Where does it say there that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers?
Also, if they WERE brothers, that would mean that Jesus was a CREATION, like Lucifer. That would be so very wrong too. It would mean that Jesus was a mere angel and not God.
MY version is: One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
THAT says that Satan was an angel...and he was. It does
Another version: One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Accuser, Satan, came with them.
There are a full dozen versions if you look them all up. The Mormons chose the one they like. Of course, Mormons aren't even considered Christians if they put Jesus and Satan as brothers, are they? However, they ARE entitled to their own version.
Since it was the early Catholic Church that compiled the old and new testaments into one book, I guess all the versions can be seen via one version or another.
It doesn't matter to me. But, I wouldn't put Jesus and Lucifer as brothers. I do know that the Mormons have been bleeding members since the Internet came into such popularity. EVERYONE can access it and find out what kind of cocoon they were living in.
I am not a student of Mormon theology but I think the reasoning is: Satan is among the angels, who are labeled ‘Sons of God’. Jesus is also labeled Son of God. Mormons, choosing a temporal view of a divine relationship, see two Sons by the same Father as brothers. I have certainly seen whackier leaps of reasoning...
One of the many things that makes this country so great is each person’s or group’s right to interpret the Bible as they see fit. I don’t have to agree with it or disagree or even think about it.
