Re: And, interestingly enough...Re: "Jesus claimed to be the Son of Man"

The "Son of Man" is a reference to Adam's state of being prior to the fall.

In the old testament there are nearly 200 references to Son of Man, here's some:

Numbers 23:19
" God is not a man, that He should lie,Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it?Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Job 35:8
"Your wickedness is for a man like yourself,And your righteousness is for a son of man.

Psalm 8:4
What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?

Psalm 80:17
Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

Psalm 144:3
O LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?Or the son of man, that You think of him?

Isaiah 51:12
"I, even I, am He who comforts you Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies And of the son of man who is made like grass,

Jeremiah 49:18
"Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors," says the LORD, " no one will live there, nor will a son of man reside in it.


Jesus was not the first, nor the last, Son of Man. If you are a Son of Man, beej, then according to the bible you are just like Jesus EXCEPT that Jesus is THE Christ.
