@stan, I cannot claim to have studied the Bible enough and the world is full of temptations and obligations that unfortunately leave so little time for that.
Even so, from what I know, you are right and I thank you for posting about it. Jesus was indeed the one meeting Abraham, the one speaking to Moses and giving him the Ten Commandments.
As it pertains to the Trinity discussion, I think this overcomes our understanding, how God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost can be one yet separate persons. It is something I have come to accept as everything points to it and maybe, one day, I will be able to comprehend its entirety.
One other thing coming to mind while reading the comments on the post is that if we stumble so much upon this subject, I don't know what will happen when we will talk about Jesus' human nature on Earth, heaven/hell, the soul, the afterlife, the Sanctuary, the Book of Life and so on.

Agreed. I think the most helpful point we can make is that any interpretation of one verse of Scripture must be consistent with all other Scripture. If there are two ways to interpret a verse, choose the one that agrees with all other Scripture.
When you find two verses that seem to disagree, it is an opportunity to learn something. Don't just pick the one that agrees with your prior thinking. Find an understanding that makes both true - for they are both true.
What I have seen is that the Bible explains itself. Found a doubting verse? Think it is so due to translation? Keep reading and see the meaning further. It is always explained again so that it confirms the true meaning.
