Well if you have ever prayed for anyone else, the you have just contradicted yourself.

Impossible. My position was posting scripture and I didn't contradict it. Further, scripture says:

Jam 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

If you believe that scripture is contradicting itself then you are wrong because scripture can't contradict itself.

If you believe that scripture is contradicting itself then you are wrong because scripture can't contradict itself.

Careful because Scripture does contradict itself. A really glaring example is in St. Matthew "Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel." St. Matthew 27:9

That should have been applied to Zacharias 11:13

We have to accept that throughout the OT and the NT there are some differences. It doesn't mean that the Bible isn't God's word, but that there have been some human errors in it due to translations/language differences.

My point was that praying for someone does not contradict the claim that there is "one mediator between God and man". Likewise, having bishops in the Church does not contradict the claim that there is "one mediator between God and man". The New Testament itself shows that the Apostles appointed bishops in the various churches. The one mediator between God and man" passage is fully compatible with the existence of Apostles, bishops, and popes.
