Russ: The mormon Jesus is the brother of lucifer.

Jeanie: Yep - so? If you know so much about us, you also know we believe we all existed as spirit children in a pre-earth life.... So in that sense, we are also brother and sister to Satan. When the plan was presented to come to earth to get bodies and be tested and prove ourselves, Jesus volunteered to be our Savior and do it to the glory of God but it would involve free agency. lucifer wanted to do it differently.....he wanted to pretty much force us all to do what was right (in which case there would have been no true growth) and also wanted the glory himself! his pride got in the way and he rebelled against heaven taking a third of the hosts of heaven (us being included in that host but we went with Christ's plan - if you are here on this earth, you "kept your first estate" and earned the privilege of gaining a body and coming to this earth) with him. They never got bodies and are here on the earth, now, to help with the testing, technically. They are miserable and want us to be miserable, too. Jesus Christ is everything you also believe and more, though. Believing He is the LITERAL son of God.....(both spiritually and in an earthly sense) does not lessen his role. It, actually, makes it more valiant and noble. He came to earth half man and half God. He had to learn and grow into His role and learn, himself, who He truly was. And He overcame. He is our beloved big brother.....He shows us the way and is our exemplar and He has bought us with a price. He is our Lord and Savior and, now, He is our God. He is the God of this earth.... (and is also its literal creator). But God the Father created man.... I can supply Biblical scripture to back these statements up.... Here is a testimony given by the Quorum of the 12 Apostles which summarizes it all as well...
