Intercession of the Saints: Christ is the Only Mediator?

Does 1 Timothy 2:5 prohibit asking saints to pray for us? Many Protestants claim Christ being the "one mediator" means we can't ask saints in heaven for intercession. But what does Scripture actually teach?
In this video, we dive deep into 1 Timothy 2:1-5 to show how context completely changes the meaning. Paul commands Christians to intercede for others in the same passage where he calls Christ the "one mediator" - so which is it?
We'll explore:
✅ The true meaning of Christ's unique mediation through the Incarnation
✅ Why Paul's logic supports rather than denies intercession
✅ Biblical proof that saints in heaven are alive, not dead
✅ How angels already intercede for us according to Jesus
✅ Why the Trinity parallel destroys the Protestant argument
This isn't about bypassing Christ - it's about understanding how His incarnation and cross make all Christian intercession possible!
KEY SCRIPTURES:

1 Timothy 2:1-5 (main passage)
Luke 20:37-38 (saints are alive)
Matthew 18:10 (angelic intercession)
James 5:16 (power of righteous prayer)
