If I thought, as some seem to do, that the Catholic Church thought it was repeating Christ's sacrifice in the Mass, I never would have converted.

You figure God loved His Son, Jesus??? You figure God was happy about the pain and humiliation??? You figure God suffered when Jesus, and because Jesus suffered???

You maybe think Jesus, when it was finally over, said to Himself; thank God, it is finally finished...And maybe God was saying, Hang on Son it's almost over, and finally, Son, it is finished...

You think God wants to keep Jesus on the cross until you guys are done with Him???

Jesus is NOT still on the Cross...And you can't put Him there...He will never be on a Cross again...

He is risen...

Jesus appeared to His disciples after He was raised...He was not on a cross...He said, I'm going away and will send the Comforter to take my place...

He DID NOT say, when you break bread and drink from the cup, I will climb back on the Cross...You figure that Jesus is in some sort of time warp so that for the last 2000 years He never left the cross???

Jesus died for me, but He is dying for you???

Do you imagine God the Father and God the Son (and God the Holy Spirit for that matter) are bound by YOUR perception of time and space?

Okay. You came up with one of at least two possible ways of interpreting what I said.

There is another way to understand it. If you are interested in understanding what we think before you reject it, I'll leave it to you to figure it out.
