Bible Note: Kelos, You said, "Michael the Archangel, though, is only an angel." and "Michael the Archangel is a powerful angel, but still only an angel." What Biblical evidence do you have that this is so? Nowhere does the Bible actually state that Michael is an angel so where are you getting this from? His title? The title "Archangel" is not proof that Michael is an angel. The actual phrase "Michael the Archangel" literally interpreted is "He who is like God, the head/chief of all the angels." Who besides Jesus can be "He who is like God"? Any created being? If an angel can be "like God" then so can any created being. Just because Jesus rebuked Satan while He was a human living on the earth and Michael didn't when disputing about the body of Moses is not proof that Jesus is not Michael. Old Testament cicumstances were different then than when Jesus walked the earth and gave power to His followers to also rebuke Satan. |
