Nice strawman and not the point of the post I made. I have not stated that Mormons believe they will enter into God’s presence on the strength of their filthy rags. I have stated that Mormonism teaches Mormons are to earn God’s Grace through their ‘righteous works’ in life so that in the end they may earn God’s Grace. THAT IS WAHT MORMONISM TEACHES, didn’t you know?

We are commmanded to live lives of righteousness.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:20 “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

I believe that righteousness grows out of faith and that we show our faith by our works, and that faith without works is dead, being alone.

None in this life is going to live a flawless life, and God knows and understands that. He has provided a Savior to atone for our sins and weakness and we are wholly dependent upon Jesus Christ to cleanse us from all sin.

In the end, God judges us according to his perfect knowledge, love, wisdom, mercy and justice — and he alone knows who will enter into the Kingdom of God.
