It was Orson Pratt who first recorded the concept that Jesus is "our Brother" shortly before the death of Joseph Smith

I reject Mormon doctrine, but the above claim is just absurd. See Romans 8:29, Hebrews 2:11-12, 17.

Sloth, read the article closer and go to my post #59. Do you believe you are materially the same as Jesus and created by a common parent? That you are ontologically the same as Jesus? That is the current mormon definition of the use of "Jesus is our brother" Sloth.

Were you to read the article, you will see it is stating mormon doctrine. It is that context in which Colofornian posted the exerpt.

Rom 8:29 uses 'brethern' in context of those saved. Similar in Hebrews in addition to association by Jesus in the flesh with mankind. Neither passage denotes we were birthed in heaven by some heavenly mother and Jesus is just the oldest sibling of the bunch.
