Away, you sons of Antichrist!

(adapted from Spurgeon's sermon, "The Putting Away of Sin" #911. Hebrews 9:26.)
There is not a word anywhere in Scripture about any renewed and repeated sacrifice by Christ. The Romanists tell us that they continue to present the sacrifice of Christ in the unbloody sacrifice of the mass. But this is a mere invention of their priests! Away, you sons of Antichrist!
"Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself." Hebrews 7:27
"He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption." Hebrews 9:12
"Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself." Hebrews 9:26
"so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." Hebrews 9:28
"...we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Hebrews 10:10
"But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God." Hebrews 10:12
