And yet you can find NONE from the Church attacking another faith. They preach the truth of the Restored Gospel. They do not preach against any other faith. They don't have to.

DL, you've yet to explain how this statement of yours -- 100% contradicted by the LDS "Scripture" Zakeet cited in post #131 (along with other LDS general authority slams against historic & contemporary Christianity and Christians & non-Mormon churches)-- can possibly stand up to any measure of truth.

The "Restored gospel" reference of yours includes the "restored gospel" doctrine of a supposed "universal" apostasy. Marion G. Romney, the one-time head of the LDS missionary enterprise, said that this teaching (universal apostasy & restoration) was one of the top three teachings that LDS missionaries needed to proclaim.

Zakeet cited this in the LDS "Scriptures" -- showing quite clearly that the LDS church indeed attacks and preaches against the historic Christian faith:

My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong) – and which I should join. … I was answered by God that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: "they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof." He again forbade me to join with any of them. (Pearl of Great Price, Prophet Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith History 1:18-20)

I have to hand it to DL, he's a pro. Must have been missionary of the year in his prime...
