“Wha...? Where in the Bible does it say that Christ and someone/others intercede with the Father?”

No. Christ intecedes. Others - because of Christ - share in that work with Him. Much like how Christ AND THE SAINTS will judge the earth at the end of time.

“Once again, and I’m quoting scripture — “...no one comes to the Father but by me.””

Right. Without Christ this would be impossible. With Christ, it is possible.

“Seems pretty cut and dried. Christ ONLY.”

Christ only - and those whom He allows to share in His work. Just like the idea that Christ will judge us - with the saints.

Where does it say that Christ allows others to share in the intercession for our sins?

We will judge with Him in the Second Coming, true. But to equate this “sharing” when it’s plainly stated in the New Heavens and New Earth to Mary, et. al., “sharing” with Christ in the intercession for our sins is a non-sequitur.

I was accused of stretching, but this really is. Two separate issues. One plainly spelled out (end times judging) and intercession for sins, other prayers.
