The Question Of Why The Term Son Of Man Was Used By Jesus

Jesus Among Other Gods, a book written by Ravi K. Zacharias, provides a defense of the uniqueness of the Christian message, specifically that Jesus is God. Zacharias’s aim was not to write a straightforward treatise that attacked believers who espoused traditional religions. In fact, his approach was to evaluate seven questions that Jesus answered in unique ways, which no other pseudo-divine claimant could assert. In evaluating the questions, he demonstrated Jesus’ uniqueness and qualifications as the son of God, over and above the other contenders for the prophetic office. Using vignettes, anecdotes, quotes, excerpts, interview transcripts, and scriptures, Zacharias scrutinized religious philosophies concerning deities and prophets from

Matthew opens his argument by describing Jesus: born of a virgin in Bethlehem, in the line of David, worshipped by Gentile Magi, brought out of Egypt, and raised in Nazareth.1 Matthew employs this list of prophecies from Mosaic Law and describes how Jesus fulfilled them all, simultaneously, as Blomberg’s notes in his portrait of Jesus, Matthew describes Jesus as “Son of David, King, and Royal Messiah,” and “Son of God.”2 Moreover, Matthew’s examples of the use of these titles throughout Matthew bear witness to Jesus’ divinity, as well as, how God could be understood through Jesus.3 Matthew proves not only Jesus’ Messiahship but His title of the Son of God.

up speaking a new language” (pg. 194): all words from the Bible. They had created a language

Throughout time biblical scriptures have been interpreted differently by different religions, scholar’s, and languages. Many theologians have provided different interpretations based off their mentors and time they lived. Using works from the Sacra Pagina Series, Norton Bible scriptures, and excerpts from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and teaching of John Calvin this essay will show the vast differences of interpretations in just one biblical scripture let alone throughout the entire bible and its many interpretations.

Over the course of history, the historical information regarding Jesus Christ has been interpreted by many different individuals and has led to different beliefs and views regarding the existence of Jesus Christ as a real man. Today I will be interpreting this evidence and i will be attempting to answer the question “Was Jesus Christ a real man?”. The evidence I will be looking at to answer this question will be information regarding the context of Jesus Christ, the historical accounts of non-Christian authors as well as the evidence for the Bible which is the main source regarding the life of Jesus Christ.

The divinity of Jesus Christ is something that is very apparent in the gospel of John. Käsemann’s quote

When the words of the Bible did not translate correctly over to Kikongo (the language spoken by the people of Kilanga) Nathan insisted on continuing his mission to preach, believing that God put him on this mission in order to spread the language of the “holy text”. In Nathan’s mind, he believes that only he can connect the people of Kilanga to the language of the Bible, a task not achieved by any other missionaries. In the article “Divine words: what role does language learning play in religious practice?” written by Matthew Jenkin, an editor of Guardian Careers and a freelance contributor, he wants to understand why language is so intertwined with religion. To answer this question he explores the correlation of Hebrew and Judaism, Arabic and Islam, and lastly classical Tibetan and Buddhism.

Buckley states that evidence suggests that the Mandaean people may have originated in Palestine during the time of John the Baptist and Jesus. The Mandeans see themselves as former Judeans from Jerusalem because of traditional practices. The most important evidence is the linguistic evidence and historical legend in some of Christian text; for example, the Characene scripts, were the Mandaic languages appears. Although there are other scripts that were found in different

The Aramaic language has been one of the longest living languages to be used at Mass. Chaldeans are one of the first nations to use Aramaic (“Who Are”). The Aramaic alphabet was influenced by the Phoenician alphabet (“Aramaic”). Chaldeans are heirs to the language of Aramaic (“Who Are”). Aramaic was developed in the 10th century B.C. (“Aramaic”). The language has been referred to as Syriac which is Aramaic (“Who Are”). In the 7th century, Aramaic was replaced with Arabic. Aramaic was once the main language of the Jews

The quest for the knowledge on the historical Jesus started as a protest against the traditional dogma of Christianity, but when the neutral historians joined the movement, all they saw was Jesus without features. Even when these scholars decided that other biblical figures such as John the evangelist, John the Baptist, Paul, and others were at home in a symbolic and richly storied world. Jesus himself

Originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac along with other Near Eastern Semitic languages, translated completely into Hebrew, then into Greek, then into Latin, English and eventually all modern languages.

" Despite the massive assault on John's trustworthiness in the wake of the Enlightenment, especially by liberal German scholars, John's Gospel stands today widely rehabilitated as a reliable witness to the life, words and deeds of our Lord Jesus Christ."

In the Gospel of John, the use of the messianic names Logos, Son of God, and Son of Man elucidate Jesus’s divinity and hypostatic union. Jesus revealed his divinity in prophecies, miracles, and dialogues with church authorities where Jesus was judged as either God as man or heretic. The Gospel of John asks about Jesus’s divine identity through the doubts of even Jesus’s deepest believers in the biblical stories Healing of the Blind Man and Raising of Lazarus but John affirms that Jesus is God by supporting Jesus as Messiah of the prophecies.
