Sarang: That still doesn't answer the question. And it is not reasonable to conclude Jesus is Michael because there is no where in scripture it says so. What you have done so far is allude that Jesus is Michael. So, I will ask again, CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW US IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT STATES THAT JESUS IS MICHAEL OR MICHAEL IS JESUS AND/OR THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON. However, scripture has made it abundantly clear that: 1. Revelation 17:14 = These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. This verse in Revelation clearly shows that Jesus Christ is the "Lord of lords and King of Kings" and is far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things but also in that to come (Ephesians 1:21) 2. And unlike Michael who did not dare condemn the Devil with insulting words but said, "The Lord rebuke you" in Jude verse 9. It shows Michael didn't have authority over the devil. Now read Matthew 4:10 and compare that with Jude 9. Jesus rebuked and commanded satan with authority. Please explain why that is. 3. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16, you misread the verse to mean that Jesus is an archangel - na wa oh. The verse is very simple and it is describing Jesus coming with the sound of an arch-angel. It means like God;s trumpet will herald the coming of the Lord and not that the Lord is an arch-angel. None of the verses you attempted to use as proof-texts even comes close to stating that Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel. In fact, scripture clearly teaches the opposite: namely, that the Son of God is SUPERIOR to the angels. The entire first chapter of Hebrews us devoted to this theme. I will add emphasis for your attention: [b]Hebrews 1:1-9: 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.[/b] Verses 4 and 5 clearly states the difference in name, position and authority between Jesus the Christ and any other angel including Michael. Verse 8 even goes forward to decree Jesus as God, but that is another topic for another time Another point is that angels throughout the Bible has consistently refused worship, that goes for all angels including archangel Michael. Please refer to Revelation 22:8,9. However, Hebrews 1:6 clearly states without any guessing or alluding that Jesus is to be worshipped by all Angels. It didn't say Michael should be worship because it makes no sense for angels to worship angels. Only God is to be worshipped and Christians view Jesus as God which coherently interprets the verse. However, the JW Bible has changed Hebrews 1:6 in 1970 from "worship him" to "do obeisance to him". This is part of JW consistent campaign to eliminate from their Bible all references to the deity of Christ. It is God that will judge your leaders for manipulating, adding and subtracting from His Holy word. I will ask again - CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW ME IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT CLEARLY STATES THAT JESUS IS ARCHANGEL MICHAEL. I have used scripture to show you where it clearly states that Jesus is not Michael and Michael is not Jesus. All you have done is copied and pasted what is on jw.org about this subject. I eagerly await your response 3 Likes 1 Share |

goodnews201668: JW teaches Jesus was created. You refer to Colossians 1:15 because of the word "first-born". Paul use of the word "first-born" was to show pre-eminence. First born doesn't mean first created. You guys do this because it is consistent with your theological presupposition that Jesus is a created thing. A simple example is used in Psalm 89:20, 27 - it says "20 . I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him. 27. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth". The question then is - was David the first-born king. As you can see, David, who was the last one born in his family, was called the firstborn by God. This is a title of preeminence. Scripture best interprets Scripture. Firstborn does not require a meaning of first created as the Jehovah's Witnesses say it means here. "Firstborn" can mean the first born person in a family, and it can also be a title of preeminence which is transferable. In addition, He is the pre-eminent one in all things. The Jehovah's Witnesses should consider this when they examine Col. 1:15. They should also abandon the Watchtower which guides them in their thinking and believing. Read the Bible and stop depending on theology from some old men in New York that you don't even know by name 2 Likes |

goodnews201668:Really? Then are you saying these scriptures are wrong? 1 Timothy 2:5English Standard Version (ESV) 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus.. What's does the Man Jesus Christ mean to you? Rev 22:16 kjv “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID, the bright morning star.” What does the statement "I Am the root and the offspring of David.." mean to you? "I am" present tense not "I was". Offspring of David makes Him still a Man and that was why He used the present tense "I AM" because He's still the Man Jesus not an angel. Home work for you: How can He be both the root and the offspring of David? If you can understand this you will understand why He is God and calls God the Father my God. |

Lie Lie barristter The history of the Jehovah's Witnesses from its founder Charles Taze Russell on is filled with a long list of failed false prophecies, changed doctrines and ruined lives! The organization headquarters is a clear and definite example of a false prophet, a ferocious wolf in sheep's clothing: jehovah's witnesses bible new world translation Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. (Mat 7:15) jehovah's witnesses answeredHence, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is a dangerous enemy to God's truth and to SOULS! They are diabolical deceivers and have gone so far as to conveniently produce their own so-called translation of the Bible, which they call The New World Translation. The foremost feature of the Jehovah's Witness Bible is supposed to be the restoration of the divine name Jehovah, but in reality it is a dark perversion of God's word where words are changed, added or omitted to alter the meaning according to Watchtower doctrine! WARNING: Do NOT be influenced by the NWT. It is NOT reliable or consistent. It is a satanic tool and on a par with the Book of Mormon and Koran. So, is God's name Jehovah? Not according to the evidence!

dolphinheart:have you read your answers? Does it even make sense to you? I've given you those scriptures and comparisons bcs Jesus did what God alone can do. And please Jesus was never addressed as our Father because it was through Him eternal life came from. John 15 Christ called the apostles brethren. We are joint -heirs with Him. He asked us to call God Father. Where did you get that info from. Give me one scripture that says Jesus was called Father? He's everlasting Father same us God. Micah 5:2(ISV): As for you, Bethlehem of Ephrathah, even though you remain least among the clans of Judah, nevertheless, the one who rules in Israel for me will emerge from you. His existence has been from antiquity, even from eternity. And He's the Mighty God. Wanted to see if you guys interpret it as mighty god. You don't even know what you are doing. Satan is always limited in his wisdom. |
