In Isaiah 64:6 KJV

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

What is it about this verse that is so disturbing? Is it that our righteousness (good works) are “filthy rags”?

When I was LDS I was proud of all my “righteousness”. When i finally understood what this verse REALLY meant, it hit me hard since I had been placing my exaltation on what *I* could do.

IMO, there is no part of the Word of God that is not deserving to be highlighted.
