Jesus Christ is our only 'mediator' as stated by St. Paul. 480 Jesus Christ is true God and true man, in the unity of his divine person; for this reason he is the one and only mediator between God and men. Jesus represents those who have placed their trust in Him before God’s throne of grace. The object of the mediatorship is here pointed out as the salvation of mankind , and the imparting of truth about God . "For there is one GOD, and one Mediator between GOD and men, Himself man, Christ Jesus." St. Paul writes to Timothy (I Tim., ii, 3-6) . June 3, 2011. 1Timothy 2:5. Without a mediator, we are destined to spend eternity in hell, for by ourselves salvation from our sin is impossible. "God our Saviour, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The Catholic Understanding of the Saints: Isn’t Christ the ‘One Mediator’? "There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all" (I Tm 2,5). But, actually, in a certain sense, this question really contains a number of other questions rolled up into one: Isn’t Christ the “one mediator between God and man” (1 … 481 Jesus Christ possesses two natures, one divine and the other human, not confused, but united in the one person of God's Son. For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times." “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) They assert that when we ask saints and angels to intercede for us, we’re making them mediators between us and God, thereby usurping the role of the one legitimate mediator… . “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times." . 618 The cross is the unique sacrifice of Christ, the "one mediator between God and men".But because in his incarnate divine person he has in some way united himself to every man, "the possibility of being made partners, in a way known to God, in the paschal mystery" is offered to all men. Yet there is hope! Non-Catholics like to point out this verse to Catholics (out of context of course), as they mistakenly perceive that we 'mediate' through His mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.Nothing could be further from the truth. 1. 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.

This is a hugely important question. For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: one God.
