"Romney, vying to become the first Mormon elected president, declined to answer that question during an interview Wednesday, saying church leaders in Salt Lake City had already addressed the topic."

...and their answer was?????

My wife, being a former firmly-entrenched mormon, would tell you that, yes, they in fact believe and are currently taught that Jesus and Satan are brothers. ...Also that if they are good enough, they will become god over their own universe someday. ...Just fyi.

"Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

"There is another power in this world forceful and vicious. In the wilderness of Judaea, on the temple's pinnacles and on the high mountain, a momentous contest took place between two brothers, Jehovah and Lucifer, sons of Elohim."

Spencer W. Kimball, LDS President and Prophet, Conference Report, April 1964, Pg.95

A perfectly legitimate question. I will still support Romney if he is the nominee, but there is nothing wrong with asking him about this stuff.

On the question: Do Mormons believe Jesus and Satan are brothers?

restornu posted a good response here:

Are we not all God's Children and if so did not Lucifer who sang among The Morning Stars who also the one whoFell from Heaven and now no longer part of Heavenly Father children!

Rom. 8: 16-17 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

It is amazine how the same critics have been shown scripture amd continue this misrepresentation of that quote!

Remeber before Lucifer/Satan fell from heaven he was not origianlly an outcast!

Revealtion 12:7-13
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

You can also read from the LDS Gospel Principles manual here: Jesus Christ, Our Chosen Leader and Savior

We believe our Heavenly Father is the Father of all Spirits on this earth, including Jesus Christ, Satan, and each of us. We believe Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the father. Or the only one who's biological parent is Heavenly Father. Some LDS authors have interpreted this to mean that Heavenly Father physically impregnated Mary, but this is not supported by scriptural references or church doctrine.

Personally, religious doctrine is not high on my list of issues to consider for POTUS.
