Jesus said He's the son of man. True: because He was born of Mary.
Don't stop there baby, Jesus also said "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30).
Hmm Jesus is truthful I must say.

Jesus existed as spirit creature in heaven before becoming a human on earth. He is called the only begotten-son because he is the only creation God made alone. Jesus then helped in creating the others so they are not "only-begotten" by God.
Colossians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him."
In the Gospel accounts the expression 'son of man' is found nearly 80 times, applying in every case to Jesus Christ, being used by him to refer to himself. (Mt 8:20; 9:6; 10:23) The occurrences outside the Gospel accounts are at Acts 7:56; Hebrews 2:6; and Revelation 1:13; 14:14.
Jesus’ application of this expression to himself clearly showed that God’s Son was now indeed a human, having ‘become flesh’ (Joh 1:14), having ‘come to be out of a woman’ through his conception and birth to the Jewish virgin Mary. (Ga 4:4; Lu 1:34-36) Hence he had not simply materialized a human body as angels had previously done; he was not an incarnation but was actually a ‘son of mankind’ through his human mother.—Compare 1Jo 4:2, 3; 2Jo 7

That is actually a reference to the Book of Daniel.
Daniel 7:13-14:
" I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a *son of man* and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

He claim both because he was the son of God in spirit and son of man being born of a woman conceive in the spirit of God. It is written let god be true and every man a liar(contradictors). The bible says that the angel of the lord appeared in a burning bush to Moses and the voice of the lord came out from the burning bush you see God is all powerful and man profess God but denies the power of God the bible says "that God is not the author of confusion" nor dose he contradict himself im a Christian and i believe that he was both and most christian i know beleives the same..

Punter, Do you believe in the resurrection of Christ? Muslims reject this teaching...Indeed the sign of Jonah was the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day Jesus did arise.
Mat.16:13 ¶ When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Hold on, you can't just take those verses by themselves and out of context! This is the amazing thing about Jesus: he is Son of Man AND Son of God. Jesus often referred to himself as Son of Man, but he never disputed or corrected anyone who called him Son of God, ie. in Matthew 16 when he asks Simon Peter who he thinks Jesus is, and Simon Peter replies, "You are the Christ; the Son of the living God."
But if you really just want one verse saying that Jesus is the Son of God...
'"They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?"
He replied, "You are right in saying I am."'
(Luke 22:70)

''Both true'' jesus is a son of man and a son of GOD'' because if you became a believer and a follower of christ you will be rewarded to have the right to be called a son of GOD even if we are Human'and christ called a son of man because he grew up in the side of joseph and Mary'' joseph is not a physical father of jesus,we all know that jesus came from heaven,and he was ascended back to heaven''pls.watch the movie jesus of nazareth you will learn''believe me''

He is both. He laid claim to both those terms and only he could being fully God and Man at the same time. It's like the reason that he was killed. He claimed to be God because he said he was the Son of God.
It's great to see you reading the Bible but keep on reading and you'll answer your own questions.

son of man means the one born amongst men. i'm not quite sure but i think only Matthew's gospel uses this specific term. each gospel was written for a specific group of people and the interpretation of what was said needed to fit more or less the people's beliefs, values and life style. anyway maybe i'm not giving the exact answer to your question. it has more thorough details to discuss about but i don't remember them well. the first gospel in our standard bible was written approx 70 years after Jesus' death so...
