Question
I just bought two baby bunnies at the pet store they were together and they are about 6-8 weeks old. they get along fine we have a large cage that they are in. My question--- is it always true that two male rabbits can not live together in the same cage my bunnies are two males and we will be getting them neutered.

Answer
If they are raised together from babies, has yours seem to be, then yes, it is highly likely that they can live together.  If they can make it through their sexual maturity without fighting each other, and do ok together after the neuter, then you will be ok.  Sometimes you have to separate them at that time, but after the neuter you can try to put them back together.

I've known many male-male pairs, and only one of the pairs wasn't able to get back together after the neuter.
