Ergo, since someone paid the price, God can extend mercy without justice being robbed.


On what is God's extension of mercy predicated in LDS doctrine?

As a side note ... this issue of one where other "Christian" religions take issue with the Mormon's proclaiming to be Christians.

The old saved by works/saved by grace arguments. Must be nice being a "born again Christian", lots of works do seem to be implied/required in Mormonism.
