Why Michael and Jesus Christ are not the same being.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) Michael, as an angel, was created. Jesus, however, as Son of God, is
|
|||
|
|
the One by Whom Rall things were created, things in heaven and on earth,
|
|||
|
|
visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or
|
|||
|
|
authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.S (Colossians
|
|||
|
|
1:16). Since the Watchtower Society delights in +logical+ conclusions,
|
|||
|
|
allow a logician to ask this: can anything be both +A+ and +non-A+ in
|
|||
|
|
nature? Certainly not! An oak tree cannot be anything but an oak tree. A
|
|||
|
|
field mouse cannot live under water like a frog; its useless to even
|
|||
|
|
suggest it. So, consider this: Jesus cannot have created =all= things
|
|||
|
|
and Himself be created.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) While Michael is an angel, albeit of the highest order, Jesus Christ
|
|||
|
|
is above the angels. RFor to =which= of the angels did God =ever= say,
|
|||
|
|
You are my Son; today I have become Your FatherS (Hebrews 1:5). By using
|
|||
|
|
the words =which= and =ever= the author purposely limits the
|
|||
|
|
interpretation of this verse. Jesus cannot be an angel; the text does
|
|||
|
|
not allow it. The first chapter of Hebrews is extremely vivid in its
|
|||
|
|
explanation of who Jesus Christ is and is not. The Father calls Him
|
|||
|
|
RSonS, and intentionally sets Him apart from the angels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Watchtower Society has from the beginning denied the deity of
|
|||
|
|
Christ, His bodily resurrection from the dead, the existence of hell,
|
|||
|
|
the efficacy of the Cross to forgive sin and provide redemption, and
|
|||
|
|
most other key teachings of the Bible. They claim to have the only hold
|
|||
|
|
on the truth, and yet, teach the oldest lie in the world. Satan first
|
|||
|
|
used it with Eve when he said, Ryou will be like GodS. I challenge
|
|||
|
|
Jehovah+s Witnesses to examine the claims of scripture without the
|
|||
|
|
filter of Charles Taze Russell clouding their vision.
