SORRY, BUT I JUST READ EVERY SCRIPTURE YOU POINTED OUT. NONE OF THEM SAY MARY IS AN INTERSESSER. THE BIBLE SAYS THERES ONLY 1 INTERSESSER BETWEEN GOD AND MAN THAT IS CHRIST.
ALSO ARE YOU FORGETTING WHEN ELIJAH APPEARED IN SPIRIT FORM TO JESUS AND HIS DECIPLES, JOHN HAD ALREADY BEEN BEHEADED. SO HOW IS IT A CONTERDICTION TO SAY AS JESUS SAID JOHN WAS ELIJAH? YOU ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DECIPLES IDENTIFIED HIM AS ELIJAH AND NOT JOHN. BUT REMEMBER JESUS TOLD HIS DESIPLES JOHN WAS ELIJAH.
ILL ASK YOU A BETTER QUESTION? HOW WOULD JESUS DECIPLES HAVE KNOWN IT WAS ELIJAH? NONE OF THEM EVER SAW ELIJAH OR EVEN A PICTURE. THE ANSWER IS EASY THEY SAW JOHN, AND REALIZED HE WAS ELIJAH.

What is an INTERSESSER?

I DONT SPELL GREAT BUT IM NOT A STUPID MINDLESS ROBOT EITHER. YOU KNOW THE CATHOLIC DOCTRINE OF MARY IS BASED ON THE APOCHRIPHA. ITS NOT BASED ON THE BIBLE. NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE BUT THERE ARE SOME CASES OF REINCARNATION IN THE BIBLE. I DONT BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION AS TAUGHT BY THE NEW AGE. BUT SOME FORMS ARE IN THE BIBLE IN MANY PLACES. I DONT BELIEVE IN ONE TRUE CHURCH, ONLY SAVED PEOPLE MAKE UP THE TRUE CHURCH. I KNOW MORE THAN YOU WISH TO KNOW ABOUT THE BIBLE AND CHURCH HISTORY. SO LETS NOT FIGHT, BUT I DONT THINK YOU SHOULD STICK WITH CHURCH TRADITION IF TRADITION IS WRONG. JESUS SAID YOU WORSHIP HIM IN VEIGN IF YOU TEACH TRADITIONS OF MEN.

Dear Tony,
OK, I won't worry about the spelling. I'm not the greatest speller either, but before we can communicate we need to agree on the meaning of our words. Please tell me what you mean by intercessor?
Sincerely,
Fr. Phil Bloom
