This is similar to a question I asked before and can't get a straight answer out of a Mormon. Brigham Young said, "any man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God will be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it." -The Journal of Disclosures vol.3 p. 247
President J.M Grant said , "If they are covenant breakers we need a place designated where we can shed their blood." -Ibid vol.4 p. 49-50
The sins they are talking about include murder, adultery, stealing and taking the Lord's name in vein.

I think you know as well as I do that mormons are really messed up. It's a battle we can't win. I feel pity for them.

If there are, then it's up to Christ to judge them, not us. And I do believe that Brigham Young and everyone else knew/knows that. And I think that "blood atonement" is a metaphor, meaning that, at least, in this life, it's unforgivable.
As far as I know, the only sins I've heard that are unforgivable in this life (forgiveness can only be granted directly from Christ in the next life) are murder and sex change.

Christ provided an infinte atonement. I would not limit the power of that gift. To all it provides immortality. As to eternal life, the Celestial Kingdom, can we expect to enter with unrepented sins?
To be forgiven of a sin, we must repent. As a part of repentance we need to make amends for the harm done to others, and seek their forgiveness. If we murder, unlike other sins, we can't do this.

If Jesus Christ ever existed - and that is doubtful - it will NOT wipe out any sins. That concept is a fabrication of a corrupt church. The basic law of the cosmos is Cause and Effect or Action and Reaction. The past can not be altered in any way. It would cause chaos. The whole matrix would be upset.
That Matrix it a totally interactive one. Trying to backdate and change past events is impossible. It would change everything else.
Here is what more than one Pope said...... I quote only Pope Leo X (1513-1521):
"How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us" (That means the Vatican, the Christian church).

Mormons believe that the one and only unforgivable sin is denying the Holy Spirit. The "Blood of Christ" as you put it is our free gift of resurrection freely given to all. But that free gift DOES NOT wipe away our evil ways. Ressurection can mean resurrection to heaven, or resurrection to damnation. THAT'S WHAT REPENTANCE IS FOR. We all sin. We all can be led astray. WE all must individually turn from our evil ways and come into the light of truth and honesty. Nobody expects perfection. We are imperfect beings. What is expected is that we continue to grow and strive for our salvation.

After answering several of your questions I feel I should say that you can quote from the Journal of Discourses until you are blue in the face, it will be to no avail.

I think Christ doesn't have enough blood to clean the sins of it's huge followers OR worshipers .Christ may die again in real when he does the job when he comes back.

Jesus didn't lose any blood.
Anyway, He didn't come to forgive us of our sins, but to teach us not to be stupid enough to die for our own sins.
i.e. He didn't die to save us from sins past, He lived to save us from sins future.

Don't forget the sin of a interracial sex. That's worthy of death too.
