To: Not just another dumb blonde

“Can you cite those verses for me, please?”

Sure, here are a couple:

Revelation 12:7-9 - According to LDS doctrine, we were among “Michael and his angels.”
Isaiah 14:12-14 - In LDS theology, “son of the morning” referred to the members of the great governing council in our pre-mortal life that included Jesus Christ.

I could go on, but I make it a practice to not delve too deeply into scripture in this forum; nobody agrees on what they mean, anyway, and I don’t care to fight about it.

One place where you and I will find a disconnect is the definition of “angel.” In Mormon beliefs, an angel is a servant/messenger of God, but is just as much His child as you and I - but is not currently in his mortal life.

In that sense, Lucifer was an angel - until, through his pride, he fell. But, spiritually, and angel and a human are kindred.

~”You mean something Joseph Smith said?”~

Yes, among others. Like I have indicated it is difficult to come to the conclusions I have outlined if you don’t have the clarification of modern prophets. Since no other denomination accepts that possibility, their followers continue to disagree with us on these points.

While I, OTOH, post as MUCH as possible and hopefully it can SPEAK for itself!

(Well; I just MIGHT add a bit of color or bold to it... ;^)
