Does the book of Mormon mention anything about Jesus healing or casting out demons?

Question

I've heard that Mormons believe that Jesus came to America. According to the book of Mormon, does it say that while He was in America he healed anyone or cast out demons?

I should have been more specific. I know Mormons believe in the Bible but I want to know if the book of Mormon has accounts of healings and demons being cast out happening while Jesus was in America.

Answer 1

They also follow the Bible. They just have additional "revelation."

Answer 2

LOL, I had exactly the same references as Chris B.

On www.lds.org, you can type in any key word to find this information for yourself in the scriptures.

I found references online, using the word, "healing," and "Jesus."

2 Ne. 25: 13 /
(3 Ne. 25: 2) rise from the dead, with healing in his wings.

Answer 3

Yeppers...

Here are some quotations (please read them, they aren't thay long! :o):

3Nephi 17:
" 9 And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken, all the multitude, with one accord, did go forth with their sick and their afflicted, and their lame, and with their blind, and with their dumb, and with all them that were afflicted in any manner; and he did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto him.
10 And they did all, both they who had been healed and they who were whole, bow down at his feet, and did worship him; and as many as could come for the multitude did kiss his feet, insomuch that they did bathe his feet with their tears.
11 And it came to pass that he commanded that their little children should be brought."

3Nephi 26:
" 15 And it came to pass that after he had ascended into heaven--the second time that he showed himself unto them, and had gone unto the Father, after having healed all their sick, and their lame, and opened the eyes of their blind and unstopped the ears of the deaf, and even had done all manner of cures among them, and raised a man from the dead, and had shown forth his power unto them, and had ascended unto the Father--"

There are a few more, but those are the only ones I could think of immediately! :o)

Answer 4

Yeah, the "Rock Steady" tour, featuring Peter.

Jesus was never in America while He was walking the planet. Mormons have their "own" special book, written by one human man with an agenda...gosh....wonder why he would want to do that. Maybe he wanted to be famous. Or infamous....maybe he just wanted to have all the women he could handle and then some.

"Mormons state that they "believe the Bible to be the word of God, insofar as it is translated correctly." The cop-out is used whenever the doctrines of the LDS church contradict the teachings of the Bible."

Please note that "INSOFAR as it is translated correctly"....that gives the Mormons FREE REIN to say anything they want, by saying the Bible was 'translated incorrectly'.
