Oh, so that's what you call those Mormon missionary door-to-door convos about the universal “apostasy” and restoration -- ”respect”, eh?
So that's what you call the Pearl of Great Price LDS “scriptural” description about other sects -- "respect":
Joseph Smith, Verses 18-20:
18 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...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.
19 I was answered 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."
20 He again forbade me to join with ANY of them...
Please note the sweeping “absolutes” claimed by Smith with the words of “None…All…All…All…Any” (Anybody see any caveats issued there? I don’t)
With just a few paragraphs, Smith tried to:
...reduce EVERY creed of Christendom to ashes...
...slander the character of EVERY professing believer to that of a "corrupt" status;
...place a large "boycott" sign on every non-Mormon church: you "MUST... [NOT] JOIN ANY!
(1) Wanna explain how Smith had such broad-sweeping powers of moral judgmentalism that he could label EVERY Christian “professor” – “professor” as in one who professes beliefs not an academic “professor” – as being absolutely “corrupt?”
(2) Wanna explain how Smith could openly bash all Christian sects and simultaneously attempt to dig a spiritual graveyard for not only every 19th century Christian church, but the ones that had been around for the previous 15- to perhaps 19 centuries?
(a) Mormon founder: What’s amazing to me, then, is after Smith has taken the initiative to describe the entirety of Christianity for 14 to 15 to 18 centuries in such a manner, who is it in Mormon eyes that is deemed as the villainized “anti?” Supposedly, to hear Smith tell it, this vision occurred in 1820…so it can’t be claimed by Mormons that Smith was simply responding to the so-called 1830s “persecution” of Mormons.
(b) Second-generation Mormons: Since it was an entirely later full generation of Mormons who decided to place this "vision" as LDS canonized “Scripture,” it can’t be said that this was just Smith’s mere “opinion.”
(c ) Contemporary Mormons: Since contemporary Mormons tithe on this language to be spread world-wide in millions of imprinted messages (in translated Books of Mormon; in LDS curricula; in LDS books & articles, etc.)…the actual open dissing and spiritual destruction continues.
