See my post 129. Only Christ is perfect. Only Christ can criticize and evangelize in that way.
The rest of us should be humble enough to recognize our own sinfulness and imperfection and endeavor to evangelize through eloquence and example.
We can point out the flaws we see in the beliefs of others without calling them names, damning them, or ridiculing them, can’t we? As a Catholic, I have the strength of my convictions and enough faith to talk with people of other faiths without resorting to name calling and ridicule.
When young Mormon missionaries come to my door, I thank them for their zeal and sacrifice and let them know I am a very happy Catholic. I have a few passages prepared to hand them, if they would like to take them. I look at theirs respectfully. Recognizing the dignity of every human being is the key to evangelism, in my opinion.

Then you will enjoy this that the mormons say of the Catholics...
“I was answered that I must join none of them (Christian churches), for they were all wrong…their creeds were an abomination in [God’s] sight; that those professors were all corrupt” (Joseph Smith—History 1:19).
“The Roman Catholic, Greek, and Protestant church, is the great corrupt, ecclesiastical power, represented by great Babylon” (Orson Pratt, Writings of an Apostle, Orson Pratt, n. 6, 84).
[Under the heading, “Church of the Devil,” Apostle Bruce R. McConkie lists:] “The Roman Catholic Church specifically—singled out, set apart, described, and designated as being ‘most abominable above all other churches’ (I Ne. 13:5)” (Mormon Doctrine, 1958, 129).
Recognizing the dignity of every human being is the key to evangelism, in my opinion.

Bible scripture for that please...
I believe that yours is the proper perspective. However, as a Catholic, I’m sure you realize that there are many posters on FR who will deny your own Christianity. The vein of anti-Catholic bigotry is an unfortunate fact about this site.

Oh that’s right you tried to find one...
Ley me help you...
There are none...
Those scriptures you quoted mean only what they say and nothing else...
All the twisting in the world cannot make the Word of God line up with cute watered down worldly phrases...
