t 1 Thess 4:16 the “the” is added into the KJV.

The Greek of the phrase in 1 Thess 4:16 is φωνῇ ἀρχαγγέλου = “voice/sound of archangel”. There is no definite article in the Greek

Back to 1 Thess 4:16. The need or otherwise of a definite article before “archangel” is debateable here. The word archangel only occurs twice in the NT: here and in Jude 9. In the Hebrew it also occurs in Dan 12:1 and simply means a leader of the angels.

So the translation would be more apt of “voice of archangel” - with it being ambiguous linguistically speaking on whether it is “the” or “an”

Jesus is not Michael, Jesus is God.
Michael is a created being - one of the archangels. i.e. “Princes of angels” as Daniel 12 indicates

There is only one Archangel ever mentioned in the bible, and that is Michael. Saying that there are more, and then giving them fictious names, is adding to the word of God, and BLASPHEMY.

What I don’t understand is why the Catholic church thinks a created angel can raise the dead with it’s voice. Doesn’t make any sense, unless that Archangel and Christ are one in the same.

So why does the Catholic church say that a created angel can raise the dead with their voice?
