Dear Gramps, My question has to due with our world being the most wicked out of the countless other worlds that are out there. Are we the most wicked because Satan has the most influence on this world out of all the others? Were Heavenly Father’s children that were...

Gramps, Thanks for your reply. But I am confused about Jesus being God. My understanding is that the Mormons teach that Jesus is God’s actual Son and that Satan is Jesus actual brother?? Is this correct? If this is correct, then how can there be a trinity of God, the...
