JW were created by the Watchtower society, (who were and are a group of businessmen out to make money) who created their own private society, their own "religion" and created their own sort of creative book, which is NOT EVER to connected to nor CONSIDERED compatible NOR in any way comparable to/with The KJV Holy Bible.

The reason you NEVER see Jesus called the Angel Michael in the Holy Bible is because Jesus Christ is NOT an angel. Jesus Christ is ABOVE all angels not equal to them.

This is just another outright creative falsehood taught by Watchtower society to their "witnesses".

Almighty God holds the SEVEREST and HARSHEST words of warning and condemnation for those who WILLINGLY and KNOWINGLY represent them as God's messengers or teachers and then mislead people away from The Holy Bible and the truth about Almighty God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Bible.

"Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Do those words apply to the Lord Jesus Christ? Most Christians would say, Yes.

But Isaiah, who wrote those words, does not directly apply them to Jesus Christ.

The New Testament does not directly apply those words of Isaiah to Jesus Christ.

So, how do we know that they apply to Jesus Christ? By the process of reasoning on the Scriptures and comparing those words with what the Scriptures do apply to Jesus.

The same is true with the matter of Michael the Archangel. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and ask why this verse associates the Lord Jesus with the archangel? Michael is the only Archangel mentioned in the Scriptures.

The Lord Jesus has many names and titles. Archangel means "chief of the angels." The Commander-in -Chief of the armed forces of the United States is not a soldier. To call Jesus the Archangel does not mean that he is just an angel. He is the ruler and Commander of the angels.

I would request that those people who feel that they just must fill bandwidth with unsupported and patently false diatribes against Jehovah's Witnesses do something more constructive. Anyone with half a brain can see through their bias and ignorance.

Study the Scriptures better, it's there.
Jesus is the archangel Michael.


btw~ The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
are the only true Christians on the entire planet.
I say this bc:
Jesus said his disciples would be recognizable,
by the love they have....
What greater love could ever possibly be shown,
except to share the message of
God's Kingdom and the blessings He has for mankind?
They r the Only 1's doing what Jesus did;
Proclaiming the name of God~ Jehovah,
and His coming Kingdom.
They r the Only 1's Doing
what Jesus commanded of his disciples.
They r the Only 1's that Actually Live by the Bible.
The Only 1's that Adhere to the Bible.
{and no I am not a baptized Witness}

It seems likely that the Divine Author believed the point was so obvious that it did not need to be explicitly enunciated.

Ironically, those who argue most vehemently against the idea that Jesus might have another name ("Michael") are the same ones who argue longest and loudest that Jesus is Jehovah! By comparison with this question, that central teaching of trinitarianism also never appears in the Scriptures, but by contrast with this question, trinitarianism can be refuted by a child (see John 8:42; 12:49; 14:28; 20:17; 1 Cor 8:4-6; 11:3; 15:28).

Jehovah's Witnesses do happen to believe that Michael is Jesus, but the idea is hardly central to their faith. It just seems pretty straightforward...

Is not Jesus Christ the primary "Seed" who defeats Satan? The Millennial Rule begins with Satan's abyssing, performed by Christ Jesus, and no mere subsidiary. Thus, when Revelation 12:7-9 tells us that "Michael" performs this work, Jehovah's Witnesses are convinced that "Michael" is simply another name for Jesus, just as "Immanuel", "Sprout", "David", and "The Word" are additional names of Jesus (see Matt 1:23 ["Immanuel"]; Zech 6:12 ["Sprout", "Branch", or "Shoot"]; Ezek 37:24,25 ["David"]; Rev 19:13 ["The Word of God"]).

(Genesis 3:15) He [the Seed of God's woman] will bruise you [the original serpent Satan] in the head

(Revelation 12:7-9) Michael and his angels battled with the dragon... So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan

(Revelation 20:1-3) And I saw an angel... And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss

(Revelation 20:6-7) Rule as kings with [Christ] for the thousand years.


While anti-Witnesses pretend that Jehovah's Witnesses rely upon one Scripture for the belief that Jesus is the archangel Michael, that passage (1 Thes 4:14-16) is simply the easiest, most concise demonstration of the fact.
...(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

Hi there, I would like to ask similar questions too:

Why do a lot of Christians say that Jesus, God and the holy spirit are all part of the same "body" when the bible never says that?

Why do a lot of Christians teach that God sends the wicked to an eternal place of fiery torture (Hell) when the ORIGINAL bible never says that?

Why do some Christians teach about a place called purgatory when the bible never says that?

Why do some ministers say that God wanted your baby in heaven (when it dies) when the bible doesn't say that?

Why do a lot of Christians say that the soul is immortal when the bible doesn't say that?




Interestingly, the name Michael means:

"Who is like God?"

Who better to give this name than Jesus?


Achtung_heiss (below) has a great answer.

--==The Voice of Jesus and the Voice of Micheal==--

After Jesus was resurrected from the dead, his Father (Jehovah) gave him the authority to raise the dead, by giving him the keys to Hades.

Revelation 1:18
"and the living one; and I became dead, but, look! I am living forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Ha´des."

In the book of John, it shows us who will be resurrecting the dead.

John 5:28-29
28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

As you can see, those who are going to be resurrected will hear the voice of Jesus and be resurrected back to life. However, in the book of 1 Thessalonians, it says Jesus will descend from Heaven with a commanding call, WITH the archangel's voice.

1 Thessalonians 4:16
16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.


So if Jesus is not the Archangel Michael, then why does he have the voice of Michael?

Jehovah's witnesses are a cult. It's heretical to say that Michael is Jesus. Jesus is God and Michael is an angel that takes commands from God. He's in charge of whipping demon butt.

The Holy Spirit is actually the Angel of Revelation (Angel Gabriel).

The Trinity makes an arch Angel a part of Godhead.

Actually the Bible indicates that Jesus was not an angel at all. It says, "or to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God’s angels worship him." In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire." But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom." Heb 1:5-8

St. Michael is just the chief angel. He is not Jesus. Jesus is Jesus.
