Question Answer Explanation
WHO IS OUR MEDIATOR? Timothy 2:5-6
There is one God and one mediator
between God and mankind, the man Christ
Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all
people.
In old testament period, it’s true that Godly men (Abraham, Moses, Esra., etc) prayed to God for
people as mediator. Jesus death removed the veil between common people and God and allowed
to pray directly instead of going thru inter mediators.
Matthew 27:50-51a
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the
curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom
Hebrews 10:19-20
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the
new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT
SAINTS?
Romans 10:15
And how can anyone preach unless they are
sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the

Hebrews 13:7
Remember your leaders, who spoke the
word of God to you. Consider the outcome
of their way of life and imitate their faith.
We need to honor and respect Godly people and Saints. We should not worship them and should
not use them as mediator between God and us. Nowhere in the new testament is it being followed
by early believers and Christians.

and will raise when Christ come again.
The saints who are died in Christarein sleeping mode and cannot hear our prayers and they are all
waitingfor Christ Second Arrival to rise up. But Godly people can pray for one another until we live
[James 5:16] which is what God’s ultimate plan.
1 Corinthians 15:52-54a
In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will
be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the
imperishable and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,
