President Kimball once said that he is the liaison between man and God; however, 1 Timothy 2:5 says, "For there is ... ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." Isn't this a bit contradictory?

There is no one between man and God. For any person to claim that they are the conduit between man and God interferes with man's relationship with God. For any man with or without the backing of his religion to claim otherwise is the work of man and not trustworthy and probably the devil too. And yes, I have never been comfortable with the Catholic ritual of confession to a priest, but I don't think that the Pope claims to stand between man and God. (I may be wrong on that???)

Remember though the scripture 1 Tim 2:5 (Mentioned in the original question).

Jesus Christ is God. Part of the trinity...The Father The Son and The Holy Ghost. I see no problem in that either. Because Jesus is God and of God He does not stand between man and God.

That certainly bends the mind a bit.

I would just point out that, despite my challenge to do so, kona88 has never produced a reference to back up his assertion here. All that we have is his paraphrase of what he alleges President Kimball said. So, don't be so sure that this is really what he actually said.

Genesis 1:26 " And God said Let us make man in our image after our likeness." Who is God talking to when He says 'us', and 'our' in that verse? And the next verse 27 states "So God created man in his OWN image". First it was 'our' then goes to 'own'.?

If Jesus was God ... Then how can this be consistent with the following crystal clear statement in the bible: "He (God) is the only one who cannot die. He lives in light that no one can come near. No one has seen him, nor can they see him.[1 Timothy 6:16]
