Don't go out in public and challenge them to prove their interpretation, don't call them sinners and damn them to Hell. They just have another interpretation than you. Give it a rest, Jesus does not want contention among the people who believe on his name, quite the reverse, in spite of our differences in interpretation of the Bible, all Christians should get along as well as the different factions of say the Buddhists. The last thing we need is to act like the Muslims and declare holy war on each other.

Confounds False Doctrine

Second, the Book of Mormon exposes the enemies of Christ. It confounds false doctrines and lays down contention. (See 2 Ne. 3:12.) It fortifies the humble followers of Christ against the evil designs, strategies, and doctrines of the devil in our day. The type of apostates in the Book of Mormon are similar to the type we have today. God, with his infinite foreknowledge, so molded the Book of Mormon that we might see the error and know how to combat the false educational, political, religious, and philosophical concepts of our time.

The Book of Mormon Is the Word of God

Sounds like a declaration of war to me, from mormon Prophet Ezra Taft Benson.

Let us know when the 60,000 missionaries who are out their performing the tasks of "calling them sinners and damning them to hell." are recalled from the "battlefield".

Mormons are convinced that the only souls, living or dead, who will reach the throne of God MUST be "worthy" in the mormon manner. If THAT isn't damning to hell, I don't know what is.

Does it? So when was the last time Mormons came onto a thread about oh, say Catholicism and started preaching Hellfire and Damnation on people for not reading the Book of Mormon? IMHO, that would be a declaration of war as it were.

As soon as the catholics close all their missions and the protestants stop doing missionary work as well.

If you can't see the difference between missionary work and the specific targeting of a religion to hound, then I can't make you see it either.

I don't think so, but lets say it is, then you add the massive missionary work you just complained about, and the genealogy and temple work to see to it that every man woman and child (not just that live now, but that ever lived) get the opportunity to accept or reject the ordinances needed to save them...

Hey ya gotta admit we aren't just saying "everyone else can go to Hell", we are doing something about it, and trying to save as many as will let us.

BTW before someone gets all hung up on e proxy work done in the temple, every Christan accepts the principle of proxy work for the atonement was a proxy work by Jesus, and what better way to come closer to him than by joining him in the saving work... I guess that's why he commanded us to do so.
