Where does it teach in the Bible that Jesus is Michael the archangel? Why isn't Jesus called Michael right now since he is in heaven?

Why are people so in denial that they are searching for God and going the whole wrong way about it. No, I am not a JW, they are just another false cult or sect to keep your mind of the Truth.
The only wat to God is through Jesus Christ, put your trust in Him and the Holy Spirit will guide you into all wisdom and understanding, and you shall know without a doubt that Jesus Christ is God.
There are no religions, just one God. Because religion's are man made. You see when God created Man and Women, He also gave them free will. I am a Born-Again-Christian and I don't see myself as religious, but Christianity as a way of life.
You do come across, people, organisations, cults etc. who are specialists at making black look white, and truth look false. Nazis and Communists were cruel and satanically clever. We often underestimate the enormity of Cunning, satanically inspired people.
There is one thing though, you can't brainwash a Born-Again-Christian, because brain washing means to change a persons mind completely and permanently, and make his mind over to be totally dedicated to another, and different way of thinking. Therefore, the tactic is to "break a persons will" which can include, starvation, sleeplessness, brutality, unrelenting beatings, torture with all the fury to "break a man's will".

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses as opposed to 'JW'.I have been for ten years and contrary to what so many say on this website,Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult.They adhere to the Bible more than any other religion,and are the only religion to actually use God's name and tell others about Him.
Anyway,God's Word refers to Michael "the archangel".(Jude 9).This term means "chief angel."Notice that Michael is called THE archangel.This suggests that there is only one such angel.In fact,the term "archangel" occurs in the Bible only in the singular,never in the plural.Moreover,Jesus is linked with the office of archangel.Regarding the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ,1Thessalonians 4:16 states: "The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call,with an archangel's voice."Thus the voice of Jesus is described as being that of an archangel.This scripture therefore suggests that Jesus himself is the archangel Michael.
The Bible states that "Michael and HIS angels battled with the dragon......and its angels".(Rev.12:7)Thus,Michael is the Leader of an army of faithful angels.Revelation also describes Jesus as the Leader of an army of faithful angels.(Rev.19:14-16).And the apostle Paul specifically mentions "the Lord Jesus"and "his powerful angels."(2Thess 1:7;Matt.16:27;24:31;
1Peter3:22).
So the BIble speaks of both Michael and "his angels" and Jesus and "his angels."(Matt.13:41).Since God's Word nowhere indicates that there are two armies of faithful angels in heaven - one headed by Michael and one headed by Jesus- it is logical to conclude that Michael is none other than Jesus Christ in his heavenly role.

he has always been referred to as Michael,but if that's the case the Jesus/michael must have been there when god decided to create man,So he should have asked God why are you doing this as it will turn out as a terrible mistake,and in order to rectify this mistake I have to be born and die a horrid death on a cross to try and put it all right Which we know didn't make it so, because we are still fighting among our selves and all wars are caused by religion. Ifeel sorry for michael/jesus
P.S I'm not a j w or any other of the idiotic religions

I am a Jehovah's Witness. I agree completely with the above quote. A better place to have your questions answered is speaking to your local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Contrary to what people in these postings say, we will not try to convert you. Witnesses want everyone to have access to clear bible based answers to any questions they may have regarding God.

Because he is only referred to as Michael when he is fighting with satan. Look in Daniel at the description of Michael, then look in revelation.
Michael means prince of princes which is Christ's title. And he is described as looking the same as Christ.
(I am not JW btw)

Busted..
Nevertheless..Revelation 3:12 The one that conquers..I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, and that NEW NAME OF MINE.
Jesus is not in Heaven now, HE is on the earth, examining the congregations, preparing for the manifestation of his presence. Rev. 2,3, Acts 2:17-21, Romans 8: 19, Luke 12:45-48, Malachi 3:1-5...
Acts 7: 37 This is the Moses that said to the sons of Israel, 'God will raise up for you from among your brothers *a prophet* like me. This is *he* that came to be *among the congregation in the wilderness* with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai and *with* our forefathers, and he received living sacred pronouncements to give you.
To *him* our forefathers refused to become obedient, but they thrust *him* aside and in their hearts they turned back to Egypt.
44) Our forefathers had the tent of the witness in the wilderness, just as *he* gave orders when speaking to Moses to make it according to the pattern *he* had seen.
Zechariah refers to Jesus as the *angel of Jehovah*
Zechariah 1: 11 And they proceeded to answer *the angel of Jehovah*..
12) So *the angel of Jehovah* answered and said:..
Zechariah 3:2 The the *angel of Jehovah* said to Satan: "Jehovah rebuke you,...
6) And the *angel of Jehovah* began to bear witness to Joshua, saying:...8) Here I am bringing in *my* (Jesus) servant sprout, (Elijah) ...
