The Mass

14.  MASS- A REPETITIVE SACRIFICE

QUESTION?  Does the Bible teach the need for a repetitive sacrifice of Christ?



The Catholic Church teaches that through communion that Christ needs to be repeatedly sacrificed for the sins of the people.  They teach the work of expiation continues through the unbloody sacrifice of the Mass for all time. Hence, for Catholics, the greatest work of expiation is through the sacrifice of the Mass by which God is placated.



What does the Bible say?



 "11 And every priest (referring to old testament priest) stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. "  Hebrews 10:11-17
