Thanks guys! The atonement helped me when I was at hopeless state of being alcoholic and agnostic/atheist I said a desperate prayer because I used to believe growing up.. I had strong voice in my mind that told me to go to an AA meeting which I did.. it put me on a path to repentance and got me interested in the Bible especially the New Testament… and I just finished the Book of Mormon.. almost three years sober! Greatful for Jesus ultimate sacrifice so I can seek him always especially when I am low..

The greatest part of the atonement that deeply touched my life was learning that it covers everything. It of course covers sin but also heartache and pain. Even the parts of life that are unfair, he will make it all right again.

It's so refreshing and awesome to watch you both, as brothers, talk about the Savior and share your innate testimonies with one another...and with us. Thank you both and may the Lord bless you.

A few years ago, I was reading my journal about some financial difficulties I was going through as a newlywed in college. Having since gotten into a much better standard of living ten years later, I wished that I could go back in time and comfort my past self and reassure him that things would get better someday. Then I realized that's exactly how we can have faith in enduring our afflictions through Christ. Since He's been through every affliction, His reassurances that happiness will come from keeping the commandments and repenting come from a position of knowledge of our own future. If we can have the faith to believe Him as well as we would believe a more mature version of ourselves time traveling from the future, we can look forward to one day being free from all our cares because Christ paid the ultimate price. It really strengthened my testimony in the healing and hopeful power of the Atonement that we can enjoy now, not just the redeeming aspect of it that will save us at the last day. It reminds me of Ether 12:4, "Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." I really appreciate this channel. The casual, accessible, earnest feel of your conversations and your focus on specific and interesting aspects of the Gospel. Keep up the great work, guys.

I love that we are not only saved by His Grace thru faith, we can also be changed by Grace thru faith on the power of th Atonement, whn we don’t have th pwr to change on our own; whn we have a sincere desire and learn to rely on Him, as you spoke of.

I discovered you guys from Midnight Mormons. I love both Podcasts. Love your insights on the scriptures. Thank you and keep up the good work. You both strengthen my faith and testimony.

Thank you for your insights into the atonement of Jesus Christ. I had never thought why it was that He bled from every pore. But as He takes every person's pain and suffering there's room for everyone in every inch of His body.

Please keep these videos up. Greatly enjoy the light they are bringing to my research into the gospel.

Gentlemen, this is such an important topic and I love that you chose it! Alma 7:11-13 has been fundamental for me in recognozing one of the key aspects of Christ and his Atonement. Especially v13 where Alma teaches that "the spirit knoweth all things, neverless he suffered..." Now why is that significant? If the spirit knew he could have just told Christ, but as a result of him suffering He now knows how to help us, because he suffer exactly what we did. Keep it up!

Thanks for your work to bring greater understanding of our Savior and all He has done for us.

Well, guys, this episode was great. You are teaching the scriptures contextualized at 2023. I love the way you explained them. Saying HI from Chile

Awesome channel! Y’all are refreshing, real, and powerful! Thank you!☀️💕

this is awesome. yall are just some homies preaching the word and I love it

What a great message. Truly sweet doctrine!❤

Favorite scripture for sure is 2 Nephi 2:22 it begins with “the Lord is my salvation” and ends with “the Lord has BECOME my salvation.” Everything in between shows the journey of how to get to the becoming. Applying the atonement in a practical way. Awesome video!

Beautiful lesson! Thank y'all!!! Be blessed🌿

Guys, you're doing a great work here. I want to point out a critical phrase in Alma 7:11. It says "And he shall go forth ... ". This sets the context to how Christ will suffer pains, afflictions and sicknesses. The prior verse speaks of Christ's birth. Then verse 11 says that Christ will "go forth" and suffer pains, afflictions and temptations. Think about it, Christ was not "going forth" in the garden of Gethsemane. No, His early mission was nearly over and he was stationary, kneeling, not going forth. Rather, the phrase "And he shall go forth" refers to his mortal ministry. He started it by fasting 40 days and nights where He suffered pain, affliction and temptations. Verse 11 is not referring to the atonement; it's referring to Christ's mortal life where he suffered just the way that all of us suffer physical pain, affliction and temptation. He did this so that he would understand WHILE IN MORTALITY (according to the flesh) what we experience. Christ was not spared the vicissitudes of mortality. These experiences helped him to have empathy and compassion to heal the people. I'll say it one more time: Alma 7:11 is not referring to the atonement. We must not ignore context that "And he shall go forth" sets.

Yes. I do indeed love the Savior. The Atonement has a special place in my heart for the some of the very same reasons expressed in your show today. Just wanted to share one of the verses that I have found to oddly be transformative for me having read it numerous times but not quite making a connection until now. 3 Nephi 17, specifically the parts where Jesus shows the type of Savior that He truly is. Verses 5-7 , that paints the picture of the Savior, and even the Christ that I know and love.

Really loving these videos!

It’s incredible how much He believes in us as individuals. Human nature would have us label the worst of humanity as undeserving of love, and certainly not deserving of forgiveness for the worst of sins, but like it says in Romans, there is literally nothing we could ever do to sway His love for us and his desire to be with us again. No matter what we have done or will ever do, God’s hand is stretched out to us, offering love, acceptance, and a happiness that doesn’t just last for a few short moments. As hard as it can be to start the repentance process, there are few things that feel more freeing than taking those first few steps to return to the path to happiness

You guys are doing good work

For what it’s worth. My career involved working in critical care units with patients on life support. As patients were on life support for prolonged periods of time their organs would begin to fail. Eventually, due to organ failure and the disruption of oncotic pressures the blood would begin to move out of the vessels and to weep through the pores of the skin. When we would turn the patient the sheets would be stained with the patient’s blood. But the color wasn’t red, it looked as if olive oil had been poured on the sheets because it was, for the most part plasma that was leaking out. BTW a search of Google said the wine used at the time of Christ was wine made from yellow grapes.

You two remind me of the stripling warriors! Thank you!

I served my mission in the south and when we asked what the Atonement means to our fellow Christian brother and sisters 90% were confused. When we explained it to them about how it was three fold (Garden, Cross and Resurrection) they did not believe that he suffered for our sins in the garden, let alone our pains, temptations and sickness. They believed he suffered for our sins only upon the cross. When asked why it says that he bled from every pore in the garden the common response was that he was so stressed out about what was to come on the cross…it was comforting to many to learn in a more well rounded understanding that the Book of Mormon clarified this along with what they found in the Bible.

One of the strongest points of Christ's suffering, for me, is when he's on the cross and he tells John to take his mother home. John 19:25-27 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary, wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his home. Christ is nailed to the cross and suffering, but sees both John his beloved brother and his mother watching and tells them to look to each other and John takes her away to his home. Thus neither actually sees Christ, whom they love so much die. (I support this by the fact that John does not write much more of the crucifixion, like the others do, and why wouldn't he, unless he wasn't there.) Anyway, my point is, that in all of his suffering and even at the very end when death was nearest, Christ, forever good, looked after his beloved people.

What Luke described in gethsemane is very important and I agree with that point. But Jesus did not atone for our sins there. In the Old Testament ( Israel Jews) had to bring a sacrifice blood was shed and death. The Bible described that Jesus bore our sins on the cross 1 Peter 2:24-25. Galatians 2:20-21 I been crucified with Christ.

From reading the scriptures and reading good books, I agree with you on the Saviour's atonement in Gethsamane. What He suffered was the resulting pain that is created when we sin. I believe that He shed all His blood there. If you read the Biblical account of the Garden and Jesus in the hands of the 'mob', it is quite illuminating. The Garden sounds like a horror when you consider the words the Saviour used. I wouldnt underplayed the pain of the cross, but the cross didn't kill the Saviour, He gave up His life so as He could take it up again and to show us that we will too. It's not just as fraught on the cross if you compare the words He said there to those in the Garden. Isolate His words and you will see. Regarding blood, we have watch too many Holywood depictions of Jesus after the Garden. When He had the crown of thorns placed on His head, when He was scourged and when He was nailed to the cross, blood is not mentioned in any of the Gospel accounts. It does mention blood and water when the guard pierced the side of Jesus to see if He were dead. The fluid that came from his 'side' is what's called a Pleural Effusion, it is usually a reddish brown thin liquid which occurs in the chest cavity when the heart is under enormous pressure and the lubrication around the lungs produces an excessive amount. When I had open heart surgery, I had complications and nearly died. Before I was discharged from hospital I had to have a litre removed from my chest cavity of this 'blood and water'. So, the only place and time that blood is mentioned at that time was in the Garden and nowhere else. I know that in Colossians 1:20 it says, 'And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself;...' I have look at this from a number of angles but I don't think it refers to Jesus shedding His blood on the cross. Instead when we refer to a burden or something difficult that one must deal with we say, we have a heavy cross to bear. Even the Saviour asked us to take up our cross and follow Him. Jesus had an almighty cross to bear in the Garden and it could be said, He made peace through the blood of His cross...in the Garden. As I said earlier, I believe that Jesus shed all His blood in the Garden, so enormous was his burden. From there until He said, Father it is finished, He struggled in a weakened state through His ordeal without blood. When I think of what He did for me, for us all, I am humbled and in awe that He took upon Hinself pain that would have sentenced us to an eternity of carrying that pain if He hadnt paid the price in our place.

Hi there 0:19 Could you, please, share your experience about pornography and how you overcame it? How did you look at Christ having that weakness/issue? I’d love to learn from you Thank you so much

, Sweating isn't bleeding in the Garden and that was Jesus anticipating his loss of Eternal fellowship with the Father as in the Trinity when He takes the SIN of the world on himself ON the Cross. The Atonement and actual bleeding happened ON The Cross. This is just another reason you deny the Cross of Christ which Paul Preached.

It’s debatable if Jesus even existed.

In Mormons perspective everything are correct. But according to the Bible it’s not right. But you guys are doing a good job in this Chanel everything are perfect to cover the lies about Mormon cult. I was raised Mormon and went all of steps to be God 😅( Mormon god of course)

The rest of Christianity believe the same thing. One big difference between what Joseph Smith taught vs what Christ taught is the Blood Atonement. Know your own doctrine before you teach it, don't deceive people. (The LDS church does not teach the blood atonement anymore, but the original prophet did(Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Joseph F. Smith))

Don't forget D&C 19:18. Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit-and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink

Did Jesus really suffer everyone's sins, for billions who have ever existed! When did they agree to that? Would you agree to that in the pre-mortal covenant? "Okay Jesus, you go down, do our suffering for us, and we will go sew our bad oats, because boys will be boys." Oh we are so nice to our Brother! Does that really make any logical sense? The Scriptures do not actually say He suffered for every sin of the faithful, and God does not feed His children mysterious and incomprehensible concepts regarding basic keys of Salvation, nor does He require His well beloved Son to suffer anything unnecessarily. How does Jesus determine who of those billions will repent and be faithful. Because His Atonement is only for the faithful. What happens if one of those bad boy billions decides to be faithful after Jesus was done suffering. Will Jesus suddenly cramp over at the dinner table with pain because someone He didn't suffer for changed to faithfulness? Just tell me that you fully comprehend Jesus suffering for billions in just a few hours in a garden and on a cross. There are two categories of sin: Atonement related and Repentance related. The first is for the unpardonables that we have all committed by the very presence of blood in our veins and our egocentric attributes, that are all diametrically opposed to the Holy Ghost. Mtt 12:31-32 The second is for all other sins that can be forgiven by the Kingdom of God through faith and repentance; which will play into the process by which humanity will merit various eternal rewards or consequences due to levels of faithfulness. God would cease to be God if He were to cancel our suffering and all consequences for degrees of faithfulness. He will only cancel those sins we cannot repair on our own faithfulness. Unless you understand these two categories and what the real unpardonable sins are, you cannot interpret scripture related to the Atonement properly. (There are various ways and components of the unpardonable; thus plural 'unpardonables'.) The anguish of Gethsemane was His own self generated pain over the frailty of mankind and what was going to befall the Jews and mankind for the next many centuries. This bleeding proved His continued total harmony with the Holy Ghost and by that standard, His sinlessness. Jesus was not immune to growing grace by grace thru the things which He suffered, not immune to making mistakes, not immune to repentance, nor was He immune to Baptism. He was immune to death as He did not have blood in his veins and He immunized Himself against mortal egocentricity. Why would Father ask His Son to suffer the sins for billions of repentable sins that will be forgiven by the Kingdom of God, upon the anguish, suffering and penance of the faithful? Since repentable sins can be forgiven by the Kingdom of God; what kind of Father would ask His Son to go suffer those sins anyway? Not very gracious of Him, now is it? But have we not all sinned against the Holy Ghost, for since we all have blood in our veins and daily chose to not walk with God in our egocentricity, are we not doing what Adam and Eve did, are we not sentenced to die unless we have a Redeemer to intercede between us and the Holy Ghost?

He did not atone in Gethsemane. He was not praying on our behalf and paying for our sins in the garden. He needed to go to the cross where he would suffer and die for the sins of the world (numerous verses OT and NT). In the garden He was praying for strength to go to the cross and if there was another way to carry it out, but His Father's will be done. The angel was sent to support him in this time of weakness. Once He was on the cross no angel was sent because He had to complete the atonement on His own. It is clear that He drank the bitter cup on the cross. Satan will do all he can to take our eyes off the cross and place it somewhere else. Beware of the subtle deception.

2:58 you come off as extremely naïve. Why don't you take a serious academic study of world religions before you try and portray yourselves as some sort of authority on religious doctrine?
