The Scriptures Thoroughly Refute the Possibility that Jesus is Michael

The exact phrase occurs 3 times

Durst G5111 Not G3766

Luke 20:40

And after that they durst G5111 not ask Him any question at all.

Acts 7:32

Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst G511 not G3756 behold.

Jude 1:9
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst G5111 not G3766 bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

The KJV translates Strong's G5111 in the following manner: durst (7x), dare (4x), be bold (4x), boldly (1x).

The KJV translates Strong's G3756 in the following manner: not (1,210x), no (147x), cannot (with G1410) (57x)

Moses Trembled and was afraid to look upon Elohim, He from fear, dared not look

Michael dared not bring a accusation

Not convinced, then read the verse in its context, brutish men speaking evil of things they don't understand, Yet Michael who did understand dared not say anything against satan, and said the Lord rebuke you

In Summary
you want people to believe, that the Pre-Incarnate JESUS who you believe was is and will always be Michael the Archangel, who dared not, bring a accusation against satan is God Almighty.

LOL

I'll Pass!!!

It's not a salvation matter.

What is important is that you believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God.
That He became human and died for our sins.
Through that action (by God alone) we can repent of our sins and be saved.

Arguing about who Jesus was before He became incarnate is actually useless.

Some want to argue that Michael is an eternal being. And there is scriptural evidence.
Others want to say He is a created being. One of several archangels.
But that aligns more with the Books of Enoch which are Catholic forgeries.

I just don't see the point in arguing the matter.

You can't even read what the forth commandment actually says can you. I suggest you do (Exo 20:8-11).
Verse 11 actually points BACK to creation week and God resting on the 7th day from His labors (Gen 2:1-3).

Do you even own a bible of your own? I will send you one (or at least find a way for you to get one) for free.

I note your inept attempt at sarcasm. I think my post was clear and it left no doubt that I have both read and studied the passage.

Let me ask you this, since you think you know: What does it mean for God to rest? What does that look like? The answer is also in Genesis if you can find it and recognize it.
