Kermos, you are a person who likes to interject your opinion of what others are implying....I have not "in effect " said I do not believe that Jesus is the Truth and Life...
You are deceived by your interpretation of what this OP is about...
Let me try one more time...
The Son of Man is a title that was used exclusively by Jesus - His disciples never addressed Him as such. Jesus used it to emphasize His humanity. The title goes back to the Book of Daniel where the Son of Man would inherit the everlasting kingdom of God. It is a designation of the Messiah. At His trial Jesus acknowledged that He indeed was the Son of Man - the one who would bring in God's everlasting kingdom. When the religious leaders heard this they accused Him of blasphemy - making Himself equal with God. The purpose of the title seems to be Jesus' own emphasis on His humanity.
What I am sharing is that He is the Son of God, and He is the Son of Man....
I have read all the scriptures you have supplied and still conclude the same as I did in the OP.
Now stop accusing me of denying Jesus....
This is a study...not a debate...contribute what you believe...but don't attack what others are sharing....
As I said this is a hidden wisdom which I have just discovered myself through study, prayer, and meditation.
Either join the group and contribute your beliefs without falsely accusing others or leave the thread.
Your accusation is very offensive and is not welcome.
Thanks.
I actually think he was implying me, but I know what I believe. I was saying that if the pharisees lived with Jesus, He may have said He was the Son of God elsewhere. But I believe in this case I and the Father are One= I am the Son of God. One and the same. And He refers to Himself as the Son of Man in the exact same way. He doesn't have to say it directly. He just is. He is triune God, Son of God, Son of Man.
And it is just as powerful as saying "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" in John 14:6.
