To: Cronos
Cronos...the crucifixion did not occur outside of time....it was an actual real life event. Saying God operates ouside of time ,in this reagard, is not an arguement that can stand in light of the historical event.

I never said that. Note this -- God exists out of time, right? Everything that happens to us in time is like an eternal NOW to Him, right?
In our sense of time, Christ's one-time sacrifice happened in the past, yet to God, this is the eternal sacrifice that He sees outside time.
One needs to stop anthropomorphising God to see time in our linear fashion -- God sees the eternal now, so an event that occured ONCE in our timeline, God can see in the "place outside time" -- and the mass is that participation in that eternal sacrifice.
