All our righteous acts are as filthy rags.

We can do NOTHING to *clean ourselves up*.

If righteousness could be gained through the Law, Christ died for nothing.

[reaganaut]

exactly. But the LDS don’t get that. They are so determined to ‘pull themselves up by their bootstraps’ and that there is the ‘contract’ they have to do their part for.

Sad, really.

John 6 28. Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" 29. Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Galatians 3 1. You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?
