If Jehovah Witnesses believe Jesus was a created angel similar to Lucifer who later became Satan...why would God trust Jesus to walk the earth among humans, when He also COULD have been capable of rebellion similar to his created angelic brother Lucifer?
I think Witnesses teach that Jesus was the Archangel Michael.
Afterall, Lucifer only had access to two PERFECT humans in the Garden of Eden, and look at the damage he caused. I can't imagine why God would allow a rebellious angel to walk the earth in the flesh among sinful humans. Would God really put his children at spiritual risk like that?
Also, it would seem that only God would have the ability to release mankind from their sins...not a created angel? I'd like to hear from Jehovah Witnesses to understand how they've reached this conclusion. But anyone is welcome to respond. Thanks

By the way, many witnesses say they are open to explaining their beliefs from any Bible translation. I use the King James Version, so please respond with KJV scriptures. Thanks

Jesus is not the archangel Michael. Jesus came to earth to die for the sins of the world. Michael is a created being, Jesus is not created. Jesus is the only Begotten of the Father, which means Jesus is part of the God head. Angels are not God. Lucifer wanted to be, but God threw him out of Heaven. The witness's are spiritually blind and do not know the word of God properly. They are a blinded by Satan.

WHO HAS THE MOST POWER JESUS OR MICHAEL?
KJV Bible 1611 published, at 303 is 1914 after Christ and an excepted translation by law of man and God.
I do not know what else was in the earth, but from here for the end times, bible made
the best possible in every language can be done, but 1914 plus 300 circulation is 2214 and that is far beyond that which is allowed, the most possible is 150 years [ two locations ].
John 17:3,5,24;
Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:12,14;
The bible says that Jesus was the first creation created in the image of God before the world was. John 8:58;
Gen.1:26; God Said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
Jesus and Adam were created in the image of God, Jesus stayed that way as an obedient son, he knew where his source of life was coming from.
Heb.1:1-13; 9:14-16; Acts 2:27-35; Matt.22:42-44 [ Enemies are Satan and unholy angels ]; Rom.16:20; Apostles expect Satan to be under their feet.
He will have to SAVE us as offsprings of Adam 1Cor.15:25,26; Heb.2:9,14,16 and do away with death and the causer of it, before we can be like unto Jesus and have a perfect life if we never disregard our life source.
Michael of Jude 9; and Dan.12:1-13 end times at Rev.12:1-12; Ends Empire #7, 2520 years afte Babylon Empire #3 ends Judah kings, prophecy is: THERE WILL BE NO KING UNTIL KING JESUS AT HIS SECOND COMING. So Michael and holy angel cast Satan and unholy angels out of heaven to end empire #7. Satan has a short time.
John 6:39,40,44; 14:3; Mark 13:27;
Now a place is prepared for the raised up at the last day, Michael there to last 1Thes.4:15-17 the caught up to be with Jesus Rev.20:1-6,12,13; NO SATAN 1000 years.
The heavenly for new heavens are with Jesus, to resurrect Heb.9:27; the earthly for new earth Rev.3:12; 21:1-5;

Jesus is different than all the other angels, although he being the Chief of Angels, he is also the ONLY-BEGOTTEN SON of God.
The rest of creation are created through Jesus. Aside from that, Jesus personality is different, he does everything that his Father does, he doesn't follow even his own will. He is also the image of God. So why wouldn't Jehovah God trust his beloved Son? Your reasoning is like saying, well, we are all humans , and we can't be loyal to God, and God can't trust us, because Adam and Eve are humans also and we came from them.
Please see these verses:
(Job 38:4,7) When [Jehovah] founded the earth... When the morning stars [or "angels"] joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause
(Revelation 22:16) I, Jesus... I am the root and the offspring of David, and the BRIGHT morning star.
(1 Thessalonians 4:14-16) Jesus died and rose again, so, too... the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice
Jesus is part of the Creation BY God ( Col 1:15, Rev 3:14).
Please note that the Bible stated that it is the Son of God (Jesus), not God, who DIED for us, thus releasing us from the captivity of sin.

Good Question. It's Q's like these that we like to sit down and study about. Well, You're right about Jehovah TRUSTING his spirit creatures. He never forced Satan to do anything. He wanted him to be good & wanted him to WANT to be good. Likewise, He trusted His Son Jesus. Jesus is somewhat different though in that HE was the firstborn of ALL creation. He spent eons of time w/ his father...so it's pretty much impossible that Christ would rebel. He is JUST like his father and showed it when on earth. Another thing to think about is that Jesus WILLINGLY came down to be mankind's sacrifice. He knew what would happen to him & wanted to die for us. It was hard but nevertheless wanted to. So why would he rebel after all of this? We have 10000000% proof AND assurance that BOTH are perfect and can't do bad. But, to answer your hypothetical Q, IF Jesus DID rebel...Jehovah simply would have fixed it in his own way. If He decided that it was all too hard to go through with and backed out...I'm positive God would understand & let him back into heaven w/o holding it against him. Our website explains A LOT and so do we in human...so don't ever be too shy 2 ask. And we never charge for money. "You recieve free, Give free."

It is true that jesus was created along with satan as an angel, what you neglect to realize is that God created many angels, and Satan was one that felt he was as high as God and deserved to be praised. He on his own accord chose to defy God and rebel. His wrong doing does not represent all of the other angels including Jesus. By your theory it would be like saying that if one American person goes to Europe and kills someone then the entire country of America would be at fault.

As to the KJV, do you realize that if you don't speak English, you probably would never hear of this version?
In 1611, people went to the barber instead of the doctor.
In 1611, people were still being bled to cure diseases.
In 1611, people still thought the mentally ill were demon possessed.
Why limit yourself when there are many up to date bibles in modern English?
1 Cor 15:44-46 shows that Jesus is equal to Adam,
It is by being equal to Adam that Jesus could ransom us from the death we inherited from Adam.
Divine law is: life for life, soul for soul, eye for eye,
Not life for eye.
For God to have died for us, would have been a great miss carriage of justice.
Add to the fact that God can not die, then there would have been not salvation, ransom provided and we would be hopeless.
Satan slandered Jehovah, by saying No created being would remain loyal, if tested by him. Job chapters 1 & 2.
If had to be someone other than God to answer this challange.

Creation came from Jehovah. Jehovah is the sole source of creation. Jehovah is the Creator. the context of the book of Isaiah especially the verses you referenced was contrasting Jehovah, not with Jesus, but with the False gods of the nations. None of these false gods had anything to do with creation. Context rules. No where in the bible does it say Jesus created anything. It says creation came 'thru' Jesus. If the letter came 'by' or "through" the post office. we know the author of that letter was not the post office. Jehovah alone is the Creator. Jesus is the"'master worker", "the beginning of God's creation", "the firstborn of all creation." When Jehovah said: "Let us make man in our image" was he talking to himself or to someone else? Is the Law of Moses, God's Law's or did Moses make them up? Heb 1:3, the brightness that Jesus has is a reflection. Just as the moon reflects light from the sun, Jesus reflects Jehovah's qualities and nature. Jesus is Jehovah's Representative, not that he is Jehovah. .

Which King James will you be using, there were five created and revised over a 150 year time period by different individuals. Are you going to use only the last one which was finally Authorized by the Church of England, because it matched their beliefs and was not as strict an interpretation as the Genessee Bible? I don't know if I would want to use a Bible from a Church whose Bishop stated six months ago that babies born with significant handicaps should be allowed to die.

Jesus came to undo what Lucifer did, and give humanity salvation, through him. Although we can chose to do evil, its better to chose to do good. The world would be so much more different if people werent just out for themselves.

Jesus since time immemorial is the begotten Son of God, not created... but begotten. Do not read the Jw false teachings... it will drag you to hell.
