HI Tom,Edwin, always a pleasure. I know what you mean about reading Scripture in a different context. We are all blessed by each others faith. I have learned so much about my faith by looking at Scripture from another’s point of view. As far as your concordance (I hope I can say this in a non-offensive way), it was written by Protestants, who, would not want to promote a Catholic teaching that they did not agree with. Seeing only 3 references to intercession should be a first clue. Was this for the entire Bible? Old and New Testament? Certainly reading the OT would provide ample proof that God does use humans, angles, and saints for intercession. As I said it’s probably the most referred to subject in Scripture. God didn’t change the rules when Jesus came to us; He still uses us as intercessors, as He uses the saints. Revelations appears to me to refer to saints in heaven and not on earth. I’m at work at this moment and don’t have my Bible handy, but truly, you can’t read Scripture and not see intercession. It’s in every book of Scripture. Most Protestants would like to minimize the use of intercession to any other than Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but God uses us all.
May the peace and love of our Lord, Jesus the Christ be with you

It is good to see your name on a post.
Yes my bible has 3 for intercession, and one each for intercede and intercessor. If you have time , maybe you can just put the references ( not the quotes) of some truly catholic style intercessions. Then I can mulll over them.Yes, I believe in Revelations that it is in heaven. I sense you are speaking on a wider scale. Do you mean God uses anyone to convey a message. This is a frequent happening in my life. And there is always some little hint of something to make your ears prick up and say, O it is Jesus on the line, message coming in. For that type of intercession ( or intervention) the sky is the limit. Is there a pun in there, Jesus said this evil race want a sign in the sky. I running off at the fingers a bit here.Best I go.
Christ be with you Tom
walk in love
