apologies - didn’t look at this for some time.
John 5 is not the parallel of Thess 4.
And Thess 4 is saying “with the voice of an archangel” - meaning loud for all to hear
——>John 5 is not the parallel of Thess 4.
You can call it whatever you want, or not. But, it ends up the same.
“The apostles, John and Paul, give a good example of how two texts can describe the same event, but in slightly different ways.
——>And Thess 4 is saying “with the voice of an archangel” - meaning loud for all to hear
The KJV says “the” archangel. And, no created being is able to raise the dead with their voice. Other translations have it not as a shout, but a COMMAND, as in commanding the dead in Christ to rise. Christ and Michael are one in the same. Christ is “called” Michael, another name/title.
Why would Catholics believe that created beings can raise the dead? Doesn’t make any sense.
Why would you say the Archangel is the one who shouts “loud for all to hear”, when the subject of the text is the “Lord”? And, it’s not a shout, it’s a command, to raise the dead. John 5 makes that very clear. Your statement doesn’t make any sense.
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
