Being critical of the teachings of other faiths

[_why me]

I have lived with Mormons and worked with Mormons who were hellbent on telling me my religion was false. This was back in the 1980s and early 90s.

I believe things may have changed a bit since, yet I'm not sure?

One man gave me a book (A Marvelous Work and a Wonder) and in it he wrote,

Richard, The fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ encompasses many things. There was a total apostacy. There was also a definite restoration...

His mission in life was to convert me to Mormonism by proving to me my faith was wrong.

This was one of the major reasons I looked into Mormonism. And, it is one of the reasons I write about it...

I think I treat the subject fairly. I do not see a problem sharing what I have learned.

There is nothing wrong in saying that another faith is wrong. Protestants and catholics have been doing this for centuries. And certainly, the old catholic church considered the muslim faith wrong, likewise the Jewish faith. Nothing new there.

But with Mormons, people tend to get their back side up. It is only natural that a restorationist church with such a early history as the LDS church to do so. However, the bigger question remains: Would God be disappointed in the christian faith at the time of the LDS restoration? Would there be things in those faiths that would be considered an abomination by god?

Since Mormons believe in the new restoration, they would see faults in other faiths. But I don't see them openly attacking any particular faith as you may do. See the difference?

Really? okay. Let me freshen it up for you. LDS claim to worship Christ is based on the historical Christ. In that, we're the same. But the God-Christ is significantly different and that violates a core Christian belief. Fresh enough?

No, it is not fair enough. What is amazing is just how you are following the dictates of men since it was men who defined who is a christian, if one looks at the distant past.

Nothing is violating anything. I didn't realize that christian beliefs are set in such stone? So, all christian groups must tow the line to be considered christian?

[_why me]

Only sometimes, Stak. Many protestant denominations and people do not recognize Catholicism as Christian. I know James White doesn't, and neither does Jack Chick.

Not only that but if we go back into US history we see protestants attacking catholics and catholic churches in America because of the bad blood between them that originated in Europe.

Protestant mobs were attacking catholicism as they were attacking Mormonism the difference being the Mormons were an easier target since they built communities in the frontier.

[_why me]

Some. But the number is very, very small in my experience. In fact, I don't know ANY.

Maybe in this day and age. But go back in time and we will discover bloodshed and hate between the two groups:
