@OldeEnglish I understand the request to not have an "infinite conversation" so I guess I'll just say this and be done with it. (@ name will work here to give a notification)

It is a matter of interpretation, I mean... I can use the Bible to support literally any position. We all know some interpretations are wrong. Anyways, the subject of how to properly interpret scripture is... a long one.

Regarding the claim of "1 Archangel" ... that's just false?

All sources agree on the first 4 names of the archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel.

@Wyrsa - There are several reasons why the book of Enoch was not considered "Canonical", the main reason being that it is demonstratively false, a fanciful tale at best, written anonymously some 3000 thousand years after the patriarch walked the earth. While I can't speak with any authority with regard to the Eastern Orthodox and Western traditions, I would surmise that they may well have been, initially at least, influenced by same.
What may have influenced these churches further is of no concern to me. The fact that Gabriel is actually mentioned in the canonical scriptures, without Archangel status should be very telling, just not to you I guess.

@OldeEnglish The Early Church accepted the Deuterocanon. Why shouldn't we?
Additionally... Michael is referred to as "one of the chief princes" ... Why the plurality? :(

@Wyrsa - I guess sometimes one just can't help some people. Now you are just being annoying. Anything else you say will just be ignored. Goodbye!!
