He Tried to Debunk Intercession… And Erased Half the Bible!

"If Jesus is our only mediator, why do we ask the saints to pray for us?" It’s one of the most frequent objections raised against apostolic Christianity, but as Sam Shamoun demonstrates in this explosive exchange, the objection actually backfires and dismantles the entire narrative of Scripture. When a caller challenges the need for intercessory prayer, Sam points straight to the Old and New Testaments to expose the fundamental misunderstanding behind the question. If God can do everything directly through Christ, why did the Almighty repeatedly command and require human beings to intercede on behalf of others throughout redemptive history? From Moses standing in the breach to turn away God's wrath from wiping out Israel (Exodus 32, Psalm 106:23), to Abraham pleading for Sodom, to Job praying for his friends so they wouldn’t be judged—Scripture is saturated with God choosing to work through human intermediaries. As Sam hilariously points out, taking this objection to its logical conclusion practically obliterates the Bible itself, because the entire biblical narrative is about the Sovereign God choosing to condescend, cooperate with His creation, and move through the prayers of His people.
