I just laugh when Cronos tells anyone that Michael isn’t another name/title for preincarnate Christ. Even his own CATHOLIC Saint Melito (he was made a saint) said it.

Bishop Melito of Sardis:

The Lord Jesus Christ is acknowledged as the perfect Reason, the Word of God; who was begotten before the light; who was Creator with the Father; who was the Fashioner of man; who was all things in all; Patriarch among the patriarchs, Law in the law, Chief Priest among the priests, King among the kings, Prophet among the prophets, ARCHANGEL AMONG THE ANGELS;

http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/hcc2.v.xv.xix.html

Cronos also believes that his CATHOLIC church didn’t change the Sabbath to Sunday (or thought they could). I posted 20-30 saying that they CHANGED the day of worship. One of them was from the Council of Trent.

The stuff Cronos comes up with just makes me laugh.

St Melito of Sardis actually wrote

“our Lord Jesus Christ, that we may prove to your love that this Being is perfect reason, the Word of God; He who was begotten before the light; He who is Creator together with the Father; He who is the Fashioner of man; He who is all in all; He who among the patriarchs is Patriarch; He who in the law is the Law; among the priests, Chief Priest; among kings, the Ruler; among prophets, the Prophet; among the angels, Archangel; in the voice of the preacher, the Word; among spirits, the Spirit; in the Father, the Son; in God, God; King for ever and ever. “

He clearly emphasises that Jesus is the superlative .

Or do you think he means Jesus is a patriarch with multiple children? No.

Your Adventist beliefs that Jesus is one of the archangels is rendered false again.

Btw the book of Daniel clearly shows that Michael is one of the princes of angels ie one of the archangels.

As evidenced by the fact that no one held Jesus to be Michael until the 19th century non-Christian cult of "Seventh Day Adventists" came along

Michael is a created angel.

I am very puzzled by why the creators of Adventism, came up with the concept of Jesus as the angel Michael.

Michael - “who is like God?” - is referred to in Daniel (6th century BC).
Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

He’s also considered in Rabbinical Judaism and Pharisaic Judaism as the chief advocate for Israel among the angels.

But nowhere do they say the “Who is like God” is a comparison as you Adventists do.

No-one for 2400 years before Ellen G White and others created Seventh Day Adventist, no one considered Michael as God Jesus.

Why do you come up with such innovations?
