Mormonism believes that Jesus Christ was chosen to come before we came to Earth through a select event. This event that Mormonism believes in is referred to as the war in Heaven. In this event Go the Father put forth his plans for creating the Earth. God did announce that he would need someone to go down and suffer for all mankind to be able to return with Him again. At this thought you had two beings to offer. You had Jesus Christ and you had another by the title of
Lucifer. Each of them had select requirements though. Jesus was willing to go and let God take credit for everything. Jesus would let everyone choose for themselves if they wanted to go good, or bad. That way you wouldn't be guaranteed to live with God again, but then you're truly tested. I make mention of the "truly tested" deal due to the fact that Lucifer would make it so no one could sin. They wouldn't know right from wrong since you wouldn't be able to do wrong. Lucifer did have another requirement to being the one for coming down and suffering. This is a matter of not God having the credit for everything, but nothing. Instead Lucifer himself would receive the credit for everything that happened. As people can tell Jesus had won. These results were a 2:1 ratio. Basically that 2/3 chose to have Jesus Christ come and 1/3 chose Lucifer to come and die. As a result of his loss Lucifer and his 1/3 were cast out and will not receive bodies for eternal life. Lucifer is now known as Satan, or the Devil.
