David Bercot. Practically all Christians who have had any contact with Evangelical Protestantism know by memory Isa. 64:6: “We are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.” But is this really how God views the righteous acts of His people, or of mankind in general? Or, is this simply another case of a theologian (Martin Luther) taking a verse out of context?
After all, neither Jesus nor any of the New Testament writers ever quoted Isa. 64:6. Bercot presents a Scriptural and historical analysis of this passage that will undoubtedly give you a fuller understanding of this verse.
The second CD (or PDF file) in this set is a computer disc (CD-ROM), playable in any Windows computer, that sets forth the extensive list of Scripture texts that shed light on this whole issue.

Though I knew much of what scripture says on the subject, I honestly didn’t feel fully fully equipped to counter this false belief until I listened to the CD. David references many verses that helped me. One regarded Cornelius whose prayers and acts of generosity obviously had God’s approval, even though he was not yet “saved”.
