Why are archangels said to be the greatest and or best angels, when online it says Serpahim are ranked the highest in the hierarchy(1st) and it says Archangel are (8th)in the low tier of the angel hierarchy?

Isn't it different in each religion?

That might be why I'm getting different answers then actually!

A local pastor here said that the archangels are the greatest angels and when I asked him why Seraphim are ranked higher in the hierarchy he just said that's wrong.

You might want to reconsider your pastor. He literally knows less than me on this subject. I mean, I'm pretty sure the fucking X-Files knows more than he does.

You should tell your pastor that the Valar rank above the Maiar, who are above man.

In the Wikipedia hierarchy page it has seraphim ranked the highest and somehow Michael is considered a seraph that's an Archangel but in his case it seems like Archangel is a title instead

It is. Also, archangels are not the lowest ranked - they are in the lowest choir/group, which is a fundamental difference. The highest group in christianity contains the Seraphs, the Cherubim and the Thrones, all of which are directly involved with God and the Throne of God himself. It's also further confusing that some make a distinction between what actually IS an archangel, as well as saying capitalization matters.

So the hierarchy isn't really a rank just a organization of functions?

And the difference in capitalization is what differentiates (A)rchangel Michael(prince of all angels) and (a)rchangels?

That's pretty cool actually thanks for the clarification !

I'm pretty sure Persona is not a religion.

Who posted persona/smt stuff in the thread?
