“Calling him Jesus doesn’t settle it. We disagree about who he is and how he relates to the Father.”

“Paul warns about accepting another Jesus. Why wouldn’t that warning apply to your Church?”
Exchange 3 of 3
“Your Church calls Jesus and Lucifer brothers. Doesn’t that put the Savior on Satan’s level?”
A response you could give
I worship Jesus of Nazareth, whom Latter-day Saints identify as Jehovah, Redeemer, and risen Lord. Our teaching about his divine nature differs from Nicene Christianity. That disagreement deserves a specific argument from the apostolic witness. Our premortal-family teaching distinguishes Christ as the chosen Savior from Lucifer’s rebellion; calling them brothers does not make them equals. Which doctrine would you like to examine together?
