Here are the questions.
1.Is Jesus and Lucifer/Satan brothers and if so, can you explain?
Christ is son of God
So are all of us
Satan is one of God’s children
He became Lucifer 
He rejected Gods plan
Pre existence as a spirit, that’s when Lucifer made the decision
Premortal existance
We wanted to become like God in this existance
Jesus was head of plan, Satan disagreed and caused a split



2."We believe in a God who is Himself progressive, whose majesty is intelligence; whose perfection consists in eternal advancement -- a Being who has attained His exalted state by a path which now His children are permitted to follow, whose glory it is their heritage to share. In spite of the opposition of the sects, in the face of direct charges of blasphemy, the Church proclaims the eternal truth: 'As man is, God once was; as God is, man may be.'" (LDS Apostle James E. Talmage, Articles of Faith, Ch.24, p.430 - p.431, LDS Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM) 
" 'It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God,' the inspired word continues, 'and to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did.' The Father is a glorified, perfected, resurrected, exalted man who worked out his salvation by obedience to the same laws he has given to us so that we may do the same." (LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, p.64, LDS Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM) 

Based off of this, can I become a God like Jehovah?
Obedient to God, continue to be 
You can inherit all that God has
Be perfect like God,
Only attainable through Jesus Christ 
We can’t be his equal.
Not for sure if The Father has a Father
  3. If I pray and ask God to show me whether or not the book of Mormon is true, how can I know that it is God confirming it is true, in my heart, and not the Devil?
Intro to BoM and promise from prophet 
Nehi left Jerusalem and built a boat, went to promise land, America. 
Ultimately answer is from Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:22. 
Only good feelings come from God
Seek with a sincere heart
Moroni 10:3-5 
People have had an audible voice 
Through the feelings Weight has he knew it was true
4.For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.
“Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.”

- Book of Mormon, 1830 edition, p. 111, verses 23-24
“Verily, thus saith the Lord... you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord justified my servants... David and Solomon... as touching the principle and doctrine of-having many wives and concubines – David's wives and concubines were given unto him of me...”
- Doctrine and Covenants, Section 132, verses 1, 39
“... if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouses the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then he is justified.”
- Doctrine and Covenants, Section 132, verse 61
The only men who become Gods, even the sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy" (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 11:269.)
So, is polygamy an abomination or is it a justified means to be God or the son of God?
No one in LDS does this
Break off sects still do 
Twelve tribes of Israel cause by polygamy 

Joe said there will never be a prophet that leads anyone astray

5.Isaiah 44:6 (KJV) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God.

Isaiah 44:8 (KJV) Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any].

Isaiah 43:10 (KJV) Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

According to these verses, there is no other God beside the LORD and there were none formed before God and neither shall there be after Him. How cab you reconcile this with LDS teaching?
