Great finds. The Angel of the Lord is Christ (I believe). Add to your list the scriptures about Melchizedek

Christ was not walking the earth before Incarnation. To imply otherwise is blasphemy and heresy. It was taught by Gnostics and we see the same pitfall repeat itself with every generation.

Hebrews has actually created a confusion with verse 7:3 with regard to his lineage. Guys, this is not new stuff! Obviously Christ has a Mother.

The similarity between him and Christ is that both were priests without "descent" (not being of the Levi line). The word Son of God was a title given to any anointed person (kings, prophets, angels, etc.)

It isn't blasphemy or heresy. It is Biblical.

He did in the New Testament but not in the Old.

In the OT Christ did not walk on earth as an Incarnate, but rather as a theophany. There is a difference.
