Question from a roommate

Last night i was talking with one of my roommates that is not a member of our church. She had a question about why we believe that Christ took upon our sins in the Garden where he bled from every pore and not when he died on the cross. I guess in her church they do not believe that he bled from every pore, and that he took upon him our sins on the cross. So my other roommates and I spent all night looking for scriptures in the bible that said that he bled from every pore and took upon our sins in the garden rather than the cross and we couldn't find any. One of my roommates even asked the missionaries up here and they gave her D&C 19: 16-19, but that is more of a modern day revelation and she wanted more of a bible reference. So i was wondering if you guys could help me out! :)

Hey Amy,
I don't know if you've already looked at this, but you can try Luke 22:44. I can't remember if it's a scripture with a JST or not, but you can just look at it and see what you think. I was also talking to Todd Nelson about it and he said probably the best thing to say if the scripture doesn't work is that the bible doesn't have everything in it so we need modern day revelation in order to understand everything. I don't know if that helps.

This sounds like a great missionary opportunity. You're lucky.
