Glenn to Blainer - Here's what I hear you saying. You are saying no, Satan is not the half brother of Jesus.DAVEH: Forgive me for interrupting again, Brother Glenn.....but why do you not understand simple concepts? Neither Blaine nor I have either said that "Satan is the half brother". That is a phrase you have repeatedly used. Where did you get it? Surely not from us or LDS theology. Now slowly read what Blaine explained below and try to understand what he is telling you. That is what we believe. Blaine is not trying to "spin" anything. He is explaining our beliefs as simply as he can so that you can logically understand the concept of the creation of our spirits.
Then you turn around and say, Satan is the half brother of Jesus with Mormon spin. I do not respect spin.DAVEH: You don't have to believe our beliefs, or even "respect" them, Glenn. But that is the way we believe. When you interject your spin (viz., "Satan is the half brother of Jesus") into the discussion, then we feel compelled to explain our beliefs so that you won't have a valid reason to continue perpetrating the same misunderstanding.
When I give you "no spin" you call it bias.DAVEH: We all have our biases. It seems though that Blaine and I are willing to recognize and admit ours.
--Blainer) I have never heard anything about Satan and Jesus being
half-brothers.
What I have heard about is that we are all spirit brothers and sisters,
offspring of God. If Satan is a spirit, he must therefore logically be a
spirit offspring of the Father of all spirits, and is not only Jesus'
spirit-brother, but YOURS as well. Too bad Lucifer (his spirit name)
envied God's throne, rebelled against God, and tried to overthrow him,
huh? He might have ended up being a prophet in the Old testament, or
even better, a Prophet/President of the LDS Church, (:>) assuming of
course he would have taken on a body of flesh and blood.
But he was denied the privilege of tabernacling in the flesh, because
he made war in heaven, and actually overcame one-third of the hosts of
heaven. The other two-thirds are you and I and all others who were
allowed to take on mortal bodies. See Isaiah 14:12-17
"How art thou fallen from HEAVEN, O Lucifer, son of the morning? . . .
" etc.
