What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus the Son of man?

Answer 1

According to christianity Jesus is either son of god or son of woman. So, possibly he was referring to some other person!
Another possibly may be that he was trying to deny divinty..In this case "man" means mankind. He was among the children of Adam.

Answer 2

It means just that, he's called
Son of man". Called is an image, not the actual. That's why a capital S is used.
The father will manifest in the image of his son. Look at the word image. Image isn't the actual, but a likeness.
Because of peope's refusal to believe that all things are possible with God, especially the scholars and preachers, they insist that the father was the son himself, not God wearing a costume (suit) that is only an image of his son, so that the people will be convinced that the son had already walked the earth.
For some stupid reason scholars and preachers are convinced that the human body is the actual man himself, instead of the human body is only a suit of the man you see on the outside is actually inside. God was inside the costume, not his son.
If you put on a Barney costume, are you the actual Barney? Or is the outer body only a suit.
The human body is nothing more than the materials that were used to make the suit that it is. The actual individual is inside, not outside.
That's the same with Jesus Christ, he was actually the father, not his son. His son was Adam. Adam never perished. The bible says it wasn't Adam who sinned, but it was Eve who did.
God didn't tell Adam he sinned when he ate from the tree. People assume that. God told Adam he will have to till because of what he had done. If you had read those verses about Adam, the reason God made Adam was for him to till. The bible clearly says God's son will return in the last days to harvest the crop he tilled.
Just because preachers and scholars preaches what they had been preaching about Jesus doesn't mean the things they had been preaching are true. The bible clearly says that all of the priest and prophets will be false except for the only one who'll appear on the earth in the last days, not the days of Jesus.
The bible clearly says the only one true prophet will not be God. Jesus was God, so that automatically eliminate Jesus from being the real son. Which means he was only an image of him, in other words, an actor.
I am aware what I have just revealed is true and an absolute fact.

Answer 3

"Son of man" was literally "son of Adam." The term had two basic applications in Jesus' time. One simply meant "a human being." The other was from apocalyptic movements. They saw the reference to "one with an appearance of a son of man" in the book of Daniel to be an indication of a special figure who would appear in the end times.

Answer 4

Jesus was both the Son of God and the Son of Man---He was God in human fleshly form.

Most early Christians had no problem with Christ's deity--it was His total humanity they struggled to accept. It would seem that people today have the opposite problem.

I have heard it described as not that He was 50% man and 50% God, but rather He was 100% human and 100% God at the same time. I know this concept is hard to grasp, and people on here argue about the concept of the Trinity and monotheism vs. polytheism all the time, but if God can be omnipresent, why can people not grasp that one manifestation of Himself can be in the form of a human in order to live as a man and offer the way for mankind to restore fellowship with Him?

Answer 5

It means that Jesus is fully human. When the Bible calls Jesus the Son of God, it means that Jesus is fully God.

Answer 6

God the Father is also known as The Man of Holiness. Therefore, Jesus is the Son of The Man of Holiness. Thus, the shortened version of Son of Man.

Answer 7

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. (14) 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.


Revelation 1:13-18 And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. (14) His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. (15) His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. (16) He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. (17) When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last, (18) and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

Answer 8

Many of the Old Testament prophecies, are addressed to the 'Son of Man', who is all of us. We are all 'Man'. The book of Luke addresses those prophecies best, and illustrates how man's efforts, humanism, etc fall a little short of recognizing the messiah ( as all did, when He preached ressurection ).

'The Son of Man' is symbolized by the third beast, that stands before God in heaven ( Revelation ). He call's the third horseman. woe...woe...woe...

Answer 9

"Son of Man" is a reference to Jesus' humanity, not a denial of His deity. By becoming a man, Jesus did not cease being God. The incarnation of Christ did not involve the subtraction of deity, but the addition of humanity.

Answer 10

That means that Jesus was a prophet as all prophets were called son of man (old testament)..!!
