“When you look at the entire sentce it is not saying that Jesus is the only mediator, it is actually saying that Jesus was the single mediator that died for our sins. There can be otehr mediators, but none of them was able to die for our sins.”

Jesus Christ indeed is the mediator of the New Covenant.

... If you are going to make the argument that others are mediators, please show where the Greek word for mediator is used of another Christian, of of an angel.
... I know of nowhere in the Scriptures that says Mary or a departed believer, or an angel prays for us.

... I think it is also worth your inquiry to find a direct command to Christians that they should pray to anther Christian or angel. We do have the example in It’s a Wonderful Life, but of course, that isn’t Scripture.

... It is also worth noting here that CHRIST Himself continues to pray for us.
... It is also worth noting that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don’t know what to pray.

Blessings to you.
