The interpretation of Gen 18 is not so straight forward as to conclude that God was one of the 3 men. Verse 13, 17 and 22 are not clear whether the Lord is one of the 3 men. In fact, there is a marked distinction between the terms "men" and "the Lord" in the entire chapter 18.
The only point that indicates it could be God plus 2 men is when chapter 19 cuts to the scene when they reach Sodom.
Think it’s pretty clear alone but even if it weren’t 19 cant be ignored
I don't think it is clear. It is clear only if you come in with a preconceived notion that it is. See how they are addressed in the text. "Men" and "the Lord"
I are it but they are also made connected

Don't get me wrong. I'm not claiming anything. All I'm saying is, if you start reading Gen 18 assuming there are 3 men, of which 2 are angels and one is God, you can make it fit. Yet, if you start assuming there are 3 angels plus God, and then read, that can fit too. This second view is mainly supported by the difference in addressing the "men" and "the Lord" in the text.
