Do the Mormons reject the Holy Trinity in favor of a more accurate Holy Quartet?

Jesus and satan are brothers according to them.
The bible says Jesus is the creator and created Satan.....
which is right?
The bible or mormonism?

The only way you could possibly believe that Jesus created Satan is if you believe that Jesus = God the Father, something that not everyone believes!
Mormons do not believe that God is some kind of "Quartet". There is a Heavenly Father, a Heavenly Mother (who is too sacred to talk about, apparently, and is one of many, I assume), and a bunch of children. We are the spirit children, along with Jesus and Satan.
There is also a Holy Ghost, but that is a separate being also. God is thought of, in Mormon terms, as the Father, the Son who saves us, and the Holy Ghost who embodies their spiritual power. Hopefully I've stated that correctly. Sunday School was two decades ago.
Satan is not in any way regarded as holy.

I looked up the web site for the Southern Baptist Convention. I found in their statement of faith a paragraph on God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They never used the word trinity instead said "The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being."
Mormans believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. Your faith may, but there is no Mormon acceptance of the devil in that company.
The small difference with Baptists on this point is the fuzzy point of having personal attributes and being an undivided being. Mormons just use the Bible and it's commentary about the Godhead. We say that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are united in purpose, not anatomically.

Mormons do not believe that Satan is God, nor do they believe that Jesus and the Devil are twins. Mormons believe that God (or better said, the "Godhead") is comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Mike Huckabee is hardly a good source to go for Mormon doctrine.

Mormons believe in the Godhead.
God the Father, Jesus Christ and The Holy Ghost. All three separate beings.
No the devil is not Jesus's twin and no he is not part of the Godhead.

No matter how I count that list, it isn't a quartet
father, jesus, devil, twins, holy spirit... that's six ... unless jesus and the devil are two poles of the same things, and that makes five counting the holy spirit... and if you don't count the holy spirit what's the point of the whole exercise.
Religious symbolism is headache worthy material!

i believe they are all areas of one entity and that all of them serve a various purpose. Jesus is the actual variety that became into sent right here to die for individuals's sins and to set an occasion of ways Christians are meant to stay there lives, God is the writer, and the Holy Spirit is in spirit variety and lives on your heart and publications you so as which you're making the excellent options in existence. i'm hoping it is smart, i will't in any respect seem to describe that all and sundry right.

No. The whole Jesus and Satan are brothers thing is getting a little old. It's been explained more then once.
Read this page on a website I'm posting. It will answer your question.
