"This is where Roman Catholicism is in contradiction of the Scriptures. In Hebrews it is abundantly clear the offering has already been made and it was only ONE offering."

This is where you're getting Catholicism wrong. We AGREE with that.

How very subtle is your deceit!

An altar is a place of sacrifice, a place of offering something to God, a place of encountering God. Jesus offered Himself on earth on the “altar of the cross,” and that offering is now made present on the Church’s altar. The altar is related to our Lord’s Passion and represents the cross.

Mrs.D, I know in your mind it's not an ongoing sacrifice. I'm sure you've convinced yourself of that.

However, Roman Catholicism's own writings, which are the official position of Roman Catholicism, say otherwise.

There is no further offering or representation of that offering per Scripture.

When we participate in the Lord's Supper as Paul described it, we "do this in remembrance of Him".

It is not to attain salvation, but a result of salvation already obtained.

Of course you do!

But then Rome goes along and ADDS different stuff for you to ALSO 'believe'.
