Who is the Son of Man?
Lizzie and Yahya/Saeed discuss whether Jesus is the Son of God, and why Jesus uses the title Son of Man?
13 ‘In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a] coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14
Again the high priest asked him, ‘Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?’ 62 ‘I am,’ said Jesus. ‘And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.’ 63 The high priest tore his clothes. ‘Why do we need any more witnesses?’ he asked. 64 ‘You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?’ Mark 14: 61-64
The High Priest immediately recognizes a blasphemous statement of Jesus when he mistakenly says “Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One” rather than saying a correct citation of Daniel “Like” Son of Man, so that Jesus is counted of slandering or mocking the Jewish Heavenly figure with a cult of a “real” human deity.
Everything that wrongly connects a “real” human with God’s holy presence is counted as slandering or mocking the Jewish Heavenly figure, and it helps explain why they the Jews stoned Stephen by the same reason of blasphemy, i.e. a cult of a “real” human deity:
Acts 7
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
Now, compare that Stephen’s slander with what actually Daniel says by using the word “Like”:
Dan 7:13
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one LIKE the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
It is so unbearably blasphemous for the Jews to have, hear, and perceive any real human deity, let alone a real human who sits at God’s presence.
Those erasers who omit the word of Scripture will be also blotted out their life and names from the Book of Life and be refused from entering the city of Jerusalem.
Rev 22:19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The Trinitarians omit the word LIKE in Dan 7:13.
Dan 7:13
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one LIKE the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
