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.

"For example, we know that Satan (known as Lucifer in the pre-mortal world) was our brother because of clarifying revelation."
Wow. Now, how can an angel be your brother when, as Paul says, we are to judge angels?
Thanks for spelling it out for us. Scary weird stuff, this Mormonism.

We share a commonality with Lucifer/Satan (and all of the other angels) ... in that we are creations of God.
Jesus was not a creation of God.
He was the only begotten Son of God.
