Hi. I'm reading some books on the atonement of Jesus Christ. There has
been a general expression in at least one of the books I am reading (all by
LDS authors but not all authorities) that Jesus Christ took upon Himself
more than the sins of all the people in all of the infinite worlds which He
created, that he also took upon Himself all infirmities, all forms of
temptation, etc. The Bible only seems to spell out the one temptation
experience in the wilderness, unless I've missed something in the JST. The
Bible also does not suggest that, for instance, Jesus took upon Himself the
same experience I go through as a blind woman in modern life or that He
took upon Himself somehow the experiences of a woman in childbirth, etc.,
etc., etc. You get the picture of what I'm asking, I hope. How can we
either prove or disprove this hypothesis or should we even try? We know He
went through far more pain than anyone else has ever done and lived and we
know also that the Father left Him for a time during the Atonement. Are we
missing something else or are people making more out of the Atonement than
needs to be? My friend in Provo thinks so.
Stacy.
