Does the Bible teach that Jesus is Michael the Archangel? This study carefully compares the Watchtower Society's teaching with the Scriptures to discover whether Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, or the archangel Michael.
False Christs and False Teachings
The doctrines that present Jesus as "God the Son" or Jesus as Michael the Archangel both present a false understanding of Christ.
The Bible teaches that there is salvation in believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the one true God.
"This is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." — John 17:3
The truth is wonderfully simple.
There is one true God—the Father—and one Lord, Jesus Christ, His Son.
Jesus is not God the Son, and He is not Michael the Archangel. He is the man Christ Jesus, the Messiah whom God promised and sent into the world.
Sadly, many sincere people have been influenced by traditions and religious leaders without carefully examining what the Scriptures actually teach. As a result, they may struggle to recognise the simplicity of the biblical message.
Jesus warned that false christs and false prophets would arise and deceive many (Matthew 24:24). That is why every believer should test every doctrine against the Scriptures rather than accepting it simply because it is popular or long established.
The Bible invites us to leave confusion behind and embrace the truth.
As Jesus said:
"Seek, and you will find." — Matthew 7:7
The gospel is not complicated. The Bible consistently points us to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and that through believing in Him we may have eternal life (John 20:31).
