reading again one of your links, it says:
Although Metatron exerts some power over the physical world, he does not have the ability to human forgive sins as HaShem does, for he is a mere messenger of G-d.
But we read:
Zechariah 3:3,4 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel. He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes.”
And here another extremely strange passage:
And the angel of the LORD came, and sat under the terebinth which was in Ophrah, that belonged unto Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him: ‘The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.’ 13 And Gideon said unto him: ‘Oh, my lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all His wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying: Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.’ 14 And the LORD turned towards him, and said: ‘Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian; have not I sent thee?’ 15 And he said unto him: ‘Oh, my lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.’ 16 And the LORD said unto him: ‘Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.’ 17 And he said unto him: ‘If now I have found favour in thy sight, then show me a sign that it is thou that talkest with me. 18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and lay it before thee.’ And he said: ‘I will tarry until thou come back.’ 19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal; the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the terebinth, and presented it. {P}
20 And the angel of God said unto him: ‘Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth.’ And he did so. 21 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight. 22 And Gideon saw that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said: ‘Alas, O Lord GOD! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face.’ 23 And the LORD said unto him: ‘Peace be unto thee; fear not; thou shalt not die.’ Judges 6
So interchangeable, so mixed, that it was The angel of the Lord accepting worship when the man was asking the Lord to wait and the Lord said He will wait? why would the angel do this in the first place if the LORD was already directly speaking?
So i do not get why equating the Lord with the Angel would be called blasphemy if God revealed things in the opposite way , revealing passages where the Angel appears yet at the same time it is the Lord personally speaking, or the Angel speaking then suddenly the Lord speaking then again the Lord speaking in just 2 sentences, or the Lord will wait personally to receive an offering from Gideon yet it is the Angel who receives it, or the Lord cannot be seen and live yet the same applies to the Angel by equating seeing the angel with seeing the Lord Himself when the Lord did not include angels. All these cannot be brushed away just because the angel speaks with authority from the Lord that is why am trying to assess any argument presented to see if it is worth believing in instead of how the Lord Himself revealed things…
