All Christians believe that Jesus is the brother of Lucifer, they just don't realise it.
Who is Jesus' father? God.
Who created Satan? God. Thus who is Satan's Father? God.
Two children of the same father are brothers.
You are also God's child, which makes you Satan's sister.
It's really wierd that anti-Mormons make a big thing of this Jesus and Satan being brothers thing, because Mormons don't actively preach it or even think about it much. We just happen to believe that we are all brothers and sisters (and Jesus is also our brother) because we are all God's children. It is the anti-Mormons who made this big connection that Jesus and Satan must be brothers. Desperate for something to hold against us, I suppose.

Yes, Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers, the one leading those who follow God the Father and the other leading those who rebelled against God. Why that should be so weird is a mystery to me. Jews believe that Satan works for God, he tempts and tests the faithfulness of God's people but always under the direction of God...it wasn't until later that the Christians changed his role to be more in line with ancient pagan beliefs of the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Someone said that Mormons believe that black people fought on the side of Satan in the war in heaven...that's not true. Some early Mormon leaders said that black people were not as valiant or that they were fence sitters during the war in heaven. Hence the black, and to them, less desirable, skin.

A similar question was just asked the other day... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApN2hpMTUvS8EsdS5tR5krvty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070926171803AA3jRvj&show=7#profile-info-fc5cbfaaa822973b8f67801ef5154a6caa
I will simply copy my answer from that one:
Why is it that Anti-Mormons always like to bring up the fact that we believe Jesus and Lucifer were brothers, as if it is some strange thing, and yet they never complain that we teach Jesus is our brother? God is the Father of spirits (Heb 12:9). All of us, Jesus and Lucifer included, are spirit children of God; that means we are all brothers and sisters, children of a divine being. We all existed with God prior to the creation of the Earth; we even shouted for joy at its creation (Job 38:4-7). One of our Father's children (Lucifer) rebelled and took one third of the host of heaven with him during a war of words (Rev 12). God kicked Satan and his followers out of heaven (Rev 12:9 , Isa 14:12); I guess you could say that Lucifer was also kicked out of the family of God, and was effectively disowned. Since then it has been his intention to deceive people and spread evil across the world, in an attempt to destroy God's plan.
Now, let me ask, is it crazy to adopt the belief that Jesus and Lucifer could be related? Is it crazy to think that Jesus and Lucifer share the same Father? We know that many of God's children follow all kinds of different paths; some of us are very good people, some are downright evil, and others fall somewhere in between. Therefore, it is not illogical to suppose that one of God's spirit children could be evil, as was Lucifer. Furthermore, if Lucifer was created by God, that would mean that God is his Father, by virtue of being his creator; if Lucifer is in this sense a son of God, and Jesus is also a Son of God, would that not then make them brothers? The only other choice is to suppose that Lucifer was not created by God at all, but came from somewhere else; but if this were the case I don't know why he would have been dwelling in heaven with the rest of us prior to his expulsion.

We are all children of God. Before the world was created, Lucifer/Satan rebelled and convinced 1/3 of the God's children to follow him. They were cast out and will never have the chance to recieve bodies. The rest of us all do. Jesus was the firstborn and greatest of God's children. He literally is our big brother.
I guess the big difference is that we don't believe that angels are different creations than we are. We believe that angels are like us but in different stages of progression. There are three types of angels. Those who are spirits who have not been born into a physical body (that's what we all were before birth). Then there are those that have died and are spirits. And lastly, those that have died, and been resurrected with immortal bodies.

Not just these two but all of us are children of Heavenly Father. Therefore both are also your brother. Bible Scripture:
Job1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

First of all, I want to refute what someone commented up above:
"Satan rebelled and there was a war. he lost and those that fought with him became black people (not very PC i know)
those who fought with Jesus became Mormons
if a black person was a good Mormon they would become white. (Michael Jackson is a Mormon?)
if your a good Mormon you get you own planet with lots of wives and cam make spirit babies for new planets (personally a planet full of hormonal pregnant women and crying babies is NOT heaven but to each their own)"
We DON'T believe that the people who rebelled with satan became black people! We DON'T believe that the people who went with Jesus became Mormon! We DON'T believe that black people will become or need to become white. We DON'T believe that we will get a planet with a lot of wives. Wow. People... c'mon now. Posting lies about another religion isn't a very Christian behavior.
We DO believe that we are all spirit children of God the Father. DO We believe that Jesus is the Firstborn of the father, and Lucifer is also a spirit child of God the Father. This would make them spritual brothers. We could then say that we are all spiritual brothers and sisters. Jesus is our elder brother.

I dont have your answer, but will still like to make input. FOr the one always saying shut up, please dont ever let that bother you. If they dont want to hear anything of a religious nature, then why are they on here? This is what this forum is for. So speak only to those that do care and never let the others bother you. THey are usually just ppl that are angry at God or self, not always, but often, and we just must pray for them and leave them to God.
Now, to your question. I have been told that by mormons too, and I dont know how anyone could believe that. I am anxious to see your answers. But we do know that is false, as there is nothing in the Holy Bible about that. God tells us all we need is in the Holy Bible, with the full teachings of Jesus Christ. so, when ppl need other books to proove their Christian faith, then we must see it for what it is. No one or no religion has authority over the Bible. Those arent my words, those are Gods words. We can all believe what we please and share those beliefs in this forum, but to be Christian, a follwer of Jesus Christ, means we obey what GOd says in the Holy Bible. Example I could not call myself Mormon and then say I dont believe in the Book of Mormon, nor do I believe in Joseph SMith or Brigham Young as prophets. IF I did that, how can I say I am Mormon??? Same principle here, BEing Christian means being a follwr of JEsus Christ, according to the HOly Bible, as thats what Gods says. Many scriptures to support it, but in second John we are told to beware of false prophets, and God is clear, unless someone bring you GOd with the full teachings of Jesus Christ, it is false.
Great question..

They teach (although wont admit it) that Elohim their god had 2 sons,
Jesus and Lucifer
they were going to start a new planet.
Jesus said he would be Savior of this new planet
Lucifer said he would take over the planet
the gods (more than one) voted and picked Jesus idea.
Satan rebelled and there was a war. he lost and those that fought with him became black people (not very PC i know)
those who fought with Jesus became Mormons
if a black person was a good Mormon they would become white. (Michael Jackson is a Mormon?)
if your a good Mormon you get you own planet with lots of wives and cam make spirit babies for new planets (personally a planet full of hormonal pregnant women and crying babies is NOT heaven but to each their own)
