| Mar 27 at 19:40 | comment | added | user67844 | Wikipedia article on "Son of Man" (PART 2): Later scholarship then reversed that evaluation. The title "Son of God" is bestowed on other historical figures like Jacob and Solomon; but the Son of man title is claimed only by Jesus. Son of God came to be recognized as a human being, while Son of man, contrary to intuition, was understood as a heavenly being, alluding to the One mentioned in Daniel 7. | |
| Mar 27 at 19:39 | comment | added | user67844 | From the Wikipedia article of the "Son of Man" (PART 1) in the section "comparison to Son of God": Researchers often see Son of man and Son of God as contrasting titles. Originally, these designations were understood in light of Christ’s two natures: Son of man expressed Jesus’ humanity, while Son of God expressed his divinity. Later scholarship then reversed that evaluation. ......................See Part 2 | |
| Mar 27 at 19:25 | comment | added | user67844 | Ray - there is a distinction that should be understood between the "Son of God" which refers to the flesh and blood (temple/body) of Jesus and the "Son of Man" which refers to the Heavenly Father dwelling in that temple. The scripture here says the "Son of Man" will be seen coming with much power and glory. In Matthew 17:2 (the transfiguration) it says "He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light." But the "Son of Man" coming with much power and glory will be a sight many times more spectacular. | |

If so, then I would generalise, that to see somebody's inner capability, it should somehow have produced results already. Not arguing, just trying to better understand Scripture. I really like your army example, +1. | |
