Why the “Sacrifice of the Mass” Does Not Align with the Sacrifices Taught by God in the Bible?

Torah Perspective

From the Law of Moses, the Catholic Mass as a “sacrifice” does not correspond to the requirements of Mosaic sacrificial law. The Torah established strict regulations:

1. In the Torah there was a Specific Place.
Moses told that Sacrifices were to be offered only at the sanctuary chosen by God—ultimately the Temple in Jerusalem (Deuteronomy 12).

2. Specific Priesthood: The
Offerings were to be administered exclusively by the Aaronic priesthood, descendants of Aaron, not by a general clergy.

3. Specific Altar and Rituals
Animal, grain, drink, and incense offerings followed detailed procedures commanded by God.

4. Blood Atonement on Yom kippur.

Atoning sacrifices required blood handled in prescribed ways, emphasizing covenantal life through blood.

Because these regulations, the Mass which is being celebrated worldwide, outside the Temple, under a different priesthood, and without the prescribed rituals, it does not conform to Mosaic sacrificial law.

What is Catholic Justification:

The Catholic Church does not claim to follow Mosaic regulations. Instead, it teaches that the Mass is:

• Part of the New Covenant
• The fulfillment and completion of sacrifice in Messiah.
• A participation in Yeshua’s once-for-all offering.
Thus, Catholic theology argues the Mass transcends the old sacrificial system rather than violates it.

What is the Messianic / Torah-Observant View?

Messianic believers emphasize that Yeshua fulfilled the Temple sacrifices once and for all:

• Therefore No further sacrifices are needed because only one sacrifice conducted by Yeshua is enough for the forgiveness of sin.
Yeshua’s death was sufficient.

* The Torah never authorized anyone creating new forms of sacrifice.

• The Mass itself create risks of confusion because calling the Mass a “sacrifice” undermines the Torah and denies the once-for-all sacrifice of the Messiah.

• No spiritual legitimacy
Since the officiating priesthood is not Aaronic and the altar is not the Temple, the Mass cannot be considered a valid sacrifice according to Torah.

In conclusion:
The Catholic Mass does not align with Mosaic sacrifice because it fails to meet Torah requirements.

What are the requirements?

• The place (Temple in Jerusalem)
• The priesthood (sons of Aaron)
• The prescribed rituals and blood atonement.
Therefore, many Torah-observant believers see the Mass as contradictory and unauthorized.

What is Torah ? Other known as the first 5 Books of the Bible?

The Torah (Hebrew: “instruction” or “teaching”) is the foundational revelation given by God to Israel. It is most commonly known as the first five books of the Bible, also called the Pentateuch (a Greek term meaning “five scrolls”).

The Five Books of the Torah

These are traditionally attributed to Moses:

1. Genesis (Beresh*t – “In the beginning”)
Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, and the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob).
2. Exodus (Shemot – “Names”)
Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, the covenant at Sinai, and the giving of the commandments.
3. Leviticus (Vayikra – “And He called”)
Priestly laws, sacrifices, holiness, and how to live in God’s presence.
4. Numbers (Bamidbar – “In the wilderness”)
Israel’s journey in the desert and their testing as a nation.
5. Deuteronomy (Devarim – “Words”)
Moses’ final teachings, restating the Torah before entering the Promised Land.

What the Torah Really Means

Torah came from the root words “yarah” which means to hit the mark while sin chatta to missed the Mark its more than just “law.”

Torah includes:

* Instruction (how to live rightly before God).

* Covenant (God’s relationship with Israel).

* Revelation (God’s character and will)
* Foundation of all Scriptures (whole bible, everything else builds on it)

⸻
In a Messianic Understanding

From a Messianic perspective, the Torah:

* Points forward to the Messiah, Yeshua
* Reveals God’s righteousness and standard of living in the future Kingdom of the Messiah Yeshua.

* Torah Is not abolished, but fulfilled and correctly interpreted by Yeshua (Matthew 5:17)

Simple Summary:

The Torah is:

God’s divine teaching and covenant instructions, recorded in the first five books of the Bible, forming the foundation of faith, life, redemption, Gods standard of righteousness.

Why Yeshua (not Jesus) Is the True and original Name of Our King & Savior?

The Original Name

• The Messiah’s original Hebrew name is YESHUA (יֵשׁוּעַ), meaning “YHVH saves.”
• This name is rooted in Yehoshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ), the successor of Moshe (Moses).“
Adonai said to Yehoshua son of Nun, Moshe’s assistant…”
(Joshua 1:1, CJB).

Why Yehoshua became Yeshua?

• From Yehoshua → Yeshua: Yeshua is the shortened form of Yehoshua, both meaning “God saves.”

The Greek Translation
• When the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into Greek, YESHUA was rendered as “IESOUS” (INRI) (Ἰησοῦς).
• This was not a change in meaning, but a transliteration into Greek sounds and letters.

Why the name Shift into “Jesus”?

• In early English Bibles (like the 1611 King James Version), the name appeared as IESOUS, not Jesus. Why? Because The letter “J” not yet exist in English alphabet until the 16th century, introduced by Pierre Ramus in France.

• By the 17th century, the lette “I” and “J” were distinguished, and IESOUS became JESUS in English in English Bible.

This is the reason why the name , “Jesus” is a later linguistic development, not the original Hebrew name replaced by English Bible translator.

Why We Call our Savior as Yeshua, (Not Jesus)?

• Yeshua connects directly to the Hebrew roots of faith a Hebrew covenant identity of the Messiah.

• “Jesus” is a manmade adaptation with no direct link to the original Hebrew.
• As Yochanan (John) 4:22 reminds us:“Salvation comes from the Jews.”
The Messiah’s name is Hebrew, and His mission is covenantal.

Commandment Reminder

• Sh’mot (Exodus) 20:7 warns us not to misuse the Name of Adonai.
• Honoring the Messiah’s true name, YESHUA, is part of honoring the covenant.

Key Takeaway:

There is only one Name of our King Messiah: YESHUA.
It is the original Hebrew name meaning “YHVH saves.”
Translations and linguistic shifted as “Jesus,” but the covenant identity remains in Yeshua.

Theres Only One Name to be saved, not two.

Let s read :

““This Yeshua is the stone rejected by you builders which has become the cornerstone. There is salvation in no one else! For there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by whom we must be saved!””
‭‭Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua (Act)‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭CJB‬‬

Shalom.

What is Belivers Expected Covenant Response?

These are not “works to earn salvation,” but faithful obligations that show you are truly walking in it.

From a Messianic/Torah-centered view, here’s the balance:

1. Faith (Trust and Allegiance to Yeshua)

Everything begins here.

* Romans 10:9 — confess and believe
* Habakkuk 2:4 — “the righteous shall live by faith”

This is not just belief in facts—it’s loyalty to Him as King (Melech).

2. Repentance (Teshuvah – Turning Back to God)

You cannot walk in resurrection life while holding on to sin.

* Acts 3:19 — “Repent… that times of refreshing may come”
* True repentance means a change of direction, not just regret.

3. Obedience to God’s Commands (Torah Lived Through the Spirit)

This is where many misunderstand.

* Matthew 5:17–19 — Yeshua did not abolish the Torah
* John 14:15 — “If you love Me, keep My commandments”

The New Covenant promise (Jeremiah 31:33) is not removal of Torah, but:

* Torah written on the heart
* Empowered by the Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27)

So the obligation is:

* Not legalism
* But Spirit-led obedience

4. Walking in the Spirit (Not the Flesh)

* Romans 8:13–14 — those led by the Spirit are sons of God
* This is how righteousness becomes practical

The Spirit enables what the flesh could not do.

5. Holiness (Set-Apart Living)

* 1 Peter 1:15–16 — “Be holy, for I am holy”
* Coming into covenant means leaving pagan ways

For Gentiles, this was emphasized in:

* Acts 15 — turning from idolatry, immorality, and uncleanness

Then growing deeper in God’s ways over time.

6. Perseverance (Endurance in Faithfulness)

This is crucial and often overlooked.

* Hebrews 10:36 — “You need endurance”
* Matthew 24:13 — “He who endures to the end shall be saved”

The benefits are not for those who start only—but those who remain faithful.

7. Love and Unity (Especially Toward Israel and Fellow Believers)

* Romans 11 — Gentiles are grafted in, not replacing Israel
* John 13:35 — love proves discipleship

No arrogance, no replacement theology—only humility.

8. Bearing Fruit (A Transformed Life)

* John 15:5 — “Whoever abides in Me bears much fruit”
* Fruit includes:
* Righteous character
* Obedience
* Impact on others

The Balance (Very Important)

There are two errors to avoid:

1. “Grace only, no obedience” → lawlessness

2. “Obedience earns salvation” → legalism

The truth is:

You are saved by grace, But grace produces obedience

Simple Summary:

To share in the benefits of Yeshua’s resurrection, a believer must:

* Believe (faith)
* Turn from sin (repentance)
* Walk in obedience (Torah through the Spirit)
* Remain faithful (endurance). Shalom.

WHAT ARE THE BENIFIT (FOR US) OF THE MESSIAH YESHUA’S RESURRECTION?

When Yeshua rose from the dead, He shared a covenant Torah blessings to the Jews forst and to all who believe, including Gentiles.

Here’s what was given:

1. New Life (Resurrection Life)

His resurrection means we are no longer spiritually dead.

* Romans 6:4 — “Just as Messiah was raised… we too might walk in newness of life.”
* This is not just future resurrection—it’s a transformed life now.

Gentiles are brought from death into life, just like Israel was brought out of Egypt.

2. Inclusion in the covenant, the Commonwealth of Israel

Before Messiah, Gentiles were outside the covenants.

* Ephesians 2:12–13 — once far off, now brought near.
* Through Yeshua, Gentiles are grafted into Israel’s promises, not replacing Israel but joining her.

This aligns with the prophetic vision:

* Isaiah 49:6 — salvation reaching the nations.

3. Forgiveness and Justification

The resurrection confirms that His atoning death was accepted.

* Romans 4:25 — “He was raised for our justification.”
* Sins are not just covered—they are forgiven and removed.

4. The Gift of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)

After His resurrection and ascension, the Spirit was poured out.

* Acts 2 (Shavuot/Pentecost)
* This fulfills Joel 2:28 — Spirit poured on all flesh.

Gentiles now receive the same Spirit given to Israel.

5. Power to Live Righteously (Torah Written on the Heart)

This is central to the New Covenant:

* Jeremiah 31:33 — Torah written on the heart
* Ezekiel 36:27 — Spirit causes obedience

Through the resurrection life of Yeshua:

* Sin is no longer master (Romans 6:14)
* We are empowered to walk in God’s ways

6. Adoption as Sons and Daughters

Gentile believers are not second-class.

* Romans 8:15 — Spirit of adoption
* We cry “Abba, Father”

You are brought into God’s family—heirs together with Israel’s faithful remnant.

7. Living Hope and Future Resurrection

Because He rose, we will rise.

* 1 Peter 1:3 — “a living hope through the resurrection”
* 1 Corinthians 15 — Messiah is the “firstfruits”

This ties directly to the Feast of Firstfruits (Leviticus 23), which prophetically points to His resurrection.

8. Authority Over Sin and Death

His resurrection broke the power of death itself.

* 2 Timothy 1:10 — death abolished
* Believers now share in His victory

Messianic Insight (Big Picture)

The resurrection of Yeshua is like a second Exodus, but greater:

* First Exodus → Israel freed from Pharaoh
* Resurrection → humanity freed from sin and death

And Gentiles are now invited into that redemption story—not as outsiders, but as fellow citizens in God’s Kingdom. Shalom.
