Some interesting comments at the above link, including the three men that appeared to Abraham in Genesis 18:1-2. Catholic ping!

I’ve always believed that the one who walked on was Christ or God personified.

No." Just "No"?
If Yahweh appeared to Abraham, and as John tells us, "No man has seen the Father and lived." then who exactly did Abraham visit with?

The question is about the angel of the Lord. God calls him the angel of the Lord. That means he’s the angel of the Lord.

“In the beginning was The Word...”
It’s pretty self-explanatory to me.
To: WXRGina
Michael means, “one who is like God.” The term Arch-angel means, “the chief messenger.”
If one who is like God and is the chief messenger is not Christ, than who is it?
I find that the main difficulty with those that reject this is that they view the term angel as only a species and not a function. Scripture is clear that humans have been called angels, because they carried a message.

Humans are not angels. Nor are they called angels anywhere in the Bible.
I take the Bible at its Word, and the angel of the Lord is the angel of the Lord, not Jesus. We CAN over-think these things, you know.

An angel is a created being.

Remember that Christ while being fully human was ALSO fully DIVINE.
Yes, he might have appeared as an angel.

That means he’s the angel of the Lord. Except Abraham bargained with Him for Sodom.

Nor are they called angels anywhere in the BibleThen to whom is Jesus communicating via John in the first chapters of Revelation, when He dictates letters to the "angel" of each of the seven churches?
The difficulty here is that there are beings to whom the name "angels" has been given, and then there is the use of the term "angel" in its original sense of being the messenger, just as there are lions who are a specific type of being, and then there are those like the Lion of the Tribe of Judah who is not a lion, but who performs the function symbolized by a lion.

This is ‘too complicated’ for me. I’ll just stick with angels being God’s messengers to mankind.

The angel of the churches is the angel of the churches, not a human.

Michael the Arch-angel is not a created being, if He is the Christ.
