Unlike the Jewish high priest, Christ heavenly offering obtained “eternal redemption” and did not need to be repeated or performed on earth. It was offered and accepted “once”.
Not understanding Scripture seems to be a common malady amongst Catholics.
The sacrifice was over and done here on earth. His body died, His blood was shed. The curtain in the Temple was torn in two.
Jesus role in heaven now is that of a priest, not a sacrifice.
If Jesus is alive in heaven, as Catholics continually claim that all the saints are to hear and answer our prayers, then what is going on in heaven is relevant to what is going on on earth. If Christ were still dying here on earth, then He'd still be dying in heaven.
Since He is a priest in heaven, the ultimate reality, then He is a priest there, no longer a sacrifice.
I guess there is something about *Tetelestai*- *It is finished* that Catholics fail to comprehend. If they're claiming that the sacrifice is ongoing, then someone is lying. Either the Catholic church. Or Jesus.
mm, the priest does not “sacrifice” Christ. In any event, do a Google search on “The Eighth Day”. The Liturgy does not occur here nor in time neither has the Mystical Supper nor the crucifixion nor the Resurrection happened more than once and always on the Eighth Day.
