The New Testament is clear Jesus is the one time sacrifice for sin.
No further sacrifice is needed.
| Biblical Position on the Sacrifice of Christ | Roman Catholic Mass from Rev. John O’Brien, a Catholic Priest* | |
| How many times must Christ be sacrificed for our sins? | but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. Hebrews 9:12-13. | the priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man – not once but a thousand times! |
| Jesus is currently in Heaven. When does He return to Earth? | so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Hebrews 9:28 | When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne |
| What role does Mary play in this? | The Word ascribes no power to Mary in regards to Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross or in any other capacity. | Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. |
| Is there any further offering for sin other than Christ? | Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. Hebrews 10:18. | …and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man – not once but a thousand times!. |

Again, your post may list your beliefs , but proves nothing about the Mass.
You have not responded to questions about the forgiveness of sins.
Please explain why Jesus told the Apostles:
John 20:21-23
21* [Jesus] said to them again,l “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22* And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,m “Receive the holy Spirit. 23* n Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
If all sins are forgiven, then why did Jesus give the ability to the Apostles and their successors to forgive sins and to retain sins (some sins that are not forgiven)?
Explain why only one of the thieves on the cross was saved.?
If all sins were forgiven on the cross, then why does Jesus and Catholic Church require Baptism and protestants/evangelicals require “being Born again” to forgive sins?
