Is He the mediator between myself and Him....if He is the one I'm trying to reach, how can He be the mediator???
1 Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus ... One is less than many or two. If you don’t believe the Bible, The Word of God, you can be led to believe things like a priest can bring Jesus The Christ down from Heaven and place Him on a catholic altar in a wafer, to be continually sacrificed, body, blood, soul and divinity. And that is ... blasphemy.
With that premise, you are saying that this:
1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
is not true...
The solution is NOT that when something doesn't make sense to you that you make something up to replace it that does make sense to you...
The solution is to keep on studying the scriptures because the answer will be in there...
You seem to forget that while Jesus was on earth, he was speaking to the Father who was in heaven...Like I said, they are one, but they are three...
The Catholic religion can not solve your problem...Only the scriptures can...
Because we don't need a mediator to get to the mediator.
Jesus told us to come to HIM. He invites us to come directly to Himself.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
“Is He the mediator between myself and Him (?)”
No. The scriptures show that Jesus is the only mediator between man and God the Father.
No mediator is needed between you and Jesus.
We can boldy go to the throne of grace and express our concerns and requests directly to Jesus.
Using a “mediator” such as Mary or long passed saints isn’t necessary or even possible.
Using a common sense knowledge (with wisdom supplied by the Holy Spirit) of the Bible will show how true and scriptural it is to go directly to Jesus without the stumblind blocks of uneeded entities.
