I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I notice that others can post lengthy messages.
Must be a glitch, looking forward to the rest. I think looking pre 300 is the best way to sort the truth

Do you believe that the gospels are historically correct?

William L. Alexander, Doctor of Divinity, stated:
There seems good reason for regarding Michael as the Messiah. Such was the opinion of the best among the ancient Jews.... With this all the Bible representations of Michael agree. He appears as the Great Prince who standeth for Israel (Dan. xii. I), and he is called "the Prince of Israel" (Dan. x. 21)--William L. Alexander, ed., A Cyclopedia Of Biblical Literature, originally edited by John Kitto, 3d ed. (Edinburgh: A & C Black, 1886). vol. 3, p. 158.
LOL! Doctor of Divinity? William Alexander was born in the 1800's. He and everyone else you quoted can't exactly be compared to the writings of the first Christians who lived in 1 A.D.

He and the others were also not recognized by the Church as insightful Christian witnesses that we should listen to. Sorry, but I can't really take your post serious, because it lacks credibility.

they would not have said, "Well, he’s Michael the Archangel!" Not only was the very idea was unheard of before Charles Taze Russell (the founder of the WTS),


My reply showed your statement to be false. I expected an honest admission of this. Instead I get ridicule.

Also my sources spoke of the Shepherd of Hermas which was considered as scripture by many in the 2nd century. Apparently you just scanned my reply and didn't actually see much of it.

W.E. Vine is not worth reading? International Bible Dictionary ? Fairbairn’s Imperial Standard Bible Encyclopedia? Many others from different denominations before Russell's teaching?

Why the animosity and denial of recorded facts?
