SARI...I'm Sorry, but I asked for factual evidence, not speculation, which follows under the category belief. "Could of", "Suggests", and those types of words you have used, are all too familiar in the Watchtower's materials since it's beginnings. This is how they seem to make things into facts for the memebers to believe and follow.

You stated: If Jesus is not the archangel in this event and he is superior to the archangel, then why would he perform this act as though he was someone of lower rank? Wouldn't he be using an archangel's voice because he is an archangel?

Firstly, it doesn't state here, that this arch angel's voice is coming from Jesus. Because if that's the case, he's also carrying God's Trumpet? No, this passage means The sounds and announcements being made with the Lord descending from Heaven will be made with a commanding call by, possibly, an Arch Angel, and a also trumpet.

Nowhere in that scripture does it say Jesus or the Christ is an Arch Angel.

You ever watch those old movies on TV, movies with Kings and Queens, castles and such. Whenever they announce that the King is coming into a courtyard or place of eating, etc, they always seem to blow the horns and yell out that the King is coming in. This is what's being stated in that scripture. Again though, either way it's all in the translation.

Still waiting for some facts, OVER belief.

That also goes for the 1914 issue. Tons of factual recorded evidence in history discounts the Watchtower's translations of 607. The Watchtower's own Person Coming up with the Majority of their Doctrine on 1914, even came to the conclusion that they didn't really have enough evidence, but they made him compose their version anyway. He's since been disfellowshipped. I wonder why.

Anyone else?
