"Man may commit certain grievous sins-according to his light
and knowledge-that will place him beyond the reach of the atoning
blood of Christ. If then he would be saved he must make sacrifice
of his own life to atone-so far as in his power lies-for that
sin, for the blood of Christ alone under certain circumstances
will not avail."
(Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R McConkie p93)
"Joseph Smith taught that there were certain sins so grievous
that man may commit, that they will place the transgressors
beyond the power of the atonement of Christ. If these offenses
are committed, then the blood of Christ will not cleanse them
from their sins even though they repent. Therefore their only
hope is to have their own blood shed to atone, as far as possible,
in their behalf. This is scriptural doctrine, and it is taught
in all the standard works of the Church."
(Doctrines of Salvation by Joseph F. Smith
vol.1 p 135)
"This doctrine can only be practiced in its fullness in a
day when the civil and ecclesiastical laws are administered
in the same hands…it was not and could not be practiced in this
dispensation, except that persons who understood its provisions
could and did use their influence to get a form of capitol punishment
written into the laws of the various states of the union so
that the blood of murderers could be shed."
(Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie p93)

"For it is expedient that there should be a great sacrifice;
yea, not a sacrifice of man, neither of beast, neither of any
manner of fowl; for it shall not be a human sacrifice; but it
must be an infinite and eternal sacrifice.
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."
(Alma 34:10, 12)
"That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for
the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all
unrighteousness;"
(Doctrine & Covenants 76:41)
"Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement-save it should
be an infinite atonement this corruption could not put one incorruption.
Wherefore the first judgment, which came upon man, must needs
have remained to an endless duration. And if so, this flesh must
have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother earth, to rise
no more."
(2 Nephi 9:7)

"ye have heard that it is said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be danger
of the judgment:
But I say unto to, That whosoever is angry with his brother without
a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:"
(Matthew 5:21-22)
"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right
hand, and one on the left.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
they do,"
(Luke 23:33-34)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him."
(Romans 5:8-9)
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his
word is not in us."
(1 John 7-10)
