The Dangerous Lie Behind Mormonism’s "Brotherhood" of Jesus and Lucifer

In recent years, many have been drawn in by the friendly, family-oriented appeal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But beneath the polished image and wholesome branding lies a theology that strikes at the very heart of biblical truth—starting with the outrageous claim that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are spirit brothers.

This isn’t a fringe belief. It’s fundamental LDS doctrine: that God the Father created both Jesus and Lucifer as His spirit children in a premortal realm. Jesus chose obedience and became the Savior; Lucifer rebelled and became Satan. On the surface, this may sound like a dramatic morality tale of agency and consequence. But in reality, it’s a theological train wreck—and a direct assault on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us plainly that Jesus is not a created being. He is eternal. “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1, NLT). He didn’t become God—He is God. Co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Creator of all things, including angels. And yes, Lucifer is just that: a fallen angel. A creature. A rebel who was cast out of heaven—not the spirit sibling of Christ.

Equating Jesus with Satan in any familial sense is not just mistaken—it’s blasphemy. It drags down the holy Son of God to the level of a created enemy. It confuses the roles of Creator and creature, Savior and deceiver. It’s theological sleight of hand that undermines the uniqueness and majesty of Christ.

Even more troubling is the LDS idea that Jesus “attained godhood” by obedience and faithfulness, and that we can do the same. This, too, is a recycled lie from the Garden of Eden—“You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). It's not just unbiblical; it’s deadly. God says in Isaiah 45:5, “I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.” There is one God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That’s it. No one else will ever qualify.

The LDS framework twists the biblical doctrine of adoption. While Christians believe that those who receive Christ are adopted into God’s family (John 1:12), Mormonism teaches that all people are already literal spirit children of God—co-eternal intelligences placed into spiritual bodies. That’s not adoption—that’s mythology. The “brotherhood of all” may sound inclusive, but it quietly strips Jesus of His divinity and redefines our relationship to God in deeply unscriptural terms.

In the end, this isn’t about nitpicking theology. This is about which Jesus you trust. Because only the real Jesus can save you. The Jesus who is God—not the one who supposedly became God. The Jesus who created Lucifer—not the one who grew up next to him. The Jesus who saves by grace—not the one who shows you how to become your own god.

So let’s be clear: the Mormon Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. The Mormon gospel is not the gospel of salvation by grace through faith. And the idea that Christ and Satan are brothers is not just wrong—it’s heresy.

Christian readers: don’t be fooled by the language of love, family, and light. Test all things. Cling to Scripture. And when someone presents a “Jesus” that doesn’t match the Bible, have the courage to say what it is: a false Christ.

Do Christians and Mormons Worship the Same Jesus?

You’ve probably heard people say, “Mormons are Christians, so they worship the same Jesus.” But if you actually look at what Mormonism teaches, that’s just not true. Real Christianity is all about the Trinity—one God in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. Jesus isn’t just some regular guy who became God later. Nope. He’s fully God and fully human, eternal, and never changes. The Bible says Jesus was there “in the beginning” and “the Word was God” (John 1:1), and that “the Word became flesh and made his home among us” (John 1:14). Everything was made through Him (Colossians 1:16). He’s the one and only Savior (Acts 4:12). But Mormonism? They say Jesus was once just a man who got bumped up to godhood. Plus, they see God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as three separate gods. That’s way different from the Bible’s clear “God is one” message (Deuteronomy 6:4). Why does this even matter? Because if Jesus isn’t really God, then He can’t save us. The Bible says Jesus is...

Mormonism’s Mirror: The Double Standard No One Talks About

Within Mormonism, a striking double standard is evident: while the movement criticizes Christianity for having tens of thousands of denominations, it overlooks the fact that Mormonism itself has splintered into numerous factions, each claiming exclusive authority from Joseph Smith. From the mainstream LDS Church to the Community of Christ, Fundamentalist LDS groups, and other smaller sects, the pattern is clear—authority is claimed, fractured, and disputed. This raises a simple question: if Mormonism’s critique of Christianity’s diversity is valid, shouldn’t it apply equally to the movement itself? For a faith that claims to restore the “true church of Jesus Christ,” how can internal divisions be reconciled with the idea of divine guidance and unity? The inconsistency is glaring. While Mormon leaders emphasize obedience to the chain of authority, they ignore the historical fact that these very claims have led to dozens of competing organizations, each asserting their version of Smith’s...

Why Mormonism's "Restoration" Is a Denial of Biblical Christianity

It’s common to hear members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) say they’re Christians just like anyone else who follows Jesus. They believe in His atonement, His resurrection, His teachings. And they’re sincere in saying so. But sincerity isn’t the same thing as truth. When you really dig into what Mormonism teaches—especially about who God is, what salvation means, and the authority of Scripture—it becomes clear that this religion, while borrowing Christian language, ultimately denies the core of biblical Christianity. According to official LDS doctrine, all of Christianity fell into total apostasy after the death of the original apostles. That’s right—every church, every tradition, every believer was supposedly misled for nearly two thousand years until Joseph Smith restored the “true church” in 1830. That claim isn’t just historically implausible—it’s theologically offensive. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 16:18 (NLT), “I will build my church, and all the powers...
