In post #154 I backdoored the application of the non-deity Hebrew title onto the angel of the Lord, using Psalm 110:1 - no follower of Jesus I’ve ever met has rejected identifying the Son as the person whom Yahweh is addressing as David’s lord (Heb.
adoni, pronounced adonee) in that passage.
In this post I’m going to go through the front door with an example of someone speaking directly to the angel of the Lord - whom you believe is the Son.
“The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior.’ Then Gideon said to him, ‘O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us?...’
(Judges 6:12-13 NASB)
Here is a link to an interlineal of Judges 6:13.

Are you able to read Hebrew? If you are, you will instantly recognize that the angel of the Lord is addressed with the non-deity title “adoni.” The angel of the Lord is an angel, not the deity. If we’re unable to read the verse in Hebrew, we can still see this is true in the English translation. The translators have correctly rendered the Hebrew in English with the title “lord” which distinguishes the angel from God.
If Gideon had believed he was addressing God himself rather than the representative of God, then the Hebrew word Gideon would have used is
adonai, the deity title, not
adoni, the non-deity title.
