Was Jesus created as an angel?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Oct. 31, ‘07

The book “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” (published by Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1920; which is no longer published for obvious reason), says Jesus is Michael “the captain of our salvation” (p. 91). The writer of Hebrews asked, “to which of the angels did He ever say: You are My Son, Today I have begotten You?” (Heb. 1:5; see Acts 13:30-33). The implied answer is – none! Then He said, “Let all the angels of God worship Him” (Heb. 1:6). Angels could worship Him because “to the Son He says: Your throne, O God, is forever and ever…” (Heb. 1:8). If Jesus were a created Being, God would not have commanded the angels to worship Him. Furthermore, Paul’s statement that all things created in heaven and on earth were created by Christ (Col. 1:16), would be false.
