“‘The Angel of the LORD’ Isn’t An Angel, He’s Jesus”?
“Some say the Angel of the LORD in the Hebrew Scriptures is no different from other angels. But He is far different. In fact, He is God Himself.”—-Trinitarian Website
It is boldly claimed by many that Jesus Christ is Almighty God. However, it is very awkward for these folks to support their belief that Jesus is eternally co-equal and co-eternal with Almighty God the Father, and yet he’s never mentioned in the Old Testament (OT), but the holy Spirit is. When we read the New Testament, however, we cannot miss the active role that Jesus plays as Savior and Head of the Church. To support their eternal Triune God dogma, they have concocted the unscriptural idea that Jesus,, was “the angel of the LORD”, who is mentioned a number of times in the OT.
This is the viewpoint that they argue from, and we here, at Bible Authenticity, are defending what the scriptures actually say. Notice the arguments presented in the following discussion with these proponents. (“BA” stands for us here at this website, and “T” stands for Trinitarian.)
