In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. (Jn 1:1-2) No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God (Jn 1:18a).

Lucifer is a created being. Jesus is not.

That’s why Mormons are not considered Christians or to be it more generously Non-Nicene Christians.

Correct. Jesus is Divine, uncreated. Lucifer was a created being.

Mormonism is incompatible with the true test - the Nicene Creed - and with the word of God, too.

Many breakaway LDS sect mormons don't even know that FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith "retranslated" the entire bible. Even though it took him over 2 1/2 years, and Smith claimed god(s) had told him to do it, FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Brigham Young declared it a fraud after Smith's death and the LDS sect broke away from true mormonism when they discarded it. The breakaway LDS sect uses the KJV to this day, which Smith claimed god(s) told him not to use because it was corrupt.

In the JST Bible Smith made big changes to the verses you just listed. Allow me to expose them.

John 1:1-2 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.

JST version John 1:1-2
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.

John 1:18 KJV
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God.

John 1:18 JST
18 For the law was after a carnal commandment, to the administration of death; but the gospel was after the power of an endless life, through Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father.

Looks like Smith completed deleted verse 18.

LDS sect mormons EITHER can disavow Smith as a prophet OR OWN his corrupt translation of the bible, and the deserve PRECISELY ZERO wiggle room on this from TRUE CHRISTIANS !
