contradicts and ultimately negates Scripture

If so, kindly cite it, because 1 Timothy 2 surely is not contradicted as that speaks of intercessory prayer in the same breath in which it proclames the sole mediatorship of Christ.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I can understand your not actually quoting 1 Timothy 2 because it in no way says what you'd like it to say.

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." -- 1 Timothy 2:1-2

That is Paul telling us to pray that men to come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and reminding us to give thanks always for God's grace.

It does not say to pray to anyone but the Triune God of creation.

"Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?"
