Anglican Church: Is it the doctrine of the Mormon Church that Christ's blood is of no affect to some and therefore they came up with blood atonement? This, the LDS Church has taken from the Law of Moses, hence they teach capital punishment and request that a murderer "offer his blood" to atone for his sin if he has killed another. I challenge you to produce from the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ, any place that teaches this man-made and abominable doctrine. What I am pointing out is that if a Mormon were to kill another person, he must atone for that sin WITH HIS OWN BLOOD. Would you please point out the harmony of that doctrine from the Bible?
Missionaries: The doctrine of Blood Atonement was practiced in the days of Moses, because the civil and ecclesiastical laws were administered by the same hands. Noah, who had the "everlasting covenant" with God, and now had a fullness of the gospel, was commanded, "Whosoever sheddeth man’s blood by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man". (Gen.9:6) Paul taught in Romans 1:25-32 that murder and many forms of sexual sin "are worthy of death." Hebrews 5:9 tells us that Christ was the author of eternal salvation unto "all them that obey him," and yet when we "sin willfully after we have received a knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins." (Heb.10:26) A sin of murder is a direct contradiction to the will of God, and makes it necessary that we have a personal "atonement" for these things. If it were not necessary, the Lord would not have commanded it of Noah, who did not live under the Law of Moses.

United Church of Canada: Judge and gentlemen, I would like to point out to you a definite contradiction between Mormon writings and the Holy Scriptures. I hold in my hand a book supposedly inspired, “The Doctrine and Covenants”. Within this book are the recorded revelations of Joseph Smith, the Prophet. We read in Section #2, verse 18 where the Lord was to have told the prophet, "And now, behold I speak unto the church. Thou shalt not kill; and he that kills shall not have forgiveness in this world, nor in the world to come." It's a good thing Joseph Smith wasn’t back in Simon Peter's shoes on the day of Pentecost when Peter, before the vast multitude of people from "every nation under Heaven" and only 50 days since they had placed Christ on the cross, declared: "Therefore, let all the House of Israel know assuredly that God hath made Jesus, WHOM YE HAVE CRUCIFIED, both Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36) We read where their guilt was so strong that "when they heard this they were pricked in hearts, and said unto Peter and to the rest of apostles, "Men and Brethren, what shall we do?" Then Peter declared, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." In the Mormon Church, if a man kills another, all hope is lost but, in the Bible, they can kill the Christ will forgive them. Now, I ask you, could anything be so plainly contradictory?
Missionaries: Your lack of ability to read a scripture amazes me. Just because Paul would greet the brethren with a "holy kiss" doesn’t make him a Judas, because "he betrayed the son of man with a kiss." You try and make a contradiction between two completely different incidents. You will notice in “The Doctrine and Covenants” the Lord was speaking to the members of the church who had been sanctified, baptized, received the Holy Ghost, tasted of the good word of God, gained a knowledge of the worlds to come, and from living apostles and prophets has learned the will of God. Paul said in Heb. 6:4-8, "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." After the knowledge and truths are revealed and a witness of the Holy Spirit is given, this places a Latter-day Saint in this position and when they break the commandment of murder, the consequences will not only be for this life, but for the life to come unless they atone for their own sin.
