He can't do this. The Jesus as OT angel bullshit is evangelical revisionism. He will likely play Bible hopscotch tying together unassociated passages. First he will site passages from the Gospel of John indicating that Jesus existed before Abraham and came before John the Baptist to claim that Jesus existed before his birth. Next, there will be some reference to Gideon and how the author switched from using 'angel of the lord' to just 'lord'; the conclusion being that this must mean Jesus.
Idiots like this conveniently forget that in the OT 'Lord' referred directly to God. At this point you'll hear some bullshit about the trinity. When you challenge that with the fact that trinity doesn't appear in the NT, you will be countered with a reference to the baptism formula in Matthew 28:19 (father, son, holy ghost). You then point out that all other NT baptism formulas only invoke the name of Jesus and that it is well established by biblical scholars that the triune reference in Matthew was a later Catholic insertion. This will be dismissed by the evangelical since the only thing worse than the devil is a catholic and understanding that the basis of their belief is based on a catholic forgery is too much to handle.
The easier answer is that the OT was written by Jews long before Jesus (fact or fiction) was on the scene; meaning that there is no possible way anything in the OT referenced Jesus. At this point there will likely be some bullshit about God being the ultimate author in some form or fashion or at least parading as a muse. I then get to ask why the fuck God doesn't know the cure for leprosy. Inane excuses will be given making the infallibilist look even more stupid than already established and great fun will be had by all.
Amen.

There's a similar example, where god is quite happy to see children sacrificed.

Can you give the bible verse that says that Jesus was the angel that stopped the sacrifice? Why wouldn't the text call Jesus and angel?

It's the same sort of revisionist shit that turned Satan into "that old serpent" from the garden of edam.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

insanity would set in for people in heaven and in hell
if that is a routine schedule.
Your activities in hell would depend on which hell you were in. If you are in the Greek Hades it might be rather gloomy. If your are in the Islamic hell you are really screwed. If you are in the Christian hell it's not that bad. After all, you could have been in death or the sea. The good news is that you will get out of the Christian hell but Hades and the Islamic hell are forever.
Once you get out of the Christian hell on Judgment Day you might be able to get into the giant golden cube named New Jerusalem, but only if you are a member of one of the twelve tribes of Israel and can pass through one of their pearly gates. Otherwise you will be tossed into the lake of fire with the bad Jews and all of the Gentiles.
The question is like a cow asking what will become of it when it's killed. Some parts might become steaks while other parts will become hamburger. Its hide might become a man's coat, shoes, and belts. But it won't ever become another cow.

(do you actually believe in demons, btw?) Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "Legion," he (demon posssed man) replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they (demons) begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. The reason they 'begged' was they feared that they would be 'restrained' (tormented) like other demons that were currently confined to the abyss. (those particular ones were already abyss 'bound' for especially egresious acts during Noah's time awaiting their final judgement).

That doesn't answer the question.

If they ever do another edition of the bible, to make it more accurate, they should insert "allegedly" at the start of each sentence.

No it doesn't but it raises plenty of doubts about Snowball's mental stability. That is some bat shit weird stuff to espouse in this day and age.
If you can't get a nuanced perspective on your religious beliefs why subject yourself to a literal one? Surely you can be a believer without all this nonsense.
