Their Praise was their Sacrifice (part 6)

The Early Church understood praise, not the Lord’s Supper, to be the sacrifice of the New Covenant (Hebrews 13:15).
The Early Church understood praise, not the Lord’s Supper, to be the sacrifice of the New Covenant (Hebrews 13:15).

We continue this week with our analysis of Malachi 1:11 as understood by the Early Church. This series is a response to The Sacrifice Challenge, a challenge issued by Roman Catholic apologists who believe that the only possible fulfillment of Malachi 1:11 is Roman Catholicism’s sacrifice of the Mass. The Early Church, however, saw the sacrifice and incense of Malachi 1:11 to be “simple prayer from a pure conscience,” not a sacrifice of bread and wine.

Their Praise was Their Sacrifice (part 3)

This series is a response to The Sacrifice Challenge, a challenge issued by Roman Catholic apologists who believe that the only possible fulfillment of Malachi 1:11 is Roman Catholicism’s sacrifice of the Mass. The Douay Catechism, as well as many Roman Catholic apologists, holds that “All the … Fathers, … of the primitive ages, teach that the mass is the self same sacrifice of bread and wine that had been instituted by our Saviour,” and is the fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy that “in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering.” As we have demonstrated in the last two weeks, Rome’s claims are wholly inconsistent with the data.
