Your comment: “If the Catholic Jesus is still dying for our sin, the Jesus the Catholic church teaches is NOT the Jesus found in Scripture.” As a former baptized Catholic you seem to lack an understanding of the beliefs of the Catholic Church.

Catholic Church has affirmed the Resurrection of Jesus and the Ascension into Heaven. That is well established Catholic doctrine. It is stated in the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed.

By sacrifice in the real sense is universally understood the offering of a sense-perceptible gift to the Deity as an outward manifestation of our veneration for Him and with the object of attaining communion with Him.

Christianity knows but one sacrifice, the sacrifice which was once offered by Christ in a bloody manner on the tree of the Cross. But in order to apply to individual men in sacrificial form though a constant sacrifice the merits of redemption definitively won by the sacrifice of the Cross, the Redeemer Himself instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be an unbloody continuation and representation of the bloody sacrifice of Calvary.

Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.

Jesus’ sacrifice was VERY bloody. If what you are offering is an unbloody sacrifice, it is NOT the same sacrifice as the one on the cross.

And since Jesus died on a tree (cross) the sacrifice offered on an altar is also not the same sacrifice.

Nor is Jesus eternally dying in heaven. He is currently seated at the right hand of God.

I wonder... If I put these words on my barn roof; will they act as a lightning rod?
