Brigham Young said your own blood must atone for some sins.

Brigham Young said that we are obligated to keep all the laws and ordinances of God.
"Some of you may ask, ?Is there a single ordinance to be dispensed with? Is there one of the commandments that God has enjoined upon the people, that he will excuse them from obeying?'

No matter if we esteem them non-essential, or least or last of all the commandments of the house of God, we are under obligation to observe them." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 8, p. 339).

I think part of the point of this message is saying that mormanism is not Christianity. It very much contradicts the bible. Just don't take anyones word for it sister. Find the truth for yourself. To answer your more specific question. When jesus died he payed the cost of our sins so we could be forgiven for when we fall short of God's desire. We still need to do our best to do all that the Lord has asked us to do. Christ did not come to change the law. The old laws given to man by God still hold true today. Jewish law (not Old Testiment law) isn't necisary, however because it was not given to us by God. It was created as a guidline for living life in a proper way.

Mormonism is not consider a sect of Christianity. Funny that Christianity considers Roman Catholicism, but not other ones like Mormonism and Jehovah's Witness. Why? Mainly because they reject Jesus as God. Every Christians believe that Jesus is God, to be able to save humanity of their sins. I hope that will help clearify for you.
