[In Mormonism, Christ is a stepping stone, He only saves them from physical death, not spiritual death, the LDS dont believe in sin nature, and instead believe that they must work (by being good Mormons, going through their secret temple rituals, baptism for the dead and the like) and that Jesus is really not much more than a really good example (by being sinless He earned His godhood first). The Mormon phrase is By grace we are saved after all we can do.]
If you don’t mind, I will steal that explanation, for I have been at a loss to explain the problem so concisely.
Steal away. It is God’s words not mine - He gets the glory. I quit trying to earn godhood almost 20 years ago now.
