OK, you still don't "get it."

The following paragraph was NOT, I repeat, was NOT original with me: It's a quote, as I said last post, from Watchtower.org -- which is the official Web site of Jehovah's Witnesses:

"This scripture therefore suggests that Jesus himself is the archangel Michael...the Bible speaks of both Michael and “his angels” and Jesus and “his angels.” (Matthew 13:41) Since God’s Word nowhere indicates that there are two armies of faithful angels in heaven—one headed by Michael and one headed by Jesus—it is logical to conclude that Michael is none other than Jesus Christ in his heavenly role."

I don't know if you are purposefully leaving scripture out to suit your own needs, but lets take a look at what the Bible states PRIOR to your little "quote"....

Hey, I didn't write the Watchtower quote -- the Watchtower did...and the source Watchtower article didn't mention anything about Matthew 13:36, 37, 38, 39, 40, or 42 -- you are absolutely clueless in your loose-cannon accusations, impugning my motives with wild accusations. What's worse is I gave you the link so you could check out the original source. And instead of doing the simple thing by clicking, you chose the lazy thing to do & toss out more accusations.

So, no, nothing about Matthew 13 was either purposefully (or not) left out of the quote. (If you feel the quote was misrepresenting the Biblical position, blame the Watchtower, not me.)

Where on EARTH do you come up with Michael the Arch Angel out of that????

OK, you still don't "get it." I'm not the one who claims Jesus was the archangel Michael. (The Watchtower did...and as you said, they took a verse -- Matt. 13:42 out of context -- and came up with a false conclusion). What I don't understand is that you & I seem to agree on that -- against the JWs' Watchtower's findings -- and yet you take me to task?

(Now you've got several apologies in order, including calling a "false witness")

Go back to post 454...if you disagree with anything in that quote, read it in context...see how the Watchtower is presenting the info, and then take them to task. BTW, that's many other writings where the Watchtower claims that Jesus was the archangel Michael...and state it much stronger than that article.

Just because you're ignorant of that doesn't mean you get to flail all about like a fish out of water & start tossing out "liar, liar" like your pants were on fire.

Typo correction to my post -- I said Matt. 13:42 out of context & I meant Matt. 13:41
