Your point 2, which the JWs use as the only prove of Jesus being an angel, is false and never supported by any other verse of the scripture. If you quote the verse completely, without omitting the 2nd statement in the same verse, you will end up exposing your fallacy.
New King James Version
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

1) For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout.
Which shout?
God's word already told us that it's Jesus' own voice that will resurrect the dead (John 5:25).
We're not expecting him to borrow any person's voice but his personal as foretold. wink

2) with the voice of an archangel (the verse says 'an archangel' which means there are more than one archangels)
The word 'Archangel' meaning 'Leader of the Angels' appear just twice in the Bible. 'Archangel” only occurs in the singular in the Bible text.

Jude 1:9, Here Michael is called the The Archangel
NOTICE: singular, NOT plural Archangel. Only ONE! Archangel means “chief of the angels.”
It would not make sense for God to set up Jesus and Michael as rival commanders of the holy angels


3) with the trumpet of God (if Jesus is the voice of an archangel, as you claim, he is equally the trumpet of God. You cannot pick and choose what you want from the verse).
If the designation “archangel” applied, not to Jesus Christ, but to some other angel, then the reference to “an archangel’s voice” would be inappropriate—for it would be describing a voice of lesser authority than that of the Son of God. Don't you think?
We believe Jesus is not an imposter, he's what the scripture said he is. His heavenly name as the 'Archangel' Chief of the Angels' is MICHAEL

Side bar:
1) New King James Version (Heb 1:5)
For to which of the angels did He EVER say: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”? The answer is NONE (angel Michael inclusive).

This Scripture brings out the Son's superiority to the angels, that Jesus is God's Son in a way that no other spirit is.
And while these spirit creatures are swift angelic messengers, the Son has become King so that they are now subject to him.
While we are it
My only question for you will on this same chapter.
This chapter is about Jesus and the Angels
Who are the Jesus Companions/peers that he was annointed above?

JWs should stop talking nonsense abeg and read the Bible themselves without following the watchtower script : what the bibe really teaches.
If you're really going to be this down. I might stop replying you. What makes you think that your version of Christ identity in heaven is Right?
Jehovah's witnesses are not alone in this believe.
Seventh Day Adventist that are trinitarians believe this also
Many other trinitarians holds this believe
So, what's your church and their belief on this?

oh duh, jude is talking about michael, one archangel, so of course he says
the archangel michael, and not the archangels michael, oh twister/deceiver

there is clearly more than one archangel just as there are more than one general in an army

Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.


michael is one of the chief angels
the Word/the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is creator of all the angels
without Him, nothing was created that is created

You can’t emphasise someone’s authority by comparing him with an inferior being, but having God’s trumpet is a privilege that does emphasise Jesus’ authority.

6. Celebrate Christmas and Easter. lol

Truly, over this century our basic teachings has not changed.
But anytime, anyday we're ready to change our doctrines to suit God's word in the Bible and not the way round.
We examined what the Bible teaches and gained a better understanding of details which were needing to be clarified they we corrected our beliefs and rejected unbiblical practices and teachings.
Not like your usual pathetic attempt to change God's word to suit your erattic doctrines.

Stop confusing yourselves. Even among the angels we have many 'departments'. We have angels who are responsible for war, death, blessings, praises and worship, etc and each of the angels have 'Leader of the Angels' who runs their different ministries. So Jude using a definite article for Michael and Paul using an indefinite arctle for the archangel in 1 thess 4:16 has a reason for that. You cant create a theology using an isolate Bible verse.

Sorry bro, Charles Taze Russel was the founder of Jw and Rutherford, who modified most of the JW teachings, was a student under Russel. You can deny as much as you want but your past publications will always expose you. We have them both in print and electronic copies. Modern apologetic JW teachings was the handiwork of Russel and will be hypocritical for you to push him under the bus because you don't align with what he taught as the Bible truth before he died.

John the Baptist was a Jew and followed the Jewish tradition of his forefathers. It was never wrong for him to ask his disciples to fast. The Pharisees are not bad people but religious zealots who believe that their brand of Judaism is the best even when they fall short. Fasting is a good thing and not only necessary when you are in trouble or affliction. If that's what you are told you have been lied to. You can provide scriptural evidence for your claim above.

The 'Archangel' only appears in singular never in plural sir to indicate there only exist just one leader of the Angels, The Archangel'

Stop confusing yourselves. Even among the angels we have many 'departments'. We have angels who are responsible for war, death, blessings, praises and worship, etc and each of the angels have 'Leader of the Angels' who runs their different ministries.
Of course!
There are hierarchy among angels
Michael has great authority in the spirit realm, for he is called “the great prince.” (Daniel 10:21; 12:1) These titles designate Michael as “the commander-in-chief” of all angelic forces.
The Bible mentions only one other name of someone having authority over an army of angels JESUS!.” (2 Thessalonians 1:​7, cool
Michael is evidently a name given to Jesus before and after his life on earth

So Jude using a definite article for Michael and Paul using an indefinite arctle for the archangel in 1 thess 4:16 has a reason for that. You cant create a theology using an isolate Bible verse.
Now, your voice has changed! It is now there must be reason for that wink. Then, why are we here.
It's clear to you now that the usage of indefinite articles does not necessarily indicate plurality.

Michael is not called “one of the arch angels” but he is referred to as “THE arch angel”(Definite article 'THE'). There is only one arch angel in the bible, no one else is given that title.

Hebrew 1: 5 said Jesus is not an angel. You are free to argue till next year. You are serving the watchtower society

Does Jesus speak with an archangel's (not the article used is 'an' and not 'the' which means we have more than one archangel) or an archangel himself? You have to specify your position very clearly.

You are a fast learner and I think we are getting somewhere. Now Lets look at the text again:

1 thessealnia 4:16. because the Lord himself (Jesus is Lord and not Michael) 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.

Now let me analyse the sequence of event:

1) Jesus will descend from heaven with a commanding call.

2) An archangel (name not specified) will make make a loud shout

3) God's angels will blow the trumpets

4) The dead in christ will rise.

verse 17:. Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord.

5) The people are living in christ will be caught up in the cloud to me the Lord (not archangel Michael) in the air.

6) So shall we always be with the Lord (not be with angel Michael).

The above are the sequence of events as described by the apostle Paul in 1 thessalonian 4:16-17.


haddeylium:
The trumpet is owned by God but blow by trumpeters . Just as Jesus, other angels do blow the trumpets of God.

The bolded is true but Jesus is not to blow any trumpet but the angels. The angels are not God of course but I just want to tell you that 'the voice of an archangel' is not also Jesus' voice but that of an archangel. You new world translation also used the term 'an archangel'.

You are right, but we also use Lord for God and Jesus in a religious sense and not on marital or family levels. The apostles called Jesus ''Lord and saviour'. Maybe angel Michael is also your Lord and savior being a JW.

Buhari is the President of Nigeria today, the whole world address him with the name he bear as the president elect, nobody remember the name he bear before he was elected.

So Jesus' name before God transformed him into the womb of Mary is of no importance, now he has been elevated to a higher position.

But we know that before his coming to the earth he is the archangel Michael, so we're not telling you to believe that it's a secret in the midst of those who knew him better just like some that knew Buhari before he got to that position can tell you deep secrets about Buhari's childhood name! smiley

Jude 1:9, But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

Who is that Lord that the archangel Michael invoked to rebuke the devil in Jude 1:9?

The quote “The Lord rebuke you.” is

actually "JEHOVAH rebuke you".

That expression in Jude1:9 is a direct quote of Zechariah 3:2, when the angel of Jehovah had a dispute with Satan.
The Lord capitalized in the old testament is a reference to JEHOVAH, the Most High God.
Jehovah, God's name, was substituted & replaced with 'the Lord' capitalized.
Jude 1:9 is a dispute between Archangel Michael and Satan just as Zechariah 3:2 is a dispute between the angel of Jehovah and Satan.
Will Archangel Michael not defer to the Most High God @ Jude 1:9 & @ Zechariah 3:2 will the angel not defer to Jehovah?

Bros, the context of both verses in Jude & Zechariah is very luminous.
Bros, your own claim no dey there. grin grin


Jude 1:9 is also proven that the name JEHOVAH was substituted with Lord where the New Testament texts is a direct quote from the old testament.

Buhari is the President of Nigeria today, the whole world address him with the name he bear as the president elect, nobody remember the name he bear before he was elected.
The comparison you try to make is wrong. I have known Mohammadu Buhari for many many years and his name remains the same. The prefix ‘Presiident’ was added to his name to echo his current political power as the head of state. That nobody remembers his ‘real’ name before he becomes president shows you are either very very young or ignorant.

So Jesus' name before God transformed him into the womb of Mary is of no importance, now he has been elevated to a higher position.
Name is key in everything. Of course Yeshua (or Jesus his anglicized name) remains his name prior his earthly incarnation and after his heavenly ascension.

This is what God said about Yeshua:

Pslam 110:1 The Lord (YHWH) said unto my Lord (Yeshua), Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Apostle Paul also made reference to this statement in Hebrews 1:13 thus:

But to which of the angels said He at any time, “Sit on My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool”?

You are free to lie to defend the watchtowers lies. It is your fundamental human right. No angel (whether arch or nominal) has God almighty ever said he should sit at his right hand. You have been lied to and you cannot lie to me because I know.

MaxInDHouse:
But we know that before his coming to the earth he is the archangel Michael, so we're not telling you to believe that it's a secret in the midst of those who knew him better just like some that knew Buhari before he got to that position can tell you deep secrets about Buhari's childhood name! smiley
Buhari’s childhood name is/was Muhammadu Buhari and will remain so until he officially do a name change in an approved court of law or a notary public. Stop lying out of ignorance or attempt to patronize the watchtower society.

Janosky:
The quote “The Lord rebuke you.” is actually "JEHOVAH rebuke you".
Wrong! The word ‘Jehovah’ is actually the corrupted word coined from the tetragrammaton YHWH, the supposed name of God he revealed to Moses in mount Sanai. The word tetragrammaton is a 4-consonant letter, without vowels in Jewish religious lexicon. The name is considered so holy that it was an anathema for mere mortals to pronounce it. The Jews don’t pronounce J (jay) when referencing YHWH but closer to Y (wai). YAHWEH is even more appropriate than JEHOVAH since the Jews don’t pronounce J (jay). No any Jew call God Jehovah.

Besides, there is nowhere the word (YHWH) appear in the new testament Greek scripture and for New World Translation putting Jehovah in Jude 9 is fraudulent. The writer or Jude never put the word Jehovah in that text.

Janosky:

Jude 1:9 is a dispute between Archangel Michael and Satan just as Zechariah 3:2 is a dispute between the angel of Jehovah and Satan.
This is what Zechariah 3:2,

The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”

If you look into the text well, how many people are speaking here? Which Lord spoke to Satan and which Lord rebuked him?

Of course Michael couldn’t handle the devil hence has to invoke a higher authority. You are saying that Jesus has no final authority over principalities and power which is a lie. See what Paul said in Philipans 2: 9;

For this reason, also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, so that as the name of Jesus, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in Heaven and on the earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory God the Father.”

Are you saying that the name of Yeshua is not capable of bringing the devil to order in Jude 9? Are you saying that God had exalted angel Michael and gave him a name above every name that at the mention of the name of angel Michael every knee shall bow? Why was angel Michael struggling with the devil when every principalities and power can bow in his name?

Try harder and get more confused by the watchtower.

People's childhood name is only known by those who knew them from childhood!

So Jesus' name before coming to the earth is not Jesus, that's the point! smiley

You are talking as if we have 'childhood names' and 'adulthood names'. More than 99% of adult human retain their original names till death. So I seriously can’t get what you are trying to say.

And for the sake of argument, even if Yeshua (or Jesus in anglicised manner) is not his pre-incarnation name, he is surely not arch-angel Michael. See what Paul said about Yeshua in 1 Philippians 2:9;

For this reason, also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The key word here is EVERY KNEE WILL BOW. If every knee shall bow to Yeshua (whether in his pre-incarnated or post-ascension state) why will he be struggling with the devil in Jude 9. And remember, Christ’s glory didn’t just start after his death and resurrection. It had been with him even before he came to the earth. John 17:1-5,

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

In summary, all scriptural evidences indicated that Jesus is not an angel (Hebrews 1-10), superior to angels, created angels and have power over principalities and power, the authority which arch-angel didn’t have in Jude 9.
Re: Study The Bible With Jehovah's Witnesses! by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:17pm On Jun 29, 2021
The event John wrote about at Jude 9 occurred before Jesus came to the earth and it was after His earthly assignment that he was given a name higher than all others.

So get it straight, he was just like all other heavenly spirit sons of God (angels) before coming to the earth! smiley

So Jehovah witness' angel Michael share glory with God before the world began? Tell me more.

Perhaps you're confused if a prince is not glorified alongside his father! cheesy

I am not ready to argue with you, those brothers of mine doing so are only trying to reason along with you.
I am Maximus and on this thread it's only those who wants to learn from JWs that i invited.
But if you want to argue on the issue regarding Jesus being archangel Michael, you can start your own thread and i'll be there to dig the scriptures for you not on this thread! smiley
