Are there sins for which the Blood of Jesus is insufficient?

The silence is deafening.

Jesus Christ is my personal Savior and I confess Him as such with a sincere and humble heart. He has atoned for my sins. That is what I am taught in my Church and how I try to live. That should be enough for you.

I never intend to find out or try to determine as to whether the sin against the Holy Ghost cannot be, or will not be atoned. I suspect God in Heaven and His Son will handle all such issues, questions and inquiries and I trust in their all inclusive wisdom and knowledge to do so.

As to any other differences that you are apt or desirous to raise (and clearly, from the tone of the thread I am inclined to believe that this appears to be the intent), I will refer you back to the opening paragraph of my response. That is the all critical thing .

Fregards.

Please take me off of your anti-Mormon ping list.

The title of your thread: Brigham Young on the Insufficiency of the Blood of Christ

Your #1: Are there sins for which the Blood of Jesus is insufficient?

"Insufficient" is your word, and your strawman. You should ask the moderator to change the title to a truthful one.

D&C 29:17 And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.

The Scriptures show that there are cases other than refusal to repent where His blood shall not cleanse them, cases of very serious sin as alluded to in other posts on this thread.

The Savior is omnipotent, and His atonement infinite:

Book of Mormon, Alma 34:11-12 (about 74 BC)
11 Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood which will atone for the sins of another. Now, if a man murdereth, behold will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother? I say unto you, Nay.
12 But the law requireth the life of him who hath murdered; therefore there can be nothing which is short of an infinite atonement which will suffice for the sins of the world.

Your #19: The silence is deafening.

Let's not pretend that this is the only time this quote has ever been brought up here. I remind you of those previous discussions.

I also remind you that you have my witness, my testimony, which is what you may assume in my silence.

The Holy Spirit bears witness, and I bear witness, that the Lord Jesus Christ has sent true and living apostles and prophets to the earth in our day, has restored His ancient Church to the earth, and has named it The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

You are familiar with "...pearls before swine..." aren't you?

Can not--will not

To him who doesn't receive it--whats' the difference?

Shedding the blood of the offender as punishment for the sin/crime is not the same as forgiveness.
