Does anybody actually know why Jesus called Himself that since all men are sons of men? Other than the fact that He was also the Son of God, how is this different from anybody else? Also, am I also the only one who automatically thinks of this song?

It is a good question. In the Old Testament "Son of Man" was sometimes used to emphasize the difference between God and mankind. Jesus emphasized both his humanity and his Oneness with God.Does anybody actually know why Jesus called Himself that since all men are sons of men?

The problem with conflating flesh with spirit is that . . .well . . . it conflates flesh with spirit.Man being male and female made in the image of God Almighty is that portion born solely by and of the Spirit of God.
Human is the flesh being we are who sleeps in the dust of the earth until awakened by that heavenly Spirit; and that is a process. If an abortionist was speaking in spiritual terms they could call Son of Man a fetus.
Son of Man is that portion which is born/brought forth spiritually within the human.

The problem with lack of faith is it inhibits the ability for the Spirit of the Son; to be anointed with Jehovah;s salvation aka Jesus Christ who brings forth the Son of Man in One.The problem with conflating flesh with spirit is that . . .well . . . it conflates flesh with spirit.
Biological death was not the plague that befell Adam.If you mean wrestling with flesh and spirit,.. even though Jesus never sinned,.. does that count when He was tempted by the devil that He was still having that battle going on inside Him even though He still didn't listen to Him? A bit off topic, but now that you brought it up I'm curious.
Biological death was not the plague that befell Adam.
Certainly to the Hebrew writers, death was a biological phenomenon, but it was also a spiritual one. To be sure, life in the Spirit was more purposeful to the ancients than life in the flesh was. Life in the Spirit was their raison d'être, their reason for life in the flesh. When Ephraim (Israel, or the ten Northern tribes) worshipped Baal, he died. Death came to Israel through idolatry. This dead people did not repent but instead sinned more and more (Hos 13:1-2), which they did as living, breathing biological organisms. When Ephraim died, he did not die in the flesh. Idols portended death for him.
Likewise with the Pharisees, who, like whitewashed tombs, knowing not the Father, were the walking dead, full of dead men’s bones (Mt 23:27). Strangers to God, they were dead. Apart from the spirit, the body is dead (Jas 2:26) “It is the Spirit who gives life,” Jesus said. “The flesh is no help at all.” (Jn 6:63)
Death was separation from the Father, or condemnation, and the continuous procession of false gods that foreigners introduced to the holy people illustrated the proclivities of this favored group toward idolatry and consequently their endless and often desperate groping for some connection to their tree of life.
While death in the minds of the Israelites was condemnation, belief led to life. This is precisely what Paul said to the Roman Christians, that “as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.” (5:18)
True, the flesh is mortal. Then how does it sleep in the dust of the earth until awakened, as you say?Also while we are in this subject about Son of Man and Jesus Christ everyone needs to go back and reread the scriptures. Jesus didn't say "Take up my cross" nor did he ever say that you would not have a cross to bear; he said "take up your cross and follow me" he allowed his flesh to be crucified because he was fully aware of how vile the carnally minded can be.
Flesh is as grass. It was never created or intended to live forever.

Again flesh is as grass.True, the flesh is mortal. Then how does it sleep in the dust of the earth until awakened, as you say?
Adam lived for hundreds of years the same way Kush lived for hundreds of years, or the Aztecs or Rapa Nui: they reproduced.Again flesh is as grass.
Ask yourself how does Adam aka human live for hundreds of years? Did not the Lord put the human aka adam asleep and then awaken the human with its own woman aka אִשָּׁה ʼishshâh from its own riyb?
You are an adam aka human are you not? Flesh does not inherit the kingdom of heaven and that kingdom of heaven is within you if you believe on the only begotten Son of God aka Man who was created in the beginning of time and told to be fruitful and multiply creating more like Himself both male and female.Adam lived for hundreds of years the same way Kush lived for hundreds of years, or the Aztecs or Rapa Nui: they reproduced.

” Like unto” also in sneaky Roman fashion could also be that the persona created by the lying scribes under the direction of the Romans was not and could not be a literal son of man because no man fathered him because he was only given life in the pages they wrote to create him.. He was not a physical “ son of man” like everyone else is…Just because the words speak of a living breathing person doesn’t mean that an actual living breathing person in the form of Jesus( The logos or WORD) ever took a breath of existed thus “like unto” Hence the ultimate idol…Just as CNN and MSNBC use word play and hope people don't notice the subtile difference from what was said and their reporting what was said, the churches teach the same way=fake good news.
If people look closely at what Rev 1:13 Says
He is LIKE UNTO son of man not that he is son of man. Like Unto=in likeness to aka impostering/emulating.
