Since we know that the angel of the Lord isn't God in Zechariah 1, we know that Jacob didn't wrestle with God. It literally says he wrestled an angel and you can't see it.

Summary of Mikes nonsense:
God says He isn't a man, Mike says God is a man.
God isn't an angel, Mike says God is an angel.
God never said He would become a man, Mike disagrees.
God is explicitly identified as the Father and creator, Mike imagines God is a trinity.
The Bible never says God is a trinity, Mike imagines things that the Bible never says.
God is a person, Mike denies God is a person.

You wouldn't agree with the results. You reject the literal pain text reading of basically everything the Bible says.
Yes, the Father makes known to us that the Son Jesus is God. (Heb 1:8,9)
Do the Father's testimony that the eternal life is in His son, true or not?
Then who's the eternal life in 1John 5:20?
You can make the Father not telling the truth, by your dishonest answer.
1Jn 5:11 And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Nope. Just your confusion of ideas.
The oldest manuscripts I mean was the papyrus 66 and papyrus 75, see it in the N7 below.(P66P75)
I also quoted Westcott and Hort's "The New Testament in The Original Greek," with same rendition.
It's not a translation but in Greek.
Here, Updated American Standard Version+, again is of the same context with note N7, and proves that it was recorded as the "original words." Yes, there are variant readings but was not described as original wordings.
(UASV+)John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten GodN7 who is in the bosom of the Father,N8 that one has made him fully known.
N7 John 1:18 (UASV+)The original words were μονογενὴς θεός or ο μονογενης θεος “only-begotten God” or “the only-begotten God” (P66 P75 א B C* L 33 syrhmp 33 copbo) A variant reading is ο μονογενης υιος “the only begotten Son” A C3 (Ws) Θ Ψ f1, Maj syrc).

I commented on this on page 2,688. Did you see it?
Yes, I see it and already explained.
What I presented is from "original wordings" I highlighted blue below.
And what you've presented in 2,688 are described "variant reading" I highlighted green below but is not described as original wordings.
This presentation is about "original words" vs "variant reading." I hope now, it's being understood.
N7 John 1:18 (UASV+)The original words were μονογενὴς θεός or ο μονογενης θεος “only-begotten God” or “the only-begotten God” (P66 P75 א B C* L 33 syrhmp 33 copbo) A variant reading is ο μονογενης υιος “the only begotten Son” A C3 (Ws) Θ Ψ f1, Maj syrc).

The problem with me is I only read English. And I see the oldest English translations say son. The newer ones have God and I believe that's because the translators are trinity people adding their opinions.
I quote verses and references, they are not my opinion.
Yes, the oldest English translation, described as "variant reading."
While the Greek were English translations derived from, says "only-begotten God" as original wordings.
We will be really misled if we just rely to paraphrase translations, the product of the translators thoughts not from the original wordings of the Bible.

Glad to know you agree with this now.
John 17
3Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
