Is Jesus is the only mediator between God and man?

[Boxer]

Hello, a Baptist friend and I are debating on confession he quoted the below quotes how can I answer them?

I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Jesus is the only mediator between God and man, according to this scripture.
