Zone1 "Son of MAN" is?

You haven't seen my attack yet. But if you keep running your mouth, you will.

You have no attacks that I haven't seen in my 49 years being a member of the Church. You people think you are so smart when you are so slow and dumb about this. It's funny to see the same crap be regurgitated over and over. Funny.

He was Lord before He came here. Him being the Son of Man was Him fulfilling Jewish Law. If a Jewish man lost his fortune, a relative could redeem it for him. The relative is called a Kinsman Redeemer.
Christ fulfilled that Law by becoming a relative of Adam with the capability of returning dominion over the earth back to man and out of Satan's grasp.
And when the Age of the Gentile comes to a close, Christ is going to return to take control of the earth he shed His blood to salvage...

So, this is interesting. Thanks for the insight. Someone who doesn't have to lower themselves and attack our beliefs. By the way, when reading Daniel 7:13, the Son of man comes to the Ancient of days and takes control of mankind. I agree that the Ancient of Days is Adam. I believe most of Christian Dome believes the Ancient of days is Jesus Christ. If "man" is the Ancient of Days as you state, then Adam has to be the ancient of Days.

Daniel also sees the Last Days or Latter-days in which we are in now in Dan 2:44 as the Church or Kingdom established in these the latter days and will not be given to another. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fits. But, none of their offshutes cannot because they would be "another."

What does the Lord mean when he says, "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One (Father)? Most sites on the subject will say he's the Son of Man because he was born huMAN and over came death to be Lord God. But, I'm wondering if this is really the case and pose this. What if there is a word missing? So-called Christians would not understand. But, LDS should. What if it should be Son of the Glorified Man. Father in Heaven is a Glorified man. "As man is now God once was. As God is now man may become." Any thoughts on this?

For Jews and Christian denominations that retain Biblical/Tanakh roots with Hebrew etymology, what is usually translated as Son of Man, is more literally translated as son of Adam. It is further understood that it comes with the understanding of mortal status and human weakness.

In other words, the LDS interpretation doesn't work because God is not--and never was-- the son of Adam. God is Adam's creator.
While it is only a personal wondering on my part, was one of the reason Jesus was consistently using the phrase 'son of man' a reminder of his current mortal status despite his divinity/oneness with God (who was not created, but always was/is).

Be assured I am not attempting to argue LDS beliefs--they are what they are. But perhaps it will give those of the LDS faith insight on why all other Christian denominations cringe at LDS interpretation that it means God was once mortal, which means LDS men may become Gods.

In Genesis we read:


Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Who are the "our" in the verse above? Is it not God the Father and Jesus Christ? If mankind were made after the image and likeness of God doesn't that show you what God's image and likeness are? Apparently God the Father and Jesus have the same image and likeness and so do all of mankind. After Jesus died and was resurrected, he ascended to heaven with his immortal resurrected body. But did Jesus' image and likeness change from what the Father's image and likeness was? NO! In Hebrews we read:

Hebrews 1:1-3
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Here we read that Jesus the very express image of his Father in Heaven. After ascending to heaven he sit down on the right hand of the Father. So Jesus looks exactly like his father and is the express image of him. Jesus, being resurrected with his body of flesh and bones (see Luke 24) is an exalted eternal man. IF the Father has the express image of the son just as the son has the express image of the Father, would you not think that God the Father like Jesus is an exalted immortal man and that we all can become resurrected exalted immortal men and women after our resurrection? We are the children of our Father in Heaven! We were created in his very image and likeness! Jesus is a resurrected exalted man who is the express image of his Father! God the Father is an immortal man with a body of flesh and bones just as Jesus is! If having an immortal resurrected body of flesh and bones does not inhibit Jesus from still being part of the godhead, then why would it inhibit the Father from being God who made us all in his very image and likeness? How could Jesus sit down at the right hand of God if God does not have a right hand?

Another name of God the Father is "the Man of Holiness". And Jesus is the Son of the Man of Holiness!

Moses 6:57
57. Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge, who shall come in the meridian of time.

Moses 7:35
35. Behold, I am God; Man of Holiness is my name; Man of Counsel is my name; and Endless and Eternal is my name, also.

Jesus is indeed in his earthly body. And we are going to weep bitter tears when we see what He went through to redeem us. He is so horribly scared that people that knew Him didn't recognize Him when he came back.
He is 33 and 1/3 years old. And His hair is white, because of His proximity to our Father. God's Shekinah Glory turns men's hair white if your around Him for a while. Just like Moses...

We are made in His likeness. If God cared enough to make the angels eternal, why wouldn't he make us like Himself and the angels? We are His children, after all.
We are on a linear timeframe. God's on eternal time. In God's world, if a dove took a piece of cloth and went back and forth on a mountain top until the top was worn away to sea level, not one second of eternal time has gone by.
Why would God, who wanted and loves His children only be able to commune with them for less than a millisecond of His time, and then we're dead and buried?

The meaning of life is that God wanted children. It's why we are here. And here is merely basic training for all the rest...

So it's not news to you that the founder of your religion was a con man.
