There is no intercessor but Jesus the Son

Perhaps you should actually read the Bible, instead of having it read to you, and learn the difference between intercessor and mediator.

"I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:" 1 Timothy 2:1

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

"Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me." Acts 8:24

"Brethren, pray for us." 1 Thessalonians 5:25

"Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will, in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding:" 1 Colossians 1:9

et al

I'll intercede on your behalf; as I'm sure other intercessors will also, and pray to the Mediator that the veil of ignorance which covers your mind be lifted.

You bet...That's where you learn that Mary and the dead Saints are Mediatrixes, Mediaries and Co-Reemers as espoused by your religion...Oh, you don't learn that from reading scripture??? Where then do you get it from???

That these co-Gods are also referred to as innercessionists by your religion, one has to be careful when using the word innercession...

But then you immediately jump to 1 Timothy 2:5. You neglected to post what Paul says prior to this passage:

Before Paul's teaching about Jesus as the "one mediator," Paul urges supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people. Paul is thus appealing for mediation from others besides Christ, the one mediator. Why? Paul addresses this in 1 Tim 2:3 - because this subordinate mediation is good and acceptable to God our Savior. Because God is our Father and we are His children, God invites us to participate in Christ's role as mediator.
