Hebrews calls Yeshua the "mediator" of the new covenant. Doesn't that make Him a created go-between, not God?

You are reading your Bible, which is exactly what we ask people to do, and the texts are real: Hebrews names Him the mediator three times, and 1 Timothy calls Him "the man Messiah Yeshua." Take them seriously, because they are true, and the humanity they affirm is not a problem to explain away. It is half the gospel. And the instinct is sound: a mere go-between, a created agent standing in the middle, would not be God.

So here is the correction, and it turns on what kind of mediator the new covenant has. Moses mediated by standing between two parties and carrying terms, and that covenant broke on the human side. This One does not stand between. He is both sides, the divine party who writes Torah on the heart and the faithful human party whose blood seals it, joined in one person. That is why Hebrews can call Him mediator and Jeremiah can still promise the end of distance in the same breath: a created mediator preserves the gap, but a mediator who is God-with-us closes it, because to meet Him is to meet God directly. "The man Messiah Yeshua" is the true humanity affirmed, not the deity denied.

Do not take it from me. Read 1 Timothy 2:5 alongside John 14:9, where He says that to have seen Him is to have seen the Father, and ask whether a created go-between could ever say that and be telling the truth.
