I am asking you how the text reads. You are asking me a question that I don't know the answer to without scripture. I just accept the scripture, not my own opinion. I don't have an opinion.
I don't have it before me, but clearly Abraham saw not just 1 figure, but 3.

Looking up, he saw three figures standing near him. Perceiving this, he ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them and, bowing to the ground,

I think we need to be teaching by now.
he has been taught.
see what he believes.
God fathered Jesus
but even though God fathered Jesus, in his view, it does not make Him God, only human.

He ain't never going to believe Jesus is God with how everyone tossed Scripture at him.

you got to get him to the roots and dig em up and plant the good seed afterward.

I am not sure what you are saying. I believe that Jesus is human and the Son of God.

Yes. Very good. Thank you.

See John 17:5.
before you can understand Verse 5, you need to know Verse 4:

4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

it's a partnership.
Jesus, Glorified the Father on Earth, now it is the Father's turn to Glorify Jesus back to His Original Place when He returns back to Heaven.

you really twisted this Verse 5 way out of context.
