Now, one has to ask, if the only acceptable sacrifice is the one offered at the cross, is God accepting these daily sacrifices also? And if not, to whom are they really being offered? Does this not then amount to breaking the requirement for Gentile believers NOT to eat things offered to idols?

No wonder the woman holds a cup of filthiness and fornications.
