First of all the angel of the Lord is not an angel. The Hebrew word for angel is "malak" and it can mean a real angel but it also simply mean messenger. It depends on how the word is used in context. For example at Malachie 3:1, "Behold, I am going to send my angel, and he will clear the way before Me, And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddengly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming says the Lord of hosts." The angel in this verse is none other than John the Baptist and John is not an angel but a messenger. Just read Mark 1:1-3.
Secondly, Hebrews 6:13,14 is clear as crystal that it was God Almighty that swore the oath. Yet at Genesis 22 you have the angel of the Lord calling out from heaven two times and he swears the oath at Genesis 22:16 where it says crystal clear, "By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord.
The other problems you have is the fact that Abraham would not sacrifice his son to an angel. Thirdly, why does the angel of the Lord call out from heaven two times when at other places the Lord God calls out from heaven Himself? Exodus 20:22, "Then the Lord said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, You yourselves have seen that I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU FROM HEAVEN."
So quasar, please, please spare us the pain of you constintly posting for us to refer to your post #1 to post #1,000. You continue to fail in addressing one word of anyones post. You keep defering to your unbiblical post which most of us have read. Let me challenge you to please read the whole chapter of Genesis 22 and tell me why you disagree with what it says?
