Discourse About Blood Atonement

[Ray]

Here is a link to the discourse containing the so-called doctrine of blood atonement.

http://journals.mormonfundamentalism.org/V...fJDvol4-10.html

I will state that Brigham Young didn't mean what a lot of people think he meant, and that you can only know what he meant by reading what he said in context and receiving guidance from the Holy Ghost.

The Church has many doctrines that are not understood by many people, mostly because they do not receive the guidance of the Holy Ghost to properly understand the doctrine.

I recommend reading the complete discourse and then praying for guidance before discussing it here in this forum.

Because that is the one Jason referenced, only he didn't provide the full discourse so that we could all see it in context.

If you know of any other discourses discussing this issue, feel free to reference them.

Are you sure Brigham Young didn't mean what I think he meant when he taught the Doctrine of Blood Atonement?

VERY disturbing - if it's true.

Sure trust a site such as exmormon.org =\

Please do not link any material from that site anymore.

Thanks.

...so-called doctrine of blood atonement.

Your use of the term "so-called" betrays both your fear and embarrassment of this disturbing topic.

Spencer,

Just because they are ex-mormons, doesn't mean you can't trust them.

[Spencer]

I understand that, but it doesnt mean you can either. I find it less likly that it would be trust worthy, its fine if you all want to share these links, I just ask that you dont do it on this site.

Thanks.

Well, okay then. If a website that quotes a bunch of LDS church leaders from church books is "anti-mormon", then more power to you. I guess it is a bad thing for people to know what the leaders of their church have said.

By the way, which is it that is "anti-mormon". The church leaders that say such things, or the person who quotes it to show that said church leaders really did say the things that they said?

So what makes the link that Ray not "anti-mormon"?

Bat's got a point there Spence.

Ray's link is to a Mormon Fundamentalist website. Im pretty sure Gordo wouldn't approve!

Why do you "anti-mormon" when I never once said that.

And my concern is with you, not Ray dont worry about him. I appologize I do not catch every post.

I'd bet that Gordon the Hinckley would say that he doesn't know whether or not he approves of that link. It's a very deep philosophical thing that we don't really know very much about. Go read your scriptures and do whatever your bishop tells you, but we didn't say that.

bat..this is the 4th or 5th time you've degraded our beloved prophet, please kindly stop...I personally love and respect President Hinckley and am tired of seeing you insult him...
