Thank you for sending this, Jim. But, once I saw a CLEAR misquoting of 1 Th 4:16 right at the beginning of this rather lengthy post, I had no interest in proceeding. I would be more that happy to engage one issue at a time. This is an impossible post to reply to otherwise, since there is so much heresay and mistranslation throughout.
Is there a specific issue you want to talk about?
Regarding Michael being Jesus, Hebrews 1:5-8 draws a clear distinction between Jesus and the angels, "For 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 forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.'"
So, again, what specifically would you like to debate?
