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.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 11:8

Remember, the passover sacrifice was not complete until the lamb was consumed. With fundamentalists, there is no consuming of The Lamb.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 7:17

Fight it out with God, Garee. He's the one who said to eat the lamb:
When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border,
as He hath promised thee,
and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh,
because thy soul longeth to eat flesh;
thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
Deuteronomy 12:20

And Jesus was the one Who said if we do not eat His flesh and drink His blood we cannot have eternal life:
Labour not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of man shall give unto you:
for Him hath God the Father sealed.

John 6:27

Case closed.
( As it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Luke 2:23

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.
And thus shall ye eat it;
with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand;
and ye shall eat it in haste:
it is the LORD's passover.

Exodus 12:11

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.
He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone,
and in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Revelation 2:17

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".
And they overcame him [the accuser] by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:11
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.
Who hate the good, and love the evil;
who pluck off their skin from off them,
and their flesh from off their bones;
Who also eat the flesh of My people,
and flay their skin from off them;
and they break their bones,
and chop them in pieces,
as for the pot,
and as flesh within the caldron.
Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but He will not hear them:
He will even hide His face from them at that time,
as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

Micah 3:2-4

By "belittle Jesus' flesh" do you mean, make thin little wafers and call them it?

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.
And now, Israel,
what doth the LORD thy God require of thee,
but to fear the LORD thy God,
to walk in all His ways,
and to love Him,
and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart
and with all thy soul,
to keep the commandments of the LORD,
and His statutes,
which I command thee this day for thy good?

Deuteronomy 10:11-12

`Paul

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
