I have not been studying the Bible on any Bible school, so I must rely on my own interpretation, and I have, up to now not found any pointers to this (Michael and Jesus being the same). Unfortunately I do not have an english Bible at hand, so I shall not try to cite what it says, merely give a reference which you may read for yourself: Read for instance Heb. 1; 4 - 14. In my opinion this is clear evidence that Jesus can not be Michael. Consider Verse 6: All angels shall worship Him. (Jesus) That is: Michael will worship Jesus. \Bjorn -- ______________________________________________________________________ s-mail: e-mail: | | | Bjorn. B.
