We are brought in contact with eternity, outside of time and space, and with "the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world…" (Rev 13:8).

Sorry, the verse does not say what you are implying...It does not say Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world...It was those whose names that are not written in the book of life...

Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

And how do we know that??? We reject Catholic tradition and compare scripture with scripture...

Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

The sacrifice of Jesus is not an ongoing thing...It's over...You have absolutely nothing to support your idea of a continuing sacrifice...

We are not to celebrate the Crucifixion of Jesus...We are to hang our head in shame as we remember it...We are to celebrate Jesus' ascension...

Iscool? Your error here is a grammatical one. Please diagram this sentence:

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him [the beast], whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

The noun Book has two modifying phrases attached to it: "of Life" and "of the Lamb."

The phrase "of the Lamb," and what follows, modifies the noun "Book." The phrase "slain from the foundation of the world" modifies the word Lamb.

That means we are talking about a Book "of Life" belonging to "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

"The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" is Christ. There is no other lamb slain. He is the only one. All who worship the beast, do not have their names in that Book.

John says of Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!" (John1:29)

And Paul says of Jesus, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us, therefore let us keep the feast..." (1 Cor 5:7)

Jesus IS "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." He's the one who has that "Book of Life."

You might think I'm joking, but it really helps if you diagram the sentence.

Christ's sacrifice is both a one-time, temporal event, and an eternal event outside of time. The same thing. The same, one sacrifice.

That's what the Bible says.
