Is God so powerless that you need intermediary between God and man?
Liggett333
No. God is "the Alpha and the Omega...who is, and who was, and who is to come." (Rev. 1:8). Psalm 66:3 states that God's power is awesome, and that His power is so great, His enemies cringe before Him. Jesus also points out in Matthew 6:5-14 that no intermediary to God is necessary - He teaches us how to pray directly to God, between only you and him. In fact, the Lord's power is so awesome and unparalleled, He knows what you need before you ask Him (Matt. 6:8).

What does a intermediary do?
A Intermediary is the same thing as a mediator. I Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus". A mediator is a connecting link between two parties who want to come to an agreement. In the case of I Timothy 2:5 talking about Salvation Jesus Christ was the connecting link between God and men. Jesus was the perfect mediator as he possessed the nature and attributes of God (He was the Son of God and God Himself) and He (Jesus) was fully a Human Being. Jesus was the God/Man and so was the perfect Mediator. He mediates peace between God and any man who comes to God through Jesus Christ.

Where did Logos Christology originate?
Logos is a Greek word often translated as "word" but having a wider meaning, to include an argument from reason, and thus the reason that pervades the universe.Philo of Alexandria (20 BC - 50 CE), a Hellenised Jew, used the term logos to mean the creative principle. The Platonic concept of imperfect matter made the material world inaccessible to God and so he taught that the logos was necessary as an intermediary between God and his creation.Jesus was also seen by early Christians as the intermediary between God and the people, so began to be identified with the Logos. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word(Logos) ... " clearly shows this influence.
