We believe the Atonement of Jesus Christ comprises the time in Gesthemene and on the Cross.
______________________________________________
However Christians believe that Jesus bought us Salvation by shedding His blood on the Cross and dying on the Cross in our place to redeem us from the penalty of spiritual death for our sins...
The Garden of Gethsemanee has nothing to do with our Savation...
The Cross is where it all happened...
Tennessee Nana,
Again, you are saying that if people don’t believe in the exact same tenants you do that they are not Christian. I guess we Mormons could say the same thing and call you a non-Christian, but we don’t because it’s not up to each denomination to designate other denominations’ Christianity.
I am always grateful to encounter other who believe in Christ, and wish that the day may come when those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior could share a feeling of brotherhood instead of derision and ridicule.
