So, resty that appears to be posted with a tone of disdain ("a holy roller exorcism to call out the demons!") and taken as an insult!
So why is there an article on "Casting out Satan" at a mormon website dedicated to "temple study"?
Leave it to the mormon church to claim a "superior" way to "cast out demons"...from
"Casting out Satan at Temple Study.com
In Christianity, Exorcisms are performed using the power of Christ or In the name of Jesus. . . .
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on Exorcism: Jesus cast out demons as a sign of his Messiahship and empowered his disciples to do the same.
The Jewish Encyclopedia article on Jesus stated that Jesus was devoted especially to casting out demons and also believed that he passed this on to his followers, however he was superior to them in the Exorcisms.
One interesting non-Christian associated example of a similar pattern that Ive written about before comes from a Buddhist legend, and incorporates the use of a hand gesture called the Abhaya mudra, which is essentially a raised right hand:
Devadatta, a cousin of the Buddha, through jealousy caused a schism to be caused among the disciples of Buddha. As Devadatta's pride increased, he attempted to murder the Buddha. One of his schemes involved loosing a rampaging elephant into the Buddha's path. But as the elephant approached him, Buddha displayed the Abhaya mudra, which immediately calmed the animal.2
I believe these things have descended from teachings given to Adam and Eve, which have spread into many cultures and traditions throughout the world, and that the Latter-day Saints today are taught the true form of casting out devils in the House of the Lord, as well as having the priesthood authority from God to do so.
I don’t care if it is an insult it is also an insult to the teachings of the Lord...
The Lord was no holy roller nor needed to be any more than a
man needed to bray like a donkey to preach or pray!
Talk about being possessed of unknown spirits
Luke 4:
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
BTW Jesus was refering to His Father in Heaven!
