What adjective would be suitable here to describe this particular difference between two doctrinal stances?
… Well, as the matter of fact, neither "Mormons" nor "Jehovah's
witnesses" are Christians even though both of them claim that they are
following Jesus Christ's footsteps. The reason is simple: both of
these two groups refuse (and teach that it is wrong) to pray directly to
Jesus Christ by calling on His name. They only pray to the heavenly
Father and add in the end of their prayers "In the name of Your Son
Jesus Christ we pray", which is a far cry from praying to Jesus Christ
directly. Read the book of Acts, chapter nine – early Christians were being
martyred for their practice of calling on the name "Jesus", which is praying
directly to Him. Having said that, however, I still want to note that Mormons
believe that many people who are not members of their group will still
be saved in the eternity future, albeit in the "lower kingdom", while
Jehovah's witnesses believe that only the members of their group will
be saved and all others will go into eternal perdition. So, as you can
see, Mormon's belief is less ______
Also, what adjective would be suitable if the last sentence in the quote went this way:
So, as you can see, Mormon's belief is more ______
Best Answer
The Mormon belief that non-Mormons can be saved I would call more liberal than that of the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is because the Mormon belief gives people more freedom to choose how to be saved, in other word they have more liberty.
You could call the Mormon belief less intolerant than the JW belief, because they tolerate other forms of worship, whereas JW see theirs as the one true way, as it were.
An equally good way of describing the JW belief is more proscriptive than that of the Mormons, since the JW force you to be a certain way if you want to be saved.
