The Truth About Mormonism: How They Believe Jesus and Lucifer Are Brothers
In recent years, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), commonly known as the Mormon Church, has experienced significant growth and increasing influence. Many well-meaning individuals are being drawn into this faith, often under the impression that Mormonism is just another branch of Christianity. This idea is perpetuated by Mormon missionaries and members who assert that they believe in the same “Jesus” as traditional Christians. However, a closer examination of Mormon doctrine reveals significant theological differences that cannot be ignored—especially when it comes to the identity of Jesus Christ and His relationship to Lucifer.
1. The Mormon Concept of Jesus and Lucifer as “Spirit Brothers” One of the most striking and controversial doctrines taught in Mormonism is the belief that Jesus and Lucifer (Satan) are brothers. This teaching stems from the Mormon understanding of the “pre-existence,” where all human beings, including Jesus and Lucifer, were spirit children of Heavenly Father. According to Mormon theology, Heavenly Father had many spirit offspring, and two of His most prominent sons were Jesus and Lucifer. In this narrative, both presented plans for the salvation of humanity, but Jesus’ plan was chosen, and Lucifer rebelled, becoming Satan. The LDS scriptural text, The Pearl of Great Price, describes this in the book of Moses (Moses 4:1-4) and Abraham (Abraham 3:22-28), where Lucifer’s rebellion is recounted. The key issue here is that this teaching reduces Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, to a created being, on the same level as Lucifer prior to his fall. While Mormons may not view Lucifer as Jesus’ “equal,” the notion that they are brothers raises significant theological concerns for Christians.
2. The Jesus of the Bible The Jesus of the Bible, as revealed in the King James Version (KJV), is profoundly different from the Jesus taught in Mormon doctrine. The Bible makes it clear that Jesus is not a created being, but rather the eternal, pre-existent, and co-equal Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity. This is affirmed in passages like John 1:1-3, where it states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” This emphasizes that Jesus is the Creator of all things, not a created being like Lucifer. Furthermore, Colossians 1:16-17 confirms that Jesus is the Creator of both visible and invisible things, including the angelic beings (which would include Lucifer before his fall). It states, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” In contrast to Mormon theology, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is eternally God. He was not born or created as a spirit child but has always existed as God. This is affirmed by Jesus Himself when He declares in Revelation 1:8, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
3. Why This Matters The doctrine that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers fundamentally undermines the Biblical doctrine of Christ’s supremacy, deity, and uniqueness. Jesus is not simply another spirit child among many but is the one and only begotten Son of God (John 3:16). He is God incarnate, fully divine and fully human (John 1:14). To reduce Jesus to the status of a “spirit brother” of Lucifer diminishes His divinity and obscures the true nature of His saving work on the cross.
Joseph Smith: “I Will Be A Second Muhammad” In the heat of the Missouri “Mormon War” of 1838, Joseph Smith made the following claim: “I will be to this generation a second Muhammad, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘the Alcoran [Koran] or the Sword.’ So shall it eventually be with us — ‘Joseph Smith or the Sword!’” It is most interesting that a self-proclaimed “Christian” prophet would liken himself to Muhammad, the founder of Islam. His own comparison invites us to take a closer look as well. And when we do, we find some striking — and troubling — parallels…”
