Does Christ share any of these names and titles with the Father? How many does he share with Michael the archangel?
JWs boldly state that because Jesus is not explicitly called “Almighty God” then he cannot be divine in the same way as God the Father, or they cannot share the same nature. Well, first of all, trinitarians do not believe that when Jesus is called “God” that he is the same person as the Father. But, if that is a good argument, then we could ask that seeing as Michael is never explicitly called by any of the same titles below as Jesus, can he be Jesus? You can’t have it both ways.
