This one question is so easily refuted that it is beyond me how anyone can believe it. Yet, there is a whole “cult” (for lack of a better term) that believe’s it and teaches it. Wondering what that sect is? Its the Jehovah’s Witness. Yup, they think that Jesus was an angel. They came to my door yesterday, and I asked them “what do JW’s say about Jesus?” and their answer was very round about.
This is what they said “Well, we believe he is the Son of God, and our ransomer. That he came from Heaven and died on the cross to save us from our sins.” Sounds pretty normal right? WRONG!… After that I asked them “So do you believe He was an angel?” (because of course I already knew they did, but they were hedgeing answering that one.) and they said “Well yes we do, but He was the Son of God, He was an angel because He came from Heaven.” NOPE wrong again! Well, I then stated “So you do not believe He was God?”
and they said “No he was an angel” And there we have it folks, a false “savior” who has no actual power over sin.
Well, at the time I was caught off guard and did not have my Bible or the appropriate verse handy (shame on me! “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”). This morning however I cracked open my Bible to John 1:1-18
John 1:1-18"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and"
. Within these passages is the answer to Christ’s deity. It is so blatantly obvious, that I just cannot understand how they will gloss over it. I am hoping that they will come back to see if I read their junk, so I can bring up the essential topic once again.
Here is the answer, NO Jesus was not an angel, YES He was/is God, equal in power and glory, and Spirit.
John 1:1
John 1:1"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word
was God.”
What is the Word?? well skip to verse 14 “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us…” and a bit later the Word become flesh, is named verse 17 “…but grace and truth come by Jesus Christ”.
Well there you have it. It might seem incomprehensible, the Trinity(corrected), but nevertheless it is scriptural.

p.s. there are other verses that address this issue, many others, but this one is pretty blatant, and i think it is sufficient. If you still want to see more verses just mention it in the comments and I will post a list of more.
