Yes, the mentally handicapped are innocent and cannot be possessed.

Nah, i don't feel like reading it right now. because in reality, it doesn't matter what you think or what i think about this subject... it has no gravity on our salvation...

Oh... i now a good refrence for you, watch the movie The Crucible and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about. superstitious people from this dispensation, that go crazy over some little girl who feels dumb and wants attention who acts posessed. Evil spirits cannot, and will not take over human bodies and control them physically. all they can do is stand behind and persuade.

Oh wait, my bad, I'm thinking of another instance, the man with the palsy was not demon possessed it was another instance in scripture I was thinking of where the young man was thrown to the ground by a demon who shook him...

Let me pull it up...

Yes, they SEEK to posess bodies because they knwo they can never have one, of course they do. but they can never have one, they "kept not thier first estate" Of course there are recorded them "seeking" to posess a body, but all they can do is live vicariously by getting you to do what they want you to.

Then your statement has not authority on the subject as both myself and comprehend has provided several excellent references on the fact that one can be possessed and that by the power of the holy priesthood a demon can be expelled. Why you choose not to read it and actually see what the prophets have said is beyond me.

On the contrary, it is very important. If we allow ourselves to become possessed then there is a very large problem and if we allow it to go on, then I believe it has a great effect on our salvation. Think about it, if you become possessed and you start breaking all the covenants that you have made, what happens to your salvation? It have much more gravity on our salvation then you can grasp.

The Crucible is a very good book meant to parallel the McCarthy era of Communist hunters during the 1950's. Arthur Miller was writing about a current situation and relating it to one that has happened in the past. If you expect me to read what you write, then I expect you to take a look at the prophet's statements on the matter.

You missed a part, or choose to selectively ignore it.

Such can be evicted means that there can be a removal of that possession. It shows that they can be there in the first place. You are making yourself look foolish by continuing to ignore what the scripture and the prophet and apostles have stated.

You still have not come up with a prophetical/apostolic statement that it was just chemical imbalance and/or seizures. If you could present that statement, I'm sure this discussion could be over in a matter of posts.

This is the one I was thinking of...

Mark 9

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
