If deegan is still around, could he give us some material on the Mormon doctrine (official church doctrine) Christ's atonement for the sins of the world. Or Blaine or DH? I don't care who does it, but I would be interested in a full and authoritive report.
The question DM ask's below -- I would like to see this answered as well.
Also, have I stumbled onto something of a difficulty for our Mormon friends?
To recap --------- The Mormon church believes the "apostate church" and the "first church" are two different things. Since the scriptures of the NT belong to the First Church and are not a part of the apostasy AND since the First Church is not the church repaired by God with "mormon " revelation, why is Mormon doctrine and church organization so different from what we read and know of the First Church and its scriptures?
