And look at the text/context of Exodus 3:2, "And the angel of the Lord appeared to him/Moses in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked and behold the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed." Now look at vs4, "When the Lord saw that he/Moses aside to look, GOD CALLED TO HIM FROM THE MIDST OF THE BUSH," So who called out to Moses from the midst of the bush stan? Was it the angel of the Lord or was it God the Father?
Also, who is saying the following at vs6? "He said also, "I am the God of your father; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Who is that stand, the angel of the Lord or God the Father? And btw, do you see a "Trinity" in these verses as well stan?

God appeared to Abraham twice in human form,once as Melchizedek,king of Salem,and priest of the most high God,who was without descent,having not mother or father,no beginning of days,or end of life,and once with 2 of His angels in human form,where He talked to Abraham about him having a child at his old age,and talked to him about Sodom and Gomorrah,where the 2 angels went.
But these were temporary manifestations,bodies not conceived by a woman,but God created a body out of the dust of the earth to appear before Abraham,and then the body went back to the dust.
Jesus is God manifest in the flesh,made of a woman,made under the law,and the only begotten Son of God,the only human being to ever be conceived by the Spirit,and a permanent manifestation of God,for the throne in heaven is the throne of God and the Lamb,God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.
The 2 manifestations of God to Abraham was not Jesus,but God in a temporary manifestation to Abraham.Jesus is God manifest in the flesh,and the first time Jesus was seen on earth,for Jesus did not get His start of being God and human until God gave Him life in the womb of Mary.

Well there is your big problem stan? You deny the Son of God is eternal especially when you say, "Jesus was born God incarnate and as John 1:14 tells us he was incarnated with The Word who IS God." No, Jesus was already God before He was born as a man. And at John 1:1 it says, "The Word/Logos was WITH God, and the Word/Logos was God."
To be "with" somebody is to be other than yourself. This is why the Trinity teaches there is ONE God who consist of three distinct persons. Not three beings, not three gods and not three separate beings or persons either. Colossians 1:13-16 as well as Hebrews 1:2 shows Jesus Christ preexisted His incarnation as a man. In fact John 1:3 states, ALL things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." Then there is Isaiah 9:6 which shows Jesus Christ existed before He incarnated as a man.
The Bible teaches that the Father SENT the Son at John 20:21, Galatians 4:4-6, 1 John 4:10 and 1 John 4:14. And look at Micah 5:2, "But as for you, Bethlehem Epherathaah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be the ruler of Israel, HIS GOINGS FORTH ARE FROM LONG AGO, FROM THE DAYS OF ETERNITY."
Lastly, and of course no one can see Gods essence or nature and that's why it's been explained to you that to see Jesus is to see the essence or the nature of God. What do you think John 10:30 means? You need to study your Bible a lot more stan.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

It means exactly what it says God the father and God the son are one because God the word was incarnated as Jesus. As the hypostatic union of God and man, Jesus knew all that God knew. Do you not believe that Jesus was the only begotten son of God? What do you think that means? It's painfully obvious that you were the one that needs to study the Bible as you continue to avoid everything that I point out to you.

Gospel is English, but the point is that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was not given to Abraham only the good news that was given to him under the Abrahamic Covenant. It was a promise to Abraham and it was fulfilled by Jesus.
If you want to twist it around to support your produced position that Jesus existed before he actually did then that's your problem but the Bible doesn't teach that.

Perhaps the words of Webster will help you to understand it was first used as an English word as borrowed from the late Latin.

Sadly you don't appear to know how to use a dictionary.You also don't appear to know how to use a Greek Lexicon to determine that the gospel and good news are two different Greek words.
I think you should just stick with what the Bible says in; "not striving about words to the subverting of the hearers".
Hebrew and Greek are much older than Latin or English. There is obviously a linguistic difference between good news and gospel.

Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Once more, giving you th ebenefit etc., Gospel means Good News. And as it is written in the New Testament, pasted above, Abraham received the Gospel or good news which is by the which we are blessed, as foretold Abraham in the same quote. We are blessed in the very same Gospel given to Abraham which makes us blessed in Abraham...

Come on stan, must I spoon feed you everything? What is the difference between the "good news" and "gospel?" Maybe the following will help you out.
"The term gospel is found ninety-nine times in the New American Standard Bible and ninety-two times in the NET Bible. In the Greek New Testament, gospel is the translation of the Greek noun euangelion (occurring 76 times) “good news,” and the verb euangelizo„ (occurring 54 times), meaning “to bring or announce good news.” Both words are derived from the noun angelos, “messenger.” In classical Greek, an euangelos was one who brought a message of victory or other political or personal news that caused joy. In addition, euangelizomai (the middle voice form of the verb) meant “to speak as a messenger of gladness, to proclaim good news.”[SUP] [/SUP]Further, the noun euangelion became a technical term for the message of victory, though it was also used for a political or private message that brought joy."
Secondly, Abraham was given the gospel clearly at Galatians 3:8. "And the Scripture, forseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the GOSPEL beforehand to Abraham, saying, "All the natuions shall be blessed in you." And guess where this happened in the Old Testament? At Genesis 12, Genesis 17, Genesis 18 as well as at Genesis 22. All chapters I gave you earlier regarding the angel of the Lord. And since you mentioned "Lexicon's" look up Strong's number 4283 to help you learn something.
