As Christians, we believe we are washed clean through the blood of Jesus and the atonement.

I guess that’s not true in Mormonism. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I guess your brand of Christian you don't need to be baptized and repent, and if the dirt of the world rubs off on you, you feel no need to clean it!

The LDS are always being accused in our good works which the Lord expects us to do

John 21:
15 ¶ So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

The Book of Mormon gives us a deeper appreciattion and understanding of the atonement and how we should conduct our life.

Mosiah 3:
19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.

Alma 7:
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.

Alma 13:
28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering;

I love the way Solomon Spalding wrote with the voice of the King James Bible. Writing a novel in such a voice is hard to do, but Solomon had the preacher lifetime behind him in order to have the language flow so beautifully.

Incidentally, Resty, which Greek 'love' was Jesus using in His last repeat of the question to Peter?
