| Mar 4, 2023 at 22:45 | comment | added | Mr. Bond | @Nat Please read my answer in this thread which explains who the angel of the Lord is and why he is the preincarnate Jesus Christ. | |
| Mar 4, 2023 at 21:58 | comment | added | Lyd | The assumption was that I was trying to prove a point when I clearly was not. I had no idea the Angel of the Lord is God. I didn’t know that was biblically explained which wouldn’t make this question an actual question. I’ll find out where this is explained. Thanks. | |

Now, I understand your question after making it more clear. He spoke as Himself and as God because the angel of the Lord is God. If you would have read my answers I explained why? God the Father cannot be seen physically even according to Jesus Himself. John 5:37,6:46. The Son is the ONLY manifestation and revelation of the Father. John 14:9. What is know of the Father is revealed through the Son. John 1:18; 10:30; 12:45; Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:3. That's why? | |
| Mar 4, 2023 at 15:53 | comment | added | Lyd | I don’t want to prove a point I want to understand because I know unbelievers will think the exact same thing. Since you can’t answer why he spoke both as himself and as God your weird assumptions/comments are not useful. I need an actual answer for myself and others. | |
| Mar 3, 2023 at 18:47 | comment | added | Mr. Bond | @Nat The second you said these words, "He should’ve said I know you do not fear me specifically." In logic this is known as "an argument from silence." This means you are presenting negative evidence of what God did NOT do, hoping that doing so will somehow prove you point. An example! In the book of Acts not one person said that Jesus Christ was God, therefore Jesus is not God. What are you going to do with the other books of the Bible or the gospels that say He is God? And btw, Genesis 22:12 makes perfect sense as to who is doing the talking, God! Genesis 22:16 verifies it. | |

Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” instead of saying now I know you do not fear ME if he goes on to say you have not withheld from ME your son. He should’ve said I know you do not fear me specifically. If I’m a believer whose faith won’t be shaken and I can see so many things not just this that don’t make sense, how hard it must be to convince an unbeliever. I can go to other verses but they have never even read the word to even do research :( | |
