According to the misleading Protestant argument from Paul that there is "'''''only''''' one mediator" meaning "'''''only''''' one intercessor", therefore the Holy Spirit '''cannot''' make intercessions for us—because the Protestant interpretive [[Eisegesis|eisegetical]] reading of 1 Timothy 2:5 says, "For there is one God, and there is one '''intercessor''' between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." I was taught that same interpretation when I was a Baptist during my tweens and teens years. That interpretation of "only one intercessor between God and men" contradicts 1 Timothy 2:1-4. (That was not their only error, as I found out when I got deeper into reading the Bible.)

And this radical union with Christ and with the other members of the Body of Christ does not cease at death. Romans 8:35-38 tells us, among other things, “neither death nor life… shall be able to separate us from the love of Christ.” Thus, those alive on earth can still benefit from—they are still connected to—the other members of the Body of Christ in heaven.
