This is true. I'd respond to epostle but he/she blocked me because he/she doesn't like having his own ccc and its glaring contradictions laid out for all to see. So i'll say this about multiple mediators. 1 Tim 2:5....One God and one mediator...eis theos eis mesites. The word 'eis' is one, but in this context it is one to the exclusion of all others; one God to the exclusion of all others. So eis mesites is; one mediator to the exclusion of all others. Paul wouldn't use eis in two different ways in the same breath. And mediator is not a synonym of prayer, intercession....Outside of Gal 3 which is a reference to Moses, mediator is used only of Jesus in the n.t. no one else. So no other mediator means exactly what you said. Which includes any so called co-mediators which the n.t. knows nothing of.I am not claiming that Catholics worship saints; but that they come to God through saints in heaven, thus making saints in heaven their mediators between God and men.
Thank you for giving me the last word. It indicates to me that you know that you cannot win this one.
Because it is clear that if there is one mediator between God and men, that there cannot be other mediators between God and men other than that one.
