The duality of Christ's nature, human and divine, cannot be fully and definitively answered. If we could, we would possess divine minds ourselves. That said, we theologians have made progress at trying to understand the concepts of the Trinity of God and God the Son's role in that Trinitarian doctrine. There are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one true, eternal God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; although distinguished by their personal properties. Jesus clearly stated his divinity in Joh 8:58: Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." The Jews hearing his claim understood exactly what He was saying and planned to stone Him.
In short, Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.
I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm
I suggest you start there to dig deeper into this topic.

John 4;25,26-Jesus here tells a woman who He is, [The Messiah, the Savior,] you can read numerous times where the Savior is the son of God. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life, He called Himself the door [to God] He said 'before Abraham was, I Am,' [being equal with God] . He also never called himself a prophet ,or a man, but we know He was those things too.
now for myself, I am not the holy spirit I cannot convict you, but I can witness to what I know is true,

It's written in the Bible many, many times that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus refers to Himself as such. Jesus was born of a human, Mary-- read the Christmas story in the Bible. In essence, God fathered Jesus through Mary. This makes Jesus God AND man. God can't die but man can. Jesus had to be both so He could suffer and die as a man and atone for, forgive, deliver mankind from sin and damnation as only holy God can. While on earth Jesus was both God and man.

He was and is:
Son of Man
Son of David
Son of God "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on Him should have everlasting life. Jn 3:16"
There are many 3's in the Bible. Jesus fulfilled all 3 of these; according to many prophecies, the most important- being in the belly of a whale for "3" days and coming out. A shadow of being underground in death and rising from the ground alive to live forever more.

Mighty Prophet of God Jesus(pbuh), never called himself son of God.
We can not abuse him calling him son of God.
He call himself Son of man.
His birth was a mirracle, without intervention of male.
And God compare as Creation of Prophet Adam.
Prphet Adam has been created withou male and female, so it was very easy for God Almighty to make another person from female without male, very easy jobe for The God Almighty.

(John 3:18) 18Â He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
(Hebrews 10:29) 29Â Of how much more severe a punishment, do YOU think, will the man be counted worthy who has trampled upon the Son of God and who has esteemed as of ordinary value the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has outraged the spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt?
(Matthew 10:33) 33Â but whoever disowns me before men, I will also disown him before my Father who is in the heavens.

1. he didn't call himself son of man as far as i know - paul called him that
2. son of man is the hebrew word for human being
3. son of god also comes from later writings not from j himself

Whether or not he said it...I'm not sure...I'm certain that the Bible clearly claims (true or not) that Jesus was the son of God and fulfilled the prophecies of the Messiah.

He did call God "father" but in a way he is* the father of us all so that proves squat.
* If God exists and created us all blah blah blah
