Jesus is Michael Recently I noticed the JWs are uncommonly accurate on another point of doctrine, that Jesus is Michael the Archangel. The common argument made by apologists against them being identical is that Michael was only one of the chief princes (Da. 10:13), whereas Jesus is the King of Kings or Prince of Princes. (Rev. 19:16; 1:5). Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Hosea 8:10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. However, this argument ignores the fact that the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, refers to Jesus as an Angel exalted above the other angels by GOD. Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psalms 45:6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Michael is explicitly referred to as the Prince, or ruler, over GOD's people, a description valid only of Jesus. Jesus is 'Messiah the Prince' (Da. 9:25) known also as David. Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. For Jesus to have come to His own people over which He was their Prince, He would have to be Michael. Jesus rules the nation of GOD's people as its Prince. John 1:11 He came unto His own, and His own received him not. Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, Art not the least among the princes of Juda: For out of thee shall come a Governor, That shall rule my people Israel. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

BLM's Racial Supremacism Martin Luther King Jr.'s defunct civil rights movement called for looking past skin color to see character. The Black Lives Matter movement backing Obama calls for looking past character to see skin color. The first is Biblically-based civil rights, the second racial supremacism, regardless of whether white, black, or any other supremacism is implicated. The modern black community as a whole abandoned King's vision half a century ago. Furious at King's murder by the LBJ administration and FBI (source below), they sought power and revenge at any cost through the Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, and black power movement which had opposed King. Malcolm X, after meeting King in 1964, tried to leave the movement but was killed by it. https://defendingconservatism.com/info/Civil_Rights#Assassinations_Timeline Democrats have always been the party of racial supremacism, since said supremacism stems from Nazistic Social Darwinism and is antithetical to Biblical teachings. Ironically blacks in their zeal for revenge became part of the same Democrats which had enslaved them, discriminated against them, and murdered their civil rights leaders, and thus remain slaves, to evil - not that today's GOP is any different, now that it too has adopted liberalism's evil values and perverse abominations in pursuit of power at all costs. The modern-day black community in general endorses racial supremacism through white guilt to gain racial favoritism through affirmative action and reparations, seeking black power at all costs. The black power movement King opposed is alive and well, as most blacks have become the same racial supremacists they once hated.

Reverse Racism Reverse racism is the notion that racism against blacks by being racist on their behalf instead of against them is needed to right past wrongs when all that results is more racism dividing the world, the nation, and people into tribalistic ethnic groups in stark contrast to the Christian notion of spiritual unity and brotherhood. These bigoted divisions achieve Satan's goal of focusing people on superficial, external factors, producing jealousy, covetness, hatred, and strife, rather than spiritual and eternal character pleasing to GOD. Reverse racism is racism, the idea that more evil can reduce evil. Black power is the same as white power, evil, Satanic, and eternally idiotic. Addendum: Technically reverse racism can be applied to any race but in practice is used specifically to achieve black power.

Most Lives Don't Matter If most lives mattered, most people would not be going to the path of destruction rather than the path to eternal life. Matthew 17:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 17:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. GOD and HIS Son uphold and sustain all life by their will. They do not have to do so. Liberals like comparing babies to people forcibly hooked up to others on life support to justify abortion, a poor analogy but one which does apply well here. GOD made all life, sustains all life, and is fully within HIS rights to withdraw that sustenance at any time from the wicked.
