It Was No Man And Not Even An Angel But God Himself Who Rescued Us From Egypt
If the story of Passover teaches us that we, the jews, were not saved by any angel
Then doesn't it not stand to reason that this myth that Jesus was the one who saved the jews not hold weight?
And to drive the point home, The LORD is our God. The LORD is one.

The account of God saving the Jewish people during the Passover is found in the Book of Exodus, specifically in Exodus Chapter 12.
Here's what the text says:
Exodus 12:12-13: "For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The1 blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt."2
This passage clearly states that God Himself would pass through Egypt and strike down the firstborn. The blood of the sacrificed lamb on the doorposts was the sign for God to "pass over" those houses, protecting the Israelites inside from the final plague.
While the term "angel of death" is sometimes used in Jewish tradition to describe the agent of this final plague, the biblical text in Exodus 12 explicitly attributes the act of passing through and striking down the firstborn to God. The focus is on God's direct action and His covenant with the Israelites, symbolized by the blood of the lamb.
