Jesus is the Only Mediator (High Priest) 1Tim.2:3 -7

Paul was refuting a false doctrine of the Gnostics when he said. "There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
The Gnostics taught that there were countless intermediaries between man and God but this was a false doctrine. Just as their doctrine that only a select few with special knowledge could be saved was wrong.

I believe this verse also refutes the Roman Catholic doctrine that proclaims Mary is a mediator between God and Man.
I believe they have erroneously exalted Mary to a position that is not scriptural.
I also feel their prayers to the apostles and saints is a form of idol worship.
Only someone with a sinless blood sacrifice can be a mediator.
Old Testament priests were a type (symbol) of the true mediator in heaven.

I'm not saying that many Roman Catholics aren't saved because many of them are.
But I disagree with some of their doctrines such as
1. transubstantiation
2. worship of Mary
3. worship of the saints
4. the Pope speaking as God (excathedra)
5. Purgatory
6. salvation through the keeping of sacraments.
May the Lord help us to stand against the false doctrines in the world, and in the Church. But help us to do it lovingly and not too critically , so we can win people to Him rather than drive them away with arrogant debates.
