What is interesting is how the KJV bible worded Romans 8:34, afew other bibles have done it too, using (who also makes intercession) basically the KJV did not do a very good translation of that, if someone believes Jesus is the only Intercessor.
In just this short list it appears the KJV and the NASB both have the Intercessor as more than one, in saying (who also intercedes) that isn't a good translation IMO. the berean study bible says it properly (He is interceding for us)
You are applying "also" to mean another intercessor when it is in addition to the reference to Jesus being at the right hand of God.
Romans 8:[SUP]32 [/SUP]He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?[SUP] 33 [/SUP]Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.[SUP] 34 [/SUP]Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
The Holy Spirit is the Comforter as dwelling within us; Jesus has asceneded to teh right hand of God the Father to make intercessions for us in according to the will of God.
Consider His words on how the prayer system is set up.
John 14:[SUP]6[/SUP]
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Do you believe Jesus really meant that or did He forget about the Holy Spirit?
Let's look further....
John 14:[SUP]13 [/SUP]And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.[SUP] 14 [/SUP]If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
So it is the Son that answers prayers; He gives our intercessions, the Spirit's intercessions, and His own intercessions to the Father so that whenever the father says "Yes" to any of those intercession, the Son answers the prayers so that the Father may be glorified in the Son for answers to prayers as we are to give the Father thanks in Jesus's name.
1 Thessalonians 5:[SUP]17 [/SUP]Pray without ceasing.[SUP]18 [/SUP]In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Colossians 1:[SUP]3 [/SUP]We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
The Holy Spirit does have a part in the Son's answering the prayer, bt even the Holy Spirit gives all the credit and glory to the Son for answers to prayers, and by doing so glorify God the Father as well.
John 16:[SUP]13 [/SUP]Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.[SUP] 14 [/SUP]He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.[SUP]15 [/SUP]All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
So should our Bible keep in alignment with His words or not? Do they keep His words in testifying of teh Son in seeking His glory or does it decline from that testimony and cease to honor the Son in that way?
John 5:[SUP]22 [/SUP]For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:[SUP]23 [/SUP]That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.....
[SUP]39 [/SUP]Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
