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.
