What's Wrong with Rome's Sacrifice of the Mass?
[What's Wrong
with Rome's Sacrifice of the Mass?
Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries]
"The Catholic Church teaches that
the Mass is the same sacrifice that
Jesus offered on Calvary's cross. It
is said to be the source and summit
of the Catholic life. However, there
are significant errors when the Mass
is tested with the supreme authority
of God's Word.
1) The sacrifice of the Mass, which
is repeated every day, is an
outright rejection of the "cross
work" of Jesus Christ. He is the
perfect High Priest who offered
Himself, the perfect sacrifice once,
for all sin, for all time. His
sacrifice completely paid the
eternal debt for sin, totally
satisfied divine justice, and
finished the work of redemption.
2) Sinful Catholic priests can never
be exalted to the position of
mediator between God and man. Jesus
Christ, who is God's perfect man and
man's perfect God, is the only one
qualified to mediate between sinful
men and Holy God.
3) The Mass encourages idolatry as
Catholics treat the sacramental
elements of bread and wine with the
honor and veneration that is due
only to Jesus Christ. The Eucharist
cannot be the physical presence of
Jesus because He remains in heaven
until His enemies are made His
footstool.
4) The human nature of Jesus Christ
is violated. If His physical body
can be present in thousands of
places at the same time, it is not a
body like ours and Jesus could not
be our kinsman redeemer.
5) It's a deceptive and damning
fabrication of the once perfect
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It
obscures people from the true
meaning and power of the cross. It
enslaves hearts and blinds people
from the glorious light of the
Gospel.
6) The sacrifice of the Mass keeps
Catholics in bondage to their false
religion not only in this life, but
also in the next. Illegitimate
priests are paid stipends for sin
offerings to removal souls from the
purging fires of a fictitious place
called purgatory. " Pro-Gospel.org
Response to comment [from other]: "Amen."
Amen to your amen.
It is a wicked and blasphemous
ceremony.
