Calvinists do not believe that the Mass is found in the Bible. They believe that the Mass is a Catholic invention that is not supported by Scripture.
Calvinists point to several passages in the Bible that they believe contradict the Catholic doctrine of the Mass. For example, in Matthew 26:28, Jesus says, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Calvinists understand this passage to mean that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was once and for all, and that there is no need for any further sacrifice.
Calvinists also point to passages such as Hebrews 9:25-28, which say that Christ does not enter the Most Holy Place every year to offer his own blood, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year by year with the blood of animals. For Christ did not enter man-made holy places, which were only a copy of the true one: he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. For then Christ would have to suffer many times over, from the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to take away sin by his own sacrifice.
Calvinists understand these passages to mean that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to pay the penalty for sin, and that there is no need for any further sacrifice.
In addition, Calvinists reject the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that the bread and wine of the Eucharist are transformed into the body and blood of Christ. Calvinists believe that the bread and wine remain bread and wine, but that they are symbols of Christ's body and blood.
Calvinists believe that the Lord's Supper is a memorial feast, in which believers remember and celebrate Christ's death and resurrection. They also believe that the Lord's Supper is a means of grace, through which believers receive strength and nourishment from Christ.
In conclusion, Calvinists do not believe that the Mass is found in the Bible. They believe that the Mass is a Catholic invention that is not supported by Scripture.
