When Moses was told to strike the rock once, he disobeyed & struck it twice. (and for this sin of disobedience he was denied entrance into Canaan and instead would taste of death).
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he
said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the
water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank,And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify
me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this
congregation into the land which I have given them.
Numbers 20:10-12
The Rock was a symbol of our Redeemer.
And did all drink the same spiritual drink:

| False Doctrine of the Mass-- Same mistake Moses made.....striking the "Rock" more than once |
for they drank of that spiritual
Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:4
The Rock was supposed to be struck once as a symbol of Christ the Rock being sacrificed once.
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for
him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 9:28
We no longer need to bring a "sacrifice"...but rather we simply ask for forgiveness...for the actual sacrifice has been made....
So the problem with the Mass is that they believe Christ (the Rock) is being crucified over & over again each time the Mass is performed....So yes, the Mass is WRONG
