You can read about the Archangel Michael in Jude 1:9, Daniel 12:1, and other places I can't remember off the top of my head. But isn't Jesus the only one with an army of angels? It talks about Michael having one and how Michael defeats the devil and how Michael is the High angel whos name is wonderful. But the bible talks about how Jesus whos name is wonderful. Wouldn't that make them the same person. Then if Jesus is God wouldn't that make Michael the Archangel God as well. Then it wouldnt be a trinity anymore. Am I wrong? Explain please.

Jesus isn't the Archangel Michael. So how would God being Jesus make God the Archangel Michael?
Jesus is the Word of God, present in the beginning. He is the instrument of creation. At His earthly birth, the Word of God became flesh and lived among us.
Michael is a created being.

As far as I know, the Bible do not say anything directly about Trinity. Its just some characteristics of God where grouped and classified, and there are only 3 Persons of God can be found in the Bible that posses this characters. For example, The Creator, wemean, The Father. An Omnipresent God, the Holy Ghost. The Redeemer, The Son. and many more characteristics. But we are referringto the Same God. The Michael - Jesus issue, well I think its in different Time they will battle against evil, Read Revelation for accurate info!

JWs believe that Jesus is Michael the archangel sent down from heaven as a human. This cannot be because both Jesus and Michael would not be able to exist at the same time. Now where in the Bible does it say Jesus went back to being an angel... If you read Revelations 12 you will see Michael at the end of times... how could he be at the end if he turned into Jesus and Jesus never turned back into him? He can't because Jesus is not Michael in the flesh. Jesus is God in the flesh.
PS-- IF Jesus was Michael in the flesh, how would that make him the Son of God???
Read the Bible, not the watchtower. :o)

Archangel Michael was created by God and so he cannot be God. In the bible where angels speak they never claim to be God or think they are just as good or better than God. One angel did do this, his name was Lucifer better known as Satan. As for the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, scripture indicates that these three are one, the one true God.
God the Father- "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." Isaiah 45:5
God the Son- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." John 1:1-5.
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." John1:14
"I and the Father are one" John 10:30
God the Holy Spirit
"Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God." Acts 5:3-4
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one." 1 John:5:7
I pray that these scriptures help you realize the it is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that are God and that they are one.

CJ writes:
" The Trinity is one God in three persons. Michael is not God, and has never been portrayed as God.
The Trinity is God the Father, God in human form (God the Son), and God in Spirit form (God the Spirit). One God, three persons."
If God the Holy Spirit is in Spirit form then precisely what form was God the Father? Was he not spirit also?
Jesus though too in spirit form became a man and now in heaven is he not still in spirit form also?
The trinity doesn't exist. It was created like much like other occasions in christendom such as Easter and Christmas to accommodate pagan worshippers who worshipped triunes and also fertility and sun gods and godesses to Christianity.
Emperor Constantine was the leader of the Roman Empire and a statesman who blended in these doctines into the Roman Catholic faith to consolidate the many religions of the empire to Roman control.
The real Jesus Christ was the begotten Son of God the firstborn of all creation.
Would God the universal Creator become himself a creation? If God was Jesus then Jesus never truely died a sacrificial death as there would of been no God alive to resurrect him. There are so many paradoxes as God being a triune that it would not be the True God that he revealed himself in his inspired words to be.
Jesus was Michael the Archangel the most high. Who else would it be? Jesus for his sacrifice to his Father is to be designated king over the whole earth.

No Michael is an angel, which is a created being by God. Its only the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three persons with equal authority and attributes.

Jesus is God...
Michael is an Archangel, a being created by God...
the Jehovah Witnesses are a cult that steal Jesus of his divinity...

The Trinity is one God in three persons. Michael is not God, and has never been portrayed as God.
The Trinity is God the Father, God in human form (God the Son), and God in Spirit form (God the Spirit). One God, three persons.

Michael is just an angel. He's not part of God at all.
