Prayer/Intercession

* For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5

* For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:15

* Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25

* In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Romans 8:26-27

* The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

* But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. Matthew 9:6

How do you explain the discrepancy between the Quran which says that there is no intercession, and Muhammad who claims he can intercede on our behalf?
