(Hislop's The Two Babylons) Althoughaccepting money for masses began during the seventh or eighth century,it did not become universal until the twelfth century .Doctrine of the "Mass" DeniesJesus Who Bought Them withHis Shed Blood2 Pet . 2 :1, Dy "But there werealso false prophets among thepeople, even as there shall beamong you lying teachers whoshall bring in sects of perditionand deny the Lord who boughtthem : bringing upon themselvesswift destruction."1 Cor. 6 :20, Dy "For you arebought with a great price . Glorifyand bear God in your body ."Impaling Christ Afresh Is SinningAgainst LightHeb . 6 :4-6, Dy "For it is impossiblefor those who were onceilluminated, have tasted also theheavenly gift and were madepartakers of the Holy Ghost, havemoreover tasted the good word ofGod and the powers of the worldto come, and are fallen away : tobe renewed again to penance,crucifying again to themselvesthe Son of God and making hima mockery ."Jesus Made One Sacrifice,Which Never Needs a"Renewal"Rom . 6 :9, 10, Dy "Knowing thatChrist, rising again from thedead, dieth now no more .
