               The Clear Word and its position on who Jesus Christ is….

               The Seventh Day Adventists teach that Jesus and Michael the Archangel are one and the same.
               However, some people mistakenly think that the SDA are teaching that Jesus is a created angel, and
               therefore not truly divine. But that is not the Seventh-day Adventist position. Instead, they are saying
               that the Old Testament manifestation of Michael the Archangel was actually the pre-incarnate Christ
               and that he is not created. They are incorrect in their comparison, but in it they are not denying the
               deity of Christ.
