We are all equally...sinners.

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

ONE MEDIATOR between God and men.
So how do people explain their attempts to put others as mediators between them and God?

We have ONLY ONE means of mediation.
Each of as INDIVIDUALS must accept Christ Jesus ALONE as our mediator.
We can ask for prayers from each other, but those prayers are for the ONLY MEDIATOR to intercede for us.  We cannot ask others to be our mediator- we cannot ask for mediators between us and Christ Jesus, there are NONE.  The mediator facilitates the way for reconciliation, and only ONE- Christ Jesus can bring reconciliation and Christ Jesus would have us come to HIM, not to any other.  Christ Jesus did NOT instruct His disciples to look to one another for salvation, but to look to Him for salvation. Yes, we are to pray for each other, and help each other but NEVER put each other, or any human whatsoever, upon a pedestal. We are truly ALL equal as sinners, every one of us! We cannot make any other person a sainted person, special in some unique way. Only GOD knows the hearts of men and only GOD knows the truth of what is within each of us. To put another person as special so as deserving honor and recognition is to say we know their hearts when we can't.  We don't have that power and we aren't expected to have that power. The most saintly seeming person in the entire world could in truth be the most deceptive in the art of satan's counterfeiting ways.  To ask such a one, a human being, to be mediator for us with God, with Jesus, is to be led astray by satan himself.

We are to PRAY to God the Father in Heaven and to Him alone, through the grace and mercy of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

We are NEVER to pray to another, not ever! To do so is to pray to a false god.


We must not be deceived!
