I just saw this split off.

I agree with your statement. The sacrifice is done. But mediation continues. We are to come boldly before the throne of grace to find help in time of need.

The reason the issue was important though is that it indicates the fished sacrifice.

The bigger issue to the overall theme, being discussed in the other thread, is that the type of cleansing was initiated before the author of Hebrew's time, with the High Priest entering by means of blood, specifically said to eclipse the entering of the earthly high priest, yearly, with blood not his own.

By the way Daryl, did you copy these to this thread or did you split them?

I haven't done anything here recently myself.

I think I understand what you mean by your question now.

Some of the posts you see here weren't copied, but rather split off from the other thread, however, as I already stated, nothing was done recently here.

The reason I asked is that it now appears to the reader of the other thread that I did not address her arguments on that point, when in fact I did.

I heard a Roman Catholic say something very simmilar when describeing the sacraficial aspect of Mass. He said that Mass did not sacrafice Christ anew each time but simply tapped into the eternal sacrafice, happening as you say Mike, beyond time. Seems there is yet another area where we thought the wadi was deep and wide between SDA and RC and with investigation its a mere weak brook.

(then again, maybe there is no such thing as outside of time, but thats an entire different question...)

Hello Thomas,


Was this Roman Catholic expressing a layman's opinion, or the official creed of Roman Catholicism?



Not sure who you mean by we, or to which investigation you refer. Please clarify - perhaps you are only stating your personal opinion?

Do you favour of the return of all protestants to the Mother Church of Rome?

Hello Gordon.
I do not know for sure, but the answer could be that Roman Catholics are as divided as are SDA on most any question.
Maybe my post should be read in context of other posts? Maybe it also relates to other posting trends at the forum? And what is this Mother Church of Rome you speak about? There is a Mother Church there?

Depending on the timing of those posts, that very well could have happened, therefore, if this is the more appropriate thread to discuss it, you could direct that person to this thread, but if not, then you could repost your response into the appropriate thread.
