Great point!In the NSRV, in the Book Ezekiel, the commonly translated ‘son of man’ is translated ‘o mortal.’
It makes one wonder what Jesus has to do to be considered one of us, fully and only man who is mortal than him calling himself that repeatedly?
There are two main ironies in all this Wrangler, Christ wanted to make these very, very, clear...:
1. Christ used these terms to address himself to the public more than any other, as- mortal one, son of man, ordinary man, because he wanted to distinguish and stress that being just a man, all the words of the spirit (most of them) and supernatural acts he showed and would show in the future were all of
his Father, and in particular
his (the Fathers') Spirit operating in him. The disciples eventually caught on. One famous scene was with Thomas when he finally realized that his Christ's Father (the one true God) raised him to life and Yahshua was indeed the Christ and Lord of his life.
They got it, even though some were slower at getting it than others!
2. Today, since the 1st century, we have had the doubters stream in to corrupt and unravel all of this dynamic duo's work on the earth and in heaven, and especially today these doubters are easy to spot. It's getting worse in fact.
They have discarded the Father's role in this man Yahshua completely, and made him equal as God himself, and thus violating the 1C, because they DOUBT what Christ said, did, really is, as just a man, and what the word of truth says about him.
Today, most don't get it! They get what they want to believe with their itching ears from false teachers and prophets....even if they now have to twist and add their own novel ideas into scripture...and call it good.
This is what we are dealing with today Wrangler. And then many 'Christians' (many CINO) wonder why and cry why there are so many divisions and arguments amongst themselves, and the world in watching, oh my....this is not good, right?....we must try to get along?.....what a joke.
Not happening, as these whiners cannot control the Spirit of the Father as they could not during Christ's time, and the gifts that God has given true believers, indeed!
