1 Timothy
2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.
Is anyone else, such as mary, biblical? If so, please show scripture because I have not found one yet. Thanks!

I think you pretty much summed it up with that scripture right there girly! That and when Jesus ascended into Heaven he left his holy spirit to guide us...the trinity...the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost.

Mary is not a mediator. She is an intercessor, just as all Christians are. Mediation is defined as the service of a third party to repair a broken relationship between two other parties. The work of mediation was finished on the Cross, so Jesus is the only Mediator. But all Christians pray for one another, therefore all Christians, both on earth and in heaven, are intercessors. Revelation describes those before the throne of God offering Him bowls of incense which are the prayers of the saints on earth. This is the work of intercession. The Apostles' Creed, a basic statement of universal Christian beliefs, mentions "the communion of saints", which is the interrelationship of the saints on earth with the saints in heaven.

In Christian practice, intercessory prayer is the act of one person praying for or on behalf of themselves or a personal situation. The prayer intercedes on behalf of the subject, believing that God will answer the prayer accordingly.
This is what Catholics do not mediator

Jesus Christ is our model of intercessory prayer. Jesus stands before God & Between Him and sinful man. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, Jesus Christ ( 1 Tim. 2:5) It is Christ who died and furthermore is also risen who is ever at the right hand of God (the Father), who also makes intercession for us (Rom. 8:34). therefore He is also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since he always lives to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:25).

That is just Timothy's opinion. You could write something else entirely different with regards to Jesus and God and it would be no less valid than Timothy - for the writers of the bible were not at all unlike you.

THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND
God, Preachers,priest,other people say you must
believe in them,to be saved by God,
Any man can pick up a Bible and say he is the
lite of God and to him only can you worship.
Be true to yourself and God .and he will love you all the days of your life,and in heaven you will
dwell.

No....you can not pray to anyone other than Jesus and our Lord
"I am The Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." (Exodus 20:2-3)

Ain't no one standing between me and my God. Don't need a mediator.

Well then don't pray for anyone else, or ASK anyone to pray for you.
That could be considered a form of mediation.
I hope you see the point.
God bless!
