Jesus is indeed our advocate...and mediator {1 tim 2:5} and intercessor {heb 4:14}...yet so is the holy spirit {john 14}...and the holy spirit is our intercessor {Rom 8:27}...Jesus in John 14 clearly says “another” advocate...how long have you had issues understanding the word “another”???

Oh? And you have to add to scripture?

1Ti 2:5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

Now your theology throws someone else in there...kind of like Marianism...

Who to believe?

“Who to believe?”


We believe the scripture, not the stupid sophistry put forward by religious cults which destroy, apparently, not just the soul, but the mind as well.

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
(Rom 8:26-27)

The mediation between Christ and the Father occurs in heaven, and the basis of it is His blood spilled for us on the cross. The intercession of the Holy Spirit is within our own hearts, and in helping us to pray, and in all the other gifts that He applies to us, as He is our aid and comfort.
