With that post, you've completely changed the topic. That's not at all what we're discussing here. You questioned the phrase "Mother of God," I explained why that phrase came about using the "one mediator" argument, I defined mediator to show a difference between prayer and mediation.

I ask again ... is praying the same as mediation?

But since you did post this, I'll play along for a moment ... especially since this first one seems to be somewhat of a personal attack.

Maybe it's a good sign you're uncomfortable with the teachings of the RCC. I encourage you to keep reading Scripture and learn the truth.

Not uncomfortable at all. In fact ... the more I read the bible, the more I understand my faith.

Did Abraham benefit from something that passed through the hands of Mary?

Everyone throughout all ages has benefited from that which passed through Mary's womb ... Jesus Christ.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Everyone throughout all ages has benefited from that which passed through Mary's womb ... Jesus Christ.

But the point you overlook is that Abraham did not benefit from Jesus after He had "passed through the hands of Mary." Abraham benefited before that occurred.

Therefore he was not, and we are not "reconciled to God" by Mary or even with Mary's help, but by the work of Christ alone.
