Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.

Since the Eucharist is one and the same sacrifice as Calvary, there would seem to be no problem.

And unbloody sacrifice is useless killing.

??? So when the Israelites offered a grain offering -- an unbloody sacrifice -- was that "useless killing"? When Melchizedek -- a priest of God most high -- offered bread and wine, was that "useless killing"?

Well, it's not because Jesus is not still hanging on the cross dying.

He died once for all, was resurrected and is NOW seated at the right hand of God waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.

He is at God's right hand interceding for His saints.

There's plenty in the NT that tells what the resurrect Christ is doing in heaven right now, and being continuously killed isn't one of them.
