I would substitute "insufficient" with "not intended for" the redemption of those who shed innocent blood....Thanks for your answer tracer, I would just note that Brigham said in his discourse that there are sins for which Jesus' blood cannot atone. That means Jesus' blood is unable to cleanse the particular sins on Brigham's mind.
Does Mormon teaching anywhere let us know what those sins are? Is this current Mormon teaching?

Everything else that I've read that has been said or written by Brigham Young suggests that he would never doubt the ability of the Jesus Christ or our Heavenly Father to do whatever they saw fit to bring to pass. The only "unforgivable sins" that "Mormon" theology addresses, and does so only briefly, are the shedding of innocent blood and the denying of or blaspheming against the Holy Ghost (by one having attained knowledge sufficient to do so).
The topic properly remains unclear and is seldom discussed in the Scriptures or by the leadership of the (LDS) Church.....

Just in case no one reads the longer post above!
