Satan was a created being - an angel. He rebelled against God and he and 1/3 of the angels who rebelled were cast down to earth.

Jesus was God in the flesh - born of a virgin mother and conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Satan isn’t related to us - he was a created being - an angel whose name was Lucifer. We are born of flesh.

Like I said - you are sincere in what you believe, but sincerely wrong in many areas. You claim that we demonize your theology, while in fact, you do the same regarding Christianity.

One of the main differences between our beliefs, is the LDS doctrine of a pre-existence where all mankind existed as spiritual creations or angles of God prior to being born into mortailty.

This doctrine has clear underpinnings in the Bible and was widely taught in early Christian Churches before Roman Emperors at the time of Constantine were awarded the ultimate authority of Christian Doctrine.

Please excuse me for believing in the same doctrine as 2nd Century Oridgen and other early Christian Theologians, which didn’t survive the Roman Emperor edits.

By thier and my interpretation, Satan is a errant spiritual brother to all of Gods children.

To a certain degree this is secondary to our belief, worship and faith in the God the Father and in the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, the Savior.

One of the main differences between our belief system is the LDS belief that all of man are spiritual creations of God the Father that existed in a premortal existance as angels awaiting birth in mortality.

This doctrine has strong underpinnings in both the Old and New Testament and was taught by many “Main Stream” Christians Theologians prior to the 4th Century.

This doctrine requires that all people born into mortality and all of the angels who followed Satan were spiritual brothers and sisters, which would include me, you, Satan, and yes even Jesus Christ.

Sorry you don’t like this doctrine, it was taught by 2nd Century Oridgen, and unfortuantely didn’t survive the Roman Emperor edits of Christian Doctrine that regularly occurred after Constantine in the 4th Century.

However, this is secondary, a person may obtain salvation being totally ignorant about of this principle.

The main focus is repentance, faith, and continued fealty to God the Father, through, our Savior, Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God.
