Garee, you're right, I meant to say that the mass re-presents the same sacrifice, that already took place. Thus in merely re-presenting it, it is not re-sacrficing Him. But we do partake of that one sacrifice, in The Eucharist.
Remember, the passover sacrifice was not complete until the lamb was consumed. With fundamentalists, there is no consuming of The Lamb.
Fight it out with God, Garee. He's the one who said to eat the lamb:
And Jesus was the one Who said if we do not eat His flesh and drink His blood we cannot have eternal life:
Case closed.
The OT Passover was a shadow and type (or whatever fancy words the theologians use) of Christ the real deal; but they were still required to eat it, in obedience to God.
Per the verses you gave, Christ's blood does wash our sins away, and per the rest of the NT we are required to eat His flesh and drink His blood. His flesh isn't spiritual and His blood isn't spritual. If it was, He never would have had to come and die for us.
God loves matter (material things). We are made of matter, He became matter, He used matter (mud) to heal a man's eyes. Matter and flesh are GOOD things. God created them and said "they are good". When John 6 says "the flesh counts for nothing" it is referring to our carnal nature, not our flesh itself. "The flesh" was a Hebrew idiom for "the non-spirtual carnal nature".
Flesh is good. It was made by, and for, God. Period. Don't EVER EVER EVER criticize the flesh again. Don't EVER EVER EVER belittle Jesus's flesh again.
So anyways, God wants you to be a Catholic, and to try and interpret The Bible without The Catholic Church's guidance is to commit intellectual suicide.
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Isaiah 8:12
