Revision as of 13:37, August 25, 2020
, 13:37, August 25, 2020→Debate: Is the Roman Catholic doctrine of grace biblical: minor revision - corrected link
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.)

A surface reading of I Timothy 2:5 would seem to eliminate the idea of Christians “mediating” graces to one another: “There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ.” Protestants will argue, “If Jesus is our one mediator, then Christ alone mediates grace. In saying anyone else can, Catholics are usurping and thereby denying Christ’s singular role as mediator. That’s blasphemy!”
