i must admit that as a jw i never really swallowed this belief maybe because i was so young when i was really a staunch jw.
i would have born-again christians tell me that it was impossible for jesus and michael to be the same person and that jw's invented this doctrine.
fast forward to 2004 while i was reading a book on jesus i noticed that some of the early church fathers thought michael was jesus christ i almost fell out of my chair.
In the book of Judges ch 6 where Gideon meets the Angel of the LORD what is the significance of verse 14 where it says: Upon that Jehovah faced him and said...
At this point Gideon was talking to who he thought was a man, I can understand an angel or a man speaking on behalf of Jehovah, that is not unheard of but not however an angel or man turning to face an individual on behalf of Jehovah. Then who was this Angel and what is its relationship to God?
