According to 1 Timothy 2:2-6, the bible records that we have just one mediator between man & God which is Jesus Christ. It is also recorded in Hebrews 7:25 that he lives to make intercession for us. If all these are true, why do some people still pray through Mary to intercede on their behalf.
What do you think??

The first miracle happened through Mother Mary's intercession,it was not yet time for Jesus to start work,but Mary made him change his mind,we believe that he has a soft spot for his mother,so wen we r helpless we ask her to help out,it's not like he won't answer wen we ask directly,but her intercession wil speed things up,just like at Cana

Just show one account in the bible where any of the many disciples or apostles of Christ whom we also follow their godly pattern had to go through Mary to consult Christ whether before of after Christ ascended to heaven so you know the cana marriage incidence was just a chance occurance of which the man could have met Jesus directly & got the same result & so was not showing a pattern for us to follow.Mary was among the disciples in the upper room that waited for the holy Ghost baptism & among the early church brethren in the Acts of the apostles & their was nothing to show she was better than any of them or that they prayed through her.

Nothing in dis life was/is a chance occurrence,u might also say dat her giving birth to him was a chance occurrence,and ur saying she is no better dan d apostles is nt true,even the angel Gabriel,an angel hailed her,God planned everything which included our Lord's first miracle and His mother being a part of it,it could hv bn d apostles,but it wasn't dem,she was chosen

And dey dnt go thru Mary to consult Christ because dey wr christ's followers,Mary was/is blessed to b His mother and d apostles are blessed to b his apostles,she stil plays a major role in d whole thing cos without her thr wud b no Christ to follow by d apostles

And as for consulting Christ,we dnt go thru Mary to consult him,we consult him directly nd den ask Mary to help us out,jst like wen u r "toasting" ur sister's friend,it's not like u can't ask her out ur self,but if ur sister tells her abt u nd all,if she was plannin on playin hard to get,she will reconsider

To answer your question, no she is not. But she deserves the honour she gets because of her role in the salvation of mankind from sin. The only mediator between man and God as far as salvation is concerned is our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church does not teach that Our blessed Mother is a mediator...she is merely but an intercessor. You cannot love Christ and hate his Mother. Like justeenaleo pointed out Christ worked his first miracle through her intercession and if you believe she is in heaven with Christ what makes you doubt that she cannot also intercede for u.

She is not a mediator between humans and the father but she can serve as a mediator between humans and Jesus just like your pastors or anyone else.When she intercedes for us what she does is nor differant from what your pastors does when they pray for you.

God is not in want of choice.Without Mary He had millions of other choices whom to use.We are the disciples of christ today once truely saved.If the disciples then didn't need Mary (and NOT EVEN FOR ONCE) then we don't need her today.Its just man made church tradition & idolatry that puts a frown on Gods face.

yes He is not in want of choice but He chose Mary anyways just as He could have decided to make you a female but he made you male instead and dats for a reason and as for wether d disciples needed Mary...not everything is recorded in d bible and am sure you would have come across dat in d bible more than once and if you dont need her dear,i do need her and how do u knw it puts a frown on God's face to revere the Lady He had chosen to bring forth the saviour of d world,its just like you revere your pastors wife and your pastors mother so we revere the mother of our saviour,and am sure you wont be happy if someone says your pastors' wife or mother is irrelevant

I Timothy 2:5
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus."
The Bible is clear on that, probably not the Catholics?

Why quote only verse 5... You should have quoted from verse 1. Any I dont know where you get to know that catholics have more than 1 mediator to God. Even a five year old catholic will tell you that Christ is the only mediator between God and man. Mary and the saints are more like intercessors. Plz gt that.

Did he say the dead should intercede? You read it well and understand....
