Luke 18:9-14 He also told this para..

The Pharisees did their works for the purpose of being seen of men. They weren't humble. Which is what Paul was teaching. Your works have to be done with the right attitude to be acceptable to God.

James 2:
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

If you don't have the right works, you have no faith. How much clearer does it need to be? This makes Matt 25 totally clear. Those that had the right works were judged to have sufficient faith and were saved. Those that didn't were sent to everlasting torment.

Matt 5
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The Pharisees did their works for their own glory. But the commandment is still to do the works of God. And with the right attitude of humility, seeking after the kingdom of God.

Religion is worthless in knowing God. All it does it provide an opportunity for the flesh to brag about itself.

According to Jesus it's a way to glorify our Father in Heaven.

Jesus was the great example of humanity. He did everything we are supposed to do in life in order to gain salvation. In other words, He showed us the way. He said go and do likewise. Which one of us is following Jesus' example?

You Mormons are at leas5t honest enough to openly exhibit you are works based, trying to ‘gain’ (as in earn) salvation. Catholics can’t even get to THAT point! And the Roodians are even more assertive of works to gain ...
