Dead Relatives Provide Protection

General Conference, ‘The Joy of Redeeming the Dead’, Oct 2012; “Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. […] I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life.”  — Richard G. Scott

Galatians 5:22-24; “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”

Ephesians 6:10-12; “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

All Christians know about the fruit of the Spirit. We know that if we’re experiencing spiritual warfare we need to get into His word, study and pray. We need to surround ourselves with other Christians who know His word and can provide insight as to what God says about any situation. 

Seeking comfort by performing works for the dead in a temple not designed after the specifications of what God ordained is inviting demonic influences into your life! 

1.It’s necromancy.

2.It’s rejecting what God did when Jesus was crucified.

The Bible tells us to put on the armor of God to be protected from the evil one so why would our works do that if the Bible says otherwise? 

Furthermore, why isn’t the Church telling members the same thing Paul told early believers? Why are they touting a completely different system with no mention of the Bible at all?
