...only thru Jesus Christ? Why do you need another person like Mary or other Saints to intercede for you in heaven? Are we not bound to obey the salvation teaching thru Jesus Christ who is the only One who died for all of our sins?
Intercession should not be made to dead people - whether it be Mary or the Saints. How do you take this?

Mary and the saints are not essential for our salvation, but we do ask them to pray for us, just like you would ask your friends to pray for you. Since Our Lady and the saints are in heaven before God, they obviously can intercede much more easily and effectively than sinners here on earth.
 
Uh, the Bible says we should intercede for others:

"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." -- 1 Timothy 2:1-4
