Mormon Paranormal Belief
Mormon Paranormal Belief is based on the Christian bible where it is stated, that is forbidden that believers attempt contact with malevolent spirits that pretend to be spirits of the dead, as stated in Deuteronomy 18:11 and that the dead should not have contact with the living as stated in Luke 16:19-31. Mormon paranormal belief is this contact results in contact with spirits that are not of the dead but malevolent spirits which are deceitful and pretending to be such and as such are commanded by Satan and are named as demons, evil spirits and unclean spirits. Mormon paranormal belief is these spirits are familiar with the recent dead and is the reason why they have knowledge with intimate name details, places, situations and circumstances. In the bible this is referred to as a familiar spirit, Isaiah 29:4. It is believed by Christians that the plan of demon spirits to become interested in all that they do especially the wonders they seem to b e able to perform and thus affect people and move them away from their relationship with God. Often those interested in the paranormal including ghosts and end up experimenting with other activities such as Ouija boards, tarot cards, astrology, fortune telling etc. The search for spirituality often results in delving deeper into the occult which results in an ever increasing downward slope into the occult. As stated in the bible it is believed that Satan will have then "blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Cor. 4:4). Christians believe in God and in the Devil and believe that God is stronger than the Devil. Christians believe in the rite of exorcism to rid those possessed by evil spirits of said evil spirits This rite must be performed by an ordained priest who is specially trained for this purpose. God created everything that is perfect, and anything that Satan created is not perfect. It is quite clear then that sin itself would have been created by Satan, and not God, it is also then quite clear that God can do anything-God is perfection. God is love. Satan is not. The Mormon Church was founded by Joseph Smith who adherents consider a prophet. After the founding of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who wrote thirteen Articles of Faith which are the basic beliefs of the Church. Mormon basic beliefs, help to better understand how a foundation both in ancient scriptures and latter-day revelation makes Mormonism what it is today. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is founded on the same principles and doctrines of the Church that Jesus Christ Himself set up when He lived on the Earth. It is believed that after the death of the Apostles, the authority to lead the Church was lost, and many important doctrines were changed. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often called the Mormon Church, is Jesus Christ’s Church again established upon the earth. This restoration began through the Prophet Joseph Smith, and revelation continues today. Religious Paranormal Belief
