If God created Jesus and God created Satan, then they would be 'brothers'.

Is that the LDS reasoning?

<SNIP>

Unless your are hopelessly stuck in a cult or are a confirmed atheist, I suggest again you read the Bible.

Try this on for LDS reasoning:

Do Mormons Believe Jesus and Satan are brothers?
That depends on what you mean by brothers, suffice it to say that is not a "Mormon" teaching you will hear stated in Sunday School, but we believe the Bible, so consider the following scriptures:

Hebrews 12: 9

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

God is the Father of Spirits.

2 Peter 2:4

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Satan was once an angel, and was cast out of heaven.

Hebrews 1:7

7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

Angels have spirits and can call God Father.

1 John 1:34

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

So Satan was once an angel, Angels have a spirit, and God is the father of Spirits, also Jesus is "The Son of God" therefore, according to the Bible, they are brothers. We believe the Bible, so.... we believe that Jesus and Satan can be called brothers just like everyone who believes the Bible.

What is misleading is that this is presented as a shocking belief when it is just Biblical.

One of the Twists of phraseology is to call Satan "God's Brother" which is a phrase from the occult, and thus phrasing this question this way makes a belief which all who believe the Bible to be the word of God, cannot deny to sound like we are part of the Occult, which is the point of the question.

Questions like this when analyzed sound like "So, when did you stop beating your wife..."

2 Peter 2:1-3

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.

2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
