Thats.... not at all what it says. Praying for our leaders and others around us is not "mediating" for them. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)
It's actually one of your cults favorite words, "intercession" aka praying to GOD on their behalf. (Not your misinterpretation of the word intercession thinking it means to pray TO them)
There is only one mediator. Which is 1 Timothy 2:5, *after* he tells us to pray for others, not before. You should probably read the Bible more.
Protestants - there's only one mediator between God and man, no one else -
Paul literally in the next verse - Timothy mediate for kings, rulers, and princes (1 Timothy 2:1)
Protestants - but you said it's only Jesus 😭😭😭😭
Paul -
