just a quick pointing out, the usage of the term,"son of man" is a literal translation of the hebrew "ben adam" which is the same as "person" its used in modern hebrew all the time. when translated it adopts a sort of philosophical sound which is absent completly in hebrew. |

Correct. And in the scriptures, the term is used in both senses of the term - in Daniel, in the more apocalyptic case; and for example, when God refers to the prophet Ezekiel as ben adam, translated as "son of man" in older English translations, or simply "mortal" or "human being" in newer ones. |
