1 | Jesus speaks as the archangel? | 1 Thess 4:16 | Hank | 8876 | ||
Joseph, while I confess that I'm not entirely sure I understand you, I'll venture to say this: The passage in 1 Thess.4:16 says "the Lord....with the voice of the archangel." Of course, John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This verse not only affirms the pre-existence of Christ, but says unequivocally that Christ (the Word) was with God -- in communion with yet distinct from God -- and was God -- identical in essence with God; hence, of the Triunity. Saying that "in the beginning was the Word" is not the same thing as saying, "with the voice of an archangel." Having "the voice of an archangel" is not being an archangel." A vocalist may sing like a bird (have the voice of a bird) but does not become a bird. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Jesus speaks as the archangel? | 1 Thess 4:16 | Jluna | 8877 | ||
Dear Hank: My answer was especifically geared to a Jehovah Witness's mind so that in this case they cannot think Michael the archangel and Jesus are one, while on the other hand they deny that the Word of God and God are one God. Thanks, Brother Joe |
