So you are denying that the LDS church teaches that Jesus was the firstborn of the Father and Lucifer the second? Don’t forget Lucifer was in line to be the “Savior” as well until he rebelled. They both offered themselves as Savior and God heard both sides.
Mormon Jesus and Lucifer are Spirit brothers, there is no denying that is a teaching of the LDS church. I can source it.
I’m really beginning to think you don’t pay attention at church.
And that lurkers in these don't either!

Hi reaganaut — Never heard Lucifer referred to as the second born — he was an angel in authority in the presence of God and rebelled after his proposal to be a saviour was rejected. He was never in line to be the saviour, Jesus was chosen from the very beginning. It was never in the plan for Lucifer to be saviour. Lucifer was jealous and wanted the glory of God and ended up being cast out.
Jesus Christ was indeed the “firstborn of every creature” (Colossions 1:15) and the “only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father” (John 1:18) So Jesus has a unique relationship to the Father and is and was qualitatively different from Lucifer and any other soul.
