I believe the first question asked was for you to prove me wrong. I'm still asking prove me wrong.
Like I said Christ is the only part of the Trinity that appears as a man, it was Jesus who visited Abraham before Sodom and Gomorrah. Christ did not enter the cities only the angels. I know neither situation refers to Christ, nor do they refer to the Father, the Father is always called and referred to as Spirit, Christ the Son is always seen as man and the Holy Spirit is seen as Spirit or dove and one case as flaming tongues.

You see that's where the problem lies. The OT doesn't include Jesus though it does include god appearing in a variety of ways and forms. The Hebrews who wrote it don't see the messiah showing up early. Why should you other than that you are projecting later Christian scripture on it? Absent a gloss of Christian theology there is no Jesus in those verses, just god appearing in human form.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
