The true reformation would initiate a new sacrifice, which has intrinsic power to cleanse our consciences.

Hebrews 10

[9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
[12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
[13] From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Christians have no need of additional sacrifice, nor can they benefit from it in any way.  There are no sacrificing priests in true Christianity.

Could it be any more clear??? A religion which has priests that offer sacrifices is rebuked by God...

Here is the real Christianity...

[12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

In one religion, men (still) are trying to offer sacrifices to God...In Christianity, God offered (One) sacrifice for man...

They are opposing religions...

One is Christianity, the other is Anti-Christianity...

One is Christ...The other is, Anti-Christ...
