to be fair, isn’t that what ALL missionaries of EVERY faith do? I doubt you’d be a great evangelist if you stood up on a stump and said “My way is a great way to get into heaven, but that guy over there? His is pretty good too, and that other church down the street? They’ve got some great ideas too, totally different from my own of course, but hey, whatever works best for you...”
You're responding to Greyfoxx's line: ...denigrate ALL non-mormon beliefs by claiming that theirs is the "one TRUE church" and the only way to salvation...
Allow me to make a few distinctions:
#1: Most Christian denominations don't denigrate most teachings of other denominations...yes, there's always some teachings that are targeted...but we don't do what Mormons do: Label 100% of Christian creeds as an "abomination" to God.
NO matter what denominations we are talking about, they all agree on the historic Christian creeds...and actually, even the Apostles Creed really doesn't disagree with Mormon doctrine...yet what did the entities that appeared to Joseph Smith call it and EVERY OTHER Christian creed? (Answer: An "abomination.")
I tell you what...if two unnamed entities appeared to you or me (like they did Joseph Smith)...and labeled 100% of Christian creeds as an "abomination," we could readily guess who these entities represented.
#2: Even when Christian missionaries have perhaps spoken negatively of other beliefs outside of their church body, more often than not, these are either...
...(a) their own opinions
-- or, they can cite specific Biblical "scripture" which counters those beliefs.
The opinions may not go further than the person speaking; and if they are citing the Bible, it's the Bible that may critique a given belief...not the missionary himself/herself.
Compare that to Lds: Mormons have used the Lds "first vision" account for 175 years to denigrate all Christians. This isn't an opinion. In the mid-1870s, Mormons decided to call that "first vision" Mormon "scripture." Hence, this isn't a mere "opinion" -- it's supposedly the Mormon gods' "revelation"...and that includes the Mormon accusation that ALL Christian professing believers are "corrupt"...[see Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith - History...verses 18-19]
And these denigrations directly contradict the Bible.
For example, Lds say the Christian church totally apostatized. Yet the apostle Paul said that God would receive glory in Christ THRU the church forever & ever! That was a prophesy by Paul -- Ephesians 3:21. How can BOTH be true? Mormons either have to label the apostle Paul a liar, or claim their general authorities who have labeled all us Christians "apostates" a liar. (Guess who they choose? Guess which "scripture" of theirs get cast on the lowest rung? -- The Bible)
