[Dr. Eckleburg]

The Christian can pray, "My God, save me." But in the prayer, "My God, for the sake of the prayers of Thy saints, save me," there is more sincerity, more humility, a depth of feeling and a complete defence against pride creeping in if the prayer is successful, a firm foundation for spiritual advancement.

lol. Where in God's creation does this foolishness come from?

In this way, prayer to God, addressed via the holy God-pleasers, stands nearer, closer, to God, and it throws a bridge over the abyss that exists between God and sinners, it humbles the soul of the sinner himself and invokes upon him the good pleasure of God.

This is so unScriptural as to be blasphemous. "The holy God-pleasers"???

What is difficult to understand about the fact...

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" -- 1 Timothy 2:5

Hebrews 4:
14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

foolishness

But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.

(1 Cor 2:14)

What is difficult to understand about [1 Timothy 2:5]

... or, to that matter, about 1 Timothy 2:1:

I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men

Amen!

What a great way to start the day, with the simple, uncomplicated truth. We need JESUS not a bunch of dead people.
