No one anywhere has a direct relationship with God the Father. All must come to the Father through Jesus Christ who is our intercessor.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
We are adopted into the family of God through faith in Christ Jesus. You either believe that the writers of the New Testament accurately communicated God's revealed word, or you don't. You either believe what Jesus said about Himself, or you don't.

I've never had a problem going straight to the source, nor for taking responsibility for my own thoughts, deeds, and actions.

I have no problem with Mike's verses showing me the way in, but once in, I'm in. The writer of Hebrews says this:

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

The way has been made thru Christ. But to paint the picture that you only talk to Jesus and then he passes it on to the Father isn't a good picture. This is leaning a little to heavy on the aspect of the three over the one in the three in one....

Neither do I mind the picture of Christ ever interceding for me. There's a lot of time I am heavily involved in my own "ish" to boldly go in. Glad he's there interceding for me. I DO need it.

If you haven't figured it out Miss H, I can be a mess and ain't ashamed to admit it.
