How many times in the book of John was Jesus called the only begotten Son?
Twice, also once in Hebrews, once in first John. Nobody is claiming Satan was "Begotten" by God, he was created just like the other angels only he fell from grace.
Let me state this as plainly as I can, Jesus is the only begotten of the father, no-one else was "Begotten" everything else was created, Angels, Adam, etc. It's actually a big difference, but in a sense, all created beings can call God father, thus Jesus is in that "sense" our brother.
Our belief is just not the Damnable heresy it's being made out to be, and that makes what is being said a lie.

First, Angels do not have spirits, they are spirits. Second, Christ (the Word-the 2nd Person of the Trinity-Jn.1:1-2) created everything, including the Angels (Col.1:16-17) So, Satan (Lucifer) is not a brother of Jesus Christ.
The second member of the Trinity, became a human being, not an Angel (2:16), and that is why only He can call the Father, Father, since He is the Father's only begotten Son, not any of the Angels. (Heb.1:5)
