Mormons often complain that they are being attacked when Christians criticize and challenge their beliefs and scriptures. They love playing the victim card. Having been rejected by the world as a very strange, unBiblical cult group, their persecution complex has been well-honed over the last two centuries.
However, ironically, Mormons have been criticizing Christians for centuries! Here it is right in their Book of Mormon: Whatever religion or church is not LDS is said to be an abomination, a whore! Joseph Smith even said they are churches of the Devil!
“And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.” (1 Nephi 14꞉10)
And these attacks are echoed further in one of Joseph Smith’s First Vision accounts (1838). He recorded 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…” and more!
In addition, this article contains a LONG list of quotes by Mormon “prophets” and leaders attacking Christianity:
So, the Mormon complaint against Christians attacking them is thoroughly ridiculous and hypocritical.
We Christians are rightfully pushing back against the lies Mormons propagate. We are defending the faith and exposing false teachers, false prophets and false doctrines–just as God told us to do. But Mormons still whine and try to turn the tables, blame-shifting what they consider unacceptable behavior onto us.
