Son of Man:...
1. A member of the order of humanity (Ezek. 2:1,3,8ff: Dan.8:17).
2. Used in a Messianic sense in San. 7:13,14. Jesus applies the term to Himself many, times in the Gospels (Matt. 8:20; 9:6; 10:23; 11:19; 12:8, etc). Sometimes He uses it in connection with His earthy mission, but He also uses it when describing His final triumph as Redeemer and Judge (Matt. 16:27f; 19:28; 24:30; 25:31). He appears to identify Himself with the Son of Man of Dan. 7:13,14.

an incredible question !!! Equality that we aspire for isn't a mattress of roses!!! What we've at the instant is the selective utility according to gender adjustments and dtrengths and weaknesses. it is going to take a real miracle in each guy and woman to have an open strategies and then in basic terms we are able to have actual equality. actual equality is a few thing based on the reality that we are people somewhat than guy or woman. The day we communicate of human rights instead of adult adult males or womens rights is while there may be a miracle. till ultimately then we can stay in a international with an imbalance whther we care to admit it or not!!!

Are you trying to understand Christianity or discount it? This is the first thing, to see whether or not you are sincere.
Indeed, according to Christianity (proper), Jesus was fully man and fully God. He was killed, because so many believed this when He was alive.
Of course, Muslims often say that this was made up later. Can I prove it?
We can go to the writings of the Church father, they go along until the Tradition was written into Doctrine:
The Didache
"After the foregoing instructions, baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living [running] water. . . . If you have neither, pour water three times on the head, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Didache 7:1 [A.D. 70]).
Ignatius of Antioch
"[T]o the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God" (Letter to the Ephesians 1 [A.D. 110]).
"For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit" (ibid., 18:2).
Justin Martyr
"We will prove that we worship him reasonably; for we have learned that he is the Son of the true God himself, that he holds a second place, and the Spirit of prophecy a third. For this they accuse us of madness, saying that we attribute to a crucified man a place second to the unchangeable and eternal God, the Creator of all things; but they are ignorant of the mystery which lies therein" (First Apology 13:5–6 [A.D. 151]).
Note the dates.
I'm pleased that you had an oppurtunity here the view of a Catholic on this issue.

It is another phrase to describe Jesus, and it is just as it appears. It means he is a son of man. That said, he is also, the son of God, as is also stated. He is the only human, ever, to be both God and man. God incarnate, as the prophecies foretold, to very exact details. Very cool indeed.....

Just to show that Jesus was a descendant from King David.

I would have to look up all hte references, hebrews and greeks had many words to describe things, like Love. That answer would have to be a couple of weeks study :)

Hey sister! Well I beleive it means just what it is... SON of man= Human being, son of a human. So no, he (Jesus) is not the son of god.

It means whatever the Christians want it to mean.
In the Old Testament it just meant being a human.
The Christians twist it to mean that you are some kind of god or something.
Like how Son of God meant that you were an angel and they twist it to mean that you are the literal son of a god.
If you were both a Son of Man and a Son of God then you were a nephilim and god would have smote you.
