Is Michael Another Name For Jesus?

I conferred with a native German speaker (a Christian). He clearly told me, that Luther stated that Michael is Christ. Google translate, does not do a good job with old German (and some Dutch) mix.

Its a good question. I do read a few that add the word "worthy".. what ever. I've read this over the years and never coming to the conclusion that Michael is Jesus or another name for Jesus. I know a different group out there believe this yet.. you really had to reach far and wide.. Just I don't believe so

John 8:58 "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

I provided the link to all the originally sourced materials. The "wiki" is simply a quick snapshot of those sources which were "secondary", as I was not allowed to post primary sources on wiki (I attempted several times, and in each instance the material was erased by wiki's self-proclaimed watch dogs.)

I will post the link again, see Chapter 11.

Hey! Mr SDA or JW, Hebrews 1 is still there whether you choose to ignore it or not!

Please refrain from spreading heresies.

Thank you!

Jesus is the ONLY Begotten of the Father John 3:16 so you are in error.

You have a misunderstanding of what "only begotten" (monogenes) means.

Mono

Gene

Mono is simply "one", "only".

Mono is used in conjunction or connection, gene.

Gene refers to race or nature (that which makes up the content of essence), that which comes about or exists through/from another.

It's used this way even coming down to our English:

"gene (n.) 1911, from German Gen, coined 1905 by Danish scientist Wilhelm Ludvig Johannsen (1857-1927), from Greek genea "generation, race" (from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget"). De Vries had earlier called them pangenes. Gene pool is attested from 1946." - https://www.etymonline.com/word/Gene

That is why the Father is called:

monon alethinon theon, ton theon

And because the Son is in the express image of the Father, is called:

monogene, logos en o theos

The Father's nature is His own, underived ("true"*), but the Son, because He is the Son has that same nature because of the Father.

True - https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/true

Authentic - https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/authentic

Original - https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/original

It means underived.

So monogene in connection with monon alethinon theon means that the nature of the Son is of the Father and he is the only Son of the Father with that nature of the Father.

Created Angels and humans are sons, but not of that same nature as the Father and Son are.

In other words:

The Father is "The only true (underived in nature) God"

The Son is "The only begotten (derives His nature from the Father because He is the Son) God"

Remember, "only begotten" has nothing to do with time, or creation, or coming into existence in these contexts, but and only deals with the existing nature of the Son in relation to the Father.

I know what people think when I say that, but they need to understand the definition of what is said by saying it.

JEHOVAH Elohiym is the eternal family/relationship. JEHOVAH is the singular eternal family name, while Elohiym (Gods, trio) are the individual Persons/Beings that exist in that eternal family/relationship, Matt. 28:19; 1 Jhn. 5:7,8.

1. JEHOVAH, "the LORD" (Gen. 19:24b.; Zec. 3:2b.), "the Ancient of days" (Dan. 7:9,13,22) is "the only true God" (Jhn. 17:3; τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν θεὸν), "God" (Jhn. 1:1b.; τὸν θεόν), "thy God" (Heb. 1:9; ὁ θεός σου), "God the Father" (2 Jhn. 1:3; θεοῦ πατρός) the "person" (Job 13:8; Heb. 1:3) identified in the beginning as the "God said" (Gen. 1:6), for it was by Him that Revelation says, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." (Rev. 4:11).

2. Jesus JEHOVAH (Gen.49:18; Exo. 14:13; 2 Chr. 20:17; Jon. 2:9; Psa. 119:174 HOT) or JEHOVAH Immanuel (see Psa. 46:7,11 HOT)), "the LORD" (Gen. 19:24a.; Zec. 3:2a.), "the son of man" (Dan. 7:13), "the only begotten" (Jhn. 1:14,18, 3:16,18; Heb. 11:17; 1 Jhn. 4:9, is basically monogene (μονογενῆ; Jhn. 3:16; Heb. 11:17; 1 Jhn. 4:9) or monogenes (μονογενὴς; Jhn. 1:18) or monogenous (μονογενοῦς; Jhn. 1:14, 3:18)), "the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father" (2 Jhn. 1:3; Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ πατρός) is not "the only true God" (Jhn. 17:3), but is "the express image of his person" (Heb. 1:3; χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ), being "the Word was God" (Jhn. 1:1c.; θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος), who is "O God" (Heb. 1:9; ὁ θεός), the "just person" (Matt. 27:24, "person", 2 Cor. 2:10) indentified in the beginning as "God made" (Gen. 1:7) on behalf of the Father's direction (Pro. 8:22-36; Exo. 20:12), for it was by him (the Son) that John says, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (Jhn. 1:3), that Ephesians says, "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:" (Eph. 3:9), that Colossians says, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" (Col. 1:16), that Hebrews says, "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;" (Heb. 1:2), the very, "I AM THAT I AM" (Exo. 3:14), the great "I am" (Jhn. 8:58; ἐγὼ εἰμί), the very "fellow" (Zec. 13:7) of the Father's person, and who comes in the name of His Father (Jhn. 5:43).

3. The Holy Spirit of JEHOVAH (Luk. 4:18), "his Spirit" (Isa. 48:16), "the LORD" (Zec. 3:2c.), the "another Comforter" (Jhn. 14:6), even "he", "the spirit of truth" (Jhn. 14:17, 15:26, 16:13), "God" (Acts 5:4), identified in the beginning as "the Spirit of God moved" (Gen. 1:2) and "God saw" (Gen. 1 throughout, the eternal Witness who inspired the scriptures; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21), by which/whom everything is "created" (Psa. 104:30) and "made" (Job 33:4), whose nature is a mystery left unspoken of in scripture, but is the person who does "not speak of himself" (Jhn. 16:13), but comes in the name of the Son (Jhn. 14:26).

The eternal Heavenly Trio - family JEHOVAH Elohiym, over all creation as "Godhead".

Jesus is a "begotten" son. (John 1:14, John 1:18, John 3:16, John 3:18, Heb
11:17, 1John 4:9) which is quite different than a son who never had a
beginning via birth.

The Son is "The only begotten (derives His nature from the Father because He is the Son) God"

Philippians 2:5-8 Christ Jesus, Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal to God, but did empty Himself, the form of a servant
having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, and in
fashionhaving been found as a man, He humbled himself

Hey! Mr SDA or JW, Hebrews 1 is still there whether you choose to ignore it or not!

The eternal Heavenly Trio - family JEHOVAH Elohiym, over all creation as "Godhead".

King James is a poor translation, the correct is something like ony unique. where did that spell checkr go?

Hello P.E.

I have recently showed, by original source documentation that the subject is neither originating with SDA or JW, neither SDA or JW only doctrine. I would ask that you please refrain from attempting to alter the subject from Michael in scripture to denomination.

I have given the reply to Hebrews 1, not ignored it, as some seem to think.

Hebrews 1 is not against the position of the OP, but for it.

Hebrews 1:1-3, reveal that the Son is the highest messenger of the Father, and eternal and uncreated:

Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hebrews 1:4,7,14 all reveal that there are other messengers, which are created. These are in the office or position as the very "fellows" (Heb. 1:9) of the Son, who also has the position or office of messenger along with them.

The context of Hebrews 1:4,7,14 are of the created ("maketh") messengers ("angels"), not of the uncreated and eternal angel (Messenger) of the Father, known as the Son.

The word "angels" only means (in English, Hebrew or koine Greek, messengers, ambassador or that which carries a message from or for another). Uncreated and created are not part of the definition of the word. Context determines any further identification of the being, etc, spoken of.

In the case of the Son, He is the "angel (messenger) of the covenant", Malachi 3:1, and is identified as such throughout scripture. Since He is an "angel" (messenger), and He who is the "express image" of the Father, He is the Highest Messenger, for who else can it be questioned, Who is like unto God? The devil, in each case, when facing the Son, whether in Daniel, Zechariah, Jude or Revelation or elsewhere, must always battle that question, "Who is like unto God?", while the devil "Who is like unto the Beast?" (Genesis 3:1, Revelation 13:4).

That is why the Father is called:

monon alethinon theon, ton theon

And because the Son is in the express image of the Father, is called:

monogene, logos en o theos


In other words:

The Father is "The only true (underived in nature) God"
