There are differences between Christian and Mormon belief.

Christians do not believe that Satan and Jesus were brothers.

Christians do not believe that men can become Gods.

It's dishonest to pretend that there's no difference.

That's all that's really being said here.

And insensitive as it may seem, ... it would be most unloving if noone on this thread pointed that out (particularly as it relates to one's rightness with God).

If God had said that it didn't matter what we believed ... it would be a different matter.

I grieve for the young men who were the victims of this senseless crime.

But there will be more reason for grief if God's truth is not heard.

"There are differences between Christian and Mormon belief."

Frankly, I don't care (too much) if you don't think I'm a Christian. At that level it's all a game of definitions anyway, so I don't take what one feels is required to call themself Christian too seriously. However, that's not all that was being said here. People were gravely misrepresenting my beliefs. I merely answered questions and addressed inaccuracies.

There are differences between Christian and Mormon belief.

You are correct. Now, why is that? We content that we have received modern revelation to clarify the truth, via living prophets and additional scripture.

For example, we know that Satan (known as Lucifer in the pre-mortal world) was our brother because of clarifying revelation. But the Bible does allude to this:

Isaiah 14:
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.
