You need to study the SDA interpretation of the scripture.I believe you are mistaken about the SDA position on Michael. What you are doing is called identity politics; nothing to do with scripture.
We believe that the term "Michael" is but one of the many titles applied to the Son of God, the second person of the Godhead. (sdanet.org)
See sparrow, I am not mistaken and it is you who is mistaken.
The scripture does, in fact, state that the angels are created.The Bible does not say Angels are created beings; Angel means messenger but the Bible does not say what their origin is. It says one third of the fought against God, but when that war began is not known; but the second death brings the war to an end.
Psalm 148:2-5
Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all stars of light!
Praise Him, highest heavens, and the waters that are above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created.
Colossians 1:16
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
See sparrow, you are wrong again.
What does this verse mean to you?Dan 12:1-3 says Michael, but it seems to me those verses are talking about Christ; but my salvation is not dependant on that assumption being true; my fear is I will be judged on lawlessness, but not on misunderstanding scripture.
John 3:18
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.[/Quote]Michael is an archangel and the prince of the nation of Israel. Michael is but one of these princes.
Daniel 10:13
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes...
The 'sons of your people' are the Jews. This revelation was given to the prophet Daniel concerning the nation of Israel.Daniel 12:1-3 (NKJV)
1 "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
All the princes that guard nations will stand up at the end of days. Michael is but one of these princes.
