    I am interested to see that you believe that the Archangel Michael and Jesus are one.

    How do you cope with the SDA belief in the Trinity?

    That does not mention Michael the Archangel only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. How can Michael be the fourth member of the Trinity?

    They believe that Michael IS God! (They point out that his name means "who is like God"). So "Jesus" and "Michael" are two different names of "God the Son" (the second member of the Trinity), unlike the JW's.

    Also, the SDA's and JW's are related; as Russel came out of the Millerite movement (I believe at a later time). So Russelites were sometimes called "radical Millerites".
    David Cloud had also egan reporting from somewhere that originally; the SDA did not believe in the Trinity. But I don't know how reliable whatever source he had was, and he could just be sensationalizing (e.g. trying to dig extra dirt on the group just to have more to denounce them with, as separatists of this stripe often do).
