Christianity is not cannibalism.

You sure shot down that strawman with skill and daring.

That's about all the defense the correct position requires.

"Do this in remembrance of Me." -- Luke 22:19

The alchemy of Rome is rebuked time and again in Scripture. Repeated sacrifices will not save anyone. Only the blood of Christ, shed once for all the sins of His flock, saves the fallen sinner.

"Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

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

From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin." -- Hebrews 10:9-18

Rome is mired in the trappings of the temporal world. Look heavenward, to the ONLY rock that is higher than ourselves.
