nd he would be glad to have his blood shed.
That would be loving themselves even unto eternal exaltation."
"This is loving our neighbor as ourselves; if he needs help, help
him; if he wishes salvation, and it is necessary to spill his
blood upon the ground in order that he be saved, spill it."
"Any of you who understand the principles of eternity - if you
have sinned a sin requiring the shedding of blood, except the sin
unto death - would not be satisfied or rest until your blood
should be spilled, that you might gain the salvation you desire.
This is the way to love mankind."
"It is true the blood of the Son of God was shed for sins through
the fall and those committed by men, yet ye men can commit sins
which it can never remit. As it was in the ancient days, so it is

until our elder brother, Jesus Christ, raises them up, and
conquers death, hell, and the grave."
"There are sins that can be atoned for by an offering upon an
altar, as in ancient days; and there are sins that the blood of a
lamb, of a calf, or of turtle doves cannot remit, but they must
be atoned for by the blood of the man. That is the reason why men
talk to you as they do from this stand; they understand the
doctrine, and throw out a few words about it. You have been
taught that doctrine, but you do not understand it."
