It is you who is lacking in discernment unable to grasp spiritual things.
So believe what you want CB, but no atonement took place in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve are cast out of the Garden of Eden—
Gen 3 This was the end of their stay in Paradise
The atonement happen afterwards the eviction, when Life conditions were put on them for their transgress.
There is no record of Adam in Leviticus.
That fairly leaped out as being non sequitur, in that CB never claimed there was any "atonement" there. Only blood, in living form(?) within Adam, from the beginning. That is, if I'm understanding this conversation well enough.
As to "atonement" even in regards to blood atonement, is it not true that according to Mormon theology, Christ's own blood, shed in atonement for our sins, is said to be those blood-tears coming from Him, in the Garden of Gethsemane?
I ask, for there is seemingly abundant commentary, from over a span of many years, coming from high-ranking "Mormons", to that effect;
- Mormon Apostle Bruce McConkie, stated, "Where and under what circumstances was the atoning sacrifice of the Son of God made? Was it on the Cross of Calvary or in the Garden of Gethsemane? It is to the Cross of Christ that most Christians look when centering their attention upon the infinite and eternal atonement. And certainly the sacrifice of our Lord was completed when he was lifted up by men; also, that part of his life and suffering is more dramatic and, perhaps, more soul stirring. But in reality the pain and suffering, the triumph and grandeur, of the atonement took place primarily in Gethsemane," (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, vol. 1, p. 774)
- "We honor His birth. But without His death that birth would have been but one more birth. It was the redemption which He worked out in the Garden of Gethsemane and upon the cross of Calvary which made His gift immortal, universal, and everlasting," (Gordon B. Hinckley, "A Season for Gratitude," Ensign, Dec. 1997, p. 4).
- "The Savior's atonement in the garden and on the cross is intimate as well as infinite," (Merrill J. Bateman, "The Power to Heal from Within," Ensign, May 1995, p. 14).
- "We don't know exactly how Jesus accomplished the Atonement. We only know that somehow during the course of the excruciating and agonizing hours in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross, he became our Redeemer," (Joseph Walker, "Singing the Song of Redeeming Love," Ensign, Mar. 1993, p. 58).
- "Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all mankind, even as many as will, shall be redeemed. The Savior began shedding His blood for all mankind, not on the cross but in the Garden of Gethsemane. There He took upon Himself the weight of the sins of all who would ever live. Under that [page 6] heavy load, He bled at every pore," (Russell M. Nelson, "His Mission and Ministry," New Era, Dec. 1999, p. 4, 6).
- "The Savior's atonement in the garden and on the cross is intimate as well as infinite. Infinite in that it spans the eternities. Intimate in that the Savior felt each person's pains, sufferings, and sicknesses. Consequently, he knows how to carry our sorrows and relieve our burdens that we might be healed from within, made whole persons, and receive everlasting joy in his kingdom," (Merrill J. Bateman, "Healing Our Hearts," New Era, Apr. 1996, p. 49).
- "Our church believes that Christ's crucifixion was an important part of the atonement, but we believe that a more important part was when he suffered for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane," ("Q&A: Questions and Answers," New Era, Sept. 1996, p. 18).

Atonement? When did atonement insert itself into this conversation? We were talking about the lifeblood of the flesh not the blood of atonement.
