hebrews 1:4-6; Firstborn in the Spirit)

Even though God the Father created all of our spirits, we were not equal in that premortal state. Jesus was a member of the Eternal Godhead, through his own innate worthiness, and created the universe under the Father’s direction. The Godhead is comprised of our Heavenly Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Since the Fall of Adam, the Father has represented himself to the world through Jesus Christ. Jesus was Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament.

Lucifer, who was never a member of the Godhead like Jesus, rebelled against God, and was forever cast out. He became Satan, our adversary. Unlike Jesus or us, Lucifer will never be born into a physical body.

Latter-day Saint scriptures summarize this issue as follows:

AND I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying--Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.

But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me--Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.

Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;

And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice. (The Pearl of Great Price, Moses 4:1-4)

So it can be said that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers, in the sense of both being spiritually begotten by the Father, but it is a misrepresentation to say so without giving the contextual background. Whatever similarities in background exist between Jesus and Satan pale compared to the differences. Jesus is the Beloved and Chosen, who is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh.

Answer 2

The Mormons are free to believe what they wish. Jesus is in no way related to Satan. Jesus is of this earth; Satan is of another. Satan has more in common with Yahweh. As a matter of fact, they happen to be colleagues and very respectful of each other. This fact is very difficult for Christians to accept under the best of circumstances.

Answer 3

Yeah, everyone is spiritual brothers and sisters. There was a war in heaven; God gave us the plan of salvation. When he asked for a savior, Lucifer and Jesus both agreed to do it. Satan wanted to take a different rout though, he wanted to force every one to do the right thing, while Jesus wanted to stick to God's original plan. Satan was cast out along with his followers (1/3 of everyone there). Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Yes, Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are the eldest two spirit children of "heavenly father and mother". Both offered God a plan of salvation... Jesus' was chosen and Lucifer rebelled. This is, of course, against what the bible teaches in many ways. do not be blinded. it is another gospel. Galations 1 says they are to be accursed.

Answer 5

Yes, you morons stay out of this!!! As a true follower of the faith let me tell you. Before the coming of the Saviour and life on Earth, there was a war in Heaven. Lucifer(later known as Satan) wanted to force men to do the right and he alone wanted the glory. Jesus, his brother, wanted men to choose between right and wrong. He wanted to be sent as a Saviour and Jesus felt that HIs Father should receive the glory. Lucifer and his followers(one third of the Heavenly hosts) rebelled and were cast out of Heaven and sent to Perdition. I hope this clears up all the confusion. And to those who answered in the negative, WRONG!! You need to be set right.

Answer 6

yes they are and God the Father loves them both--He just doesn't like what Lucifer does. He rebelled and was thrown out of heaven without getting the priveledge of a physical body so he (Satan) is now insanely jealous of all of us since we get to have a body. That's why he wants us to commit sin--so that we will end up miserable like he is.
