“All of us lived in this heavenly spiritual realm before we were born with physical bodies on the earth. Christ was begotten of the Father, as were all of us, including Lucifer, who was a Son of the Morning. The title Son of the Morning could either signify that Lucifer was one of the earliest born of the spirits, or was illustrious, or both. The name Lucifer means lightbearer or shining one. Since both Christ and Lucifer were born of the Father, they are brothers in a spiritual sense, as all of us are brothers and sisters in that sense. (LDS teaching regarding Joseph Smiths, Pearl of Great Price: Book of Moses 4:1-4)
So Jesus and Lucifer are brothers, both born of the Father?
So what is you source for this so called paraphase?
Satan, Literally our elder brother, born to Heavenly Parents in the premortal life. Jesus, Lucifer and humans are all the same species and are brothers and sisters. (Gospel Principles pp. 11, 17, 18)So Jesus and Lucifer (Satan) are brothers?
Perhaps comment on this one:
Thanks!"Paul says that which is earthly is in the likeness of that which is heavenly. Hence if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that He had a Father also? I despise the idea of being scared to death at such a doctrine, for the Bible is full of it. I want you to pay particular attention to what I am saying. Jesus said that the Father wrought precisely in the same way as His Father had done before Him. As the Father had done before? He laid down His life, and took it up the same as His Father had done before." (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 373)Jesus' Father (God) laid down His life, same as Jesus?
Um, Resty, it is right there in your own post...

Perhaps if you actually pay attention to what you and others write you can escape the LDS cult and return to the family of Christ (the not Satan's brother one)
