Do you recall the part of chapter ten where the author said the blood of animals could not take away sins? The offerings before were to focus faith upon the body prepared for Him, for by Him, His Body and Blood, is sin dealt with. The author says He did this once for all. Where for it need not be repeated. Jesus said to break the bread and eat it in remembrance of His body sacrificed for us. He offered the cups of Passover wine, not His blood, to be in remembrance of His blood poured out for them/us.

The heresy of transubstantiation is hallmark of mystery religions, of magic, and it is sacrilege. To insist you know when The Christ took upon Himself the body prepared for Him is of the same type of mystery religion. When Mary was told by Gabriel that what is conceived in her womb is holy, it need not be the Christ inhabiting from the first zygote The Christ. The proclamation that what was in her for Him to inhabit dedicates the body for God's purpose. That body gestating in her womb had been planned from the foundation of the Universe. While that body was gestating, The Word existed in complexity far greater than the forming cells.

Each Christian is born from above by God's Life spark in us. We have each had a body prepared for us in the womb of our mothers. We know not where or in what state was our spirit and soul during that gestating time of the 4D body. Could it be that catholicism makes unwarranted assumption in order to fabricate for Mary dignities to which she is not due?

I agree with everything in Hebrews 10 and everything in your first paragraph.

The paragraph beginning "The heresy of transubstantiation" is where we part company.

Matthew 26:26
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Mark 14:22
While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.”

Luke 22:19
Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”

1 Corinthians 11:24
and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me." (KJV)

This was Him. The very same body that formed in Mary's womb. He whom the whole Universe could not contain.

I wouldn't dare say anything but Amen.

Jesus offered ONE body for sin, shed that blood, and was done.

There can be no participation becuase Jesus is not in heaven being continually offered for our sin. He has a different body, one that can no longer die, and one that does not need to die because the son debt is paid in full.
