“The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on this Earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.”BackBlast wrote: ↑December 14th, 2017, 9:48 pm So.... scriptural mention of devils and possession is really a medical issue? And such narratives are misguided and they are really healing instead of dealing with unseen spiritual beings? You clearly have a very very different view of scriptural accounts than I do, and I hesitate to continue this discussion with such a difference.
The BoM has no references or example of a person being possessed or casting out devils or evil spirits, not a doctrine taught in the church or general conference. Yes the BoM does mention it as something that can occur but not one explanation or example . - it is not a doctrine we need to worry about.
Job was never possessed by an evil spirit he just received afflictions of the flesh and his children died as part of the temptation that he had to endure.
If Satan and his followers could possess people and cause medical issues why do they not posses all of the human race and and give everyone terminal cancer and make the entire plan of salvation null and void. It is clearly taught in the temple enmity is placed and they cant posses the bodies of mankind.
