Isaiah 64:
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
***
But the Redeemer has come and has shown the way for those who repent and walk in the ways of the Lord.
Alma 7
21 And he doth not dwell in unholy temples; neither can filthiness or anything which is unclean be received into the kingdom of God; therefore I say unto you the time shall come, yea, and it shall be at the last day, that he who is filthy shall remain in his filthiness.
22 And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
23 And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
24 And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
25 And may the Lord bless you, and keep your garments spotless, that ye may at last be brought to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the holy prophets who have been ever since the world began, having your garments spotless even as their garments are spotless, in the kingdom of heaven to go no more out.
26 And now my beloved brethren, I have spoken these words unto you according to the Spirit which testifieth in me; and my soul doth exceedingly rejoice, because of the exceeding diligence and heed which ye have given unto my word.
27 And now, may the peace of God rest upon you, and upon your houses and lands, and upon your flocks and herds, and all that you possess, your women and your children, according to your faith and good works, from this time forth and forever. And thus I have spoken. Amen.
Is Mormonism Christian?
Nope...
Christians read and heed and quote nothing but Bible scriptures..
Mormons dont use Bible scriptures exclusively, and when they do, they usually dont know what the scripture really means...
Mormons quote dumb made up stuff that Joey Smith left them...like alma from the bom, the pearl of great price, the book of abraham, doctrines and covenants, the word of wisdom et nauseum...
none of it related to the Jesus of the bible...
Thats why the book of mormon is also known as a testament of another jesus...
Works won’t “cleanse” your temple (soul), or make you right with God. Only the Blood of Jesus Christ, spilt on the Cross (not the garden) will cleanse you.
You see, Resty, God is really into that “blood thing”. Animal sacrifice, rivers of blood, used menstrual cloths, and the FINAL sacrifice, the bloody death of His only Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
And I only believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God...so far as it is plagiarized correctly.
