The Son of Man and the Son of God confusion in Christianity

The phrase “Son of Man” creates a lot of confusion in the theological world. What does the phrase “Son of Man” mean? We can understand what “Son of God” means, but what does “Son of Man” mean? It is considered to be a Semitic idiom to denote humanity. The explanation generally given is that Jesus was both human and divine, so both these phrases were used for him. However, the term “Son of Man” is clearly used in Bible in divine context, to refer to Jesus as divine. Take the following few samples of its usage, and you can make a judgment for yourself on whether Son of Man is referring to humanity or to divinity.

Reviews of the Book

"The book 19,000 Years of World History by Prithviraj R is an exceptional book filled with knowledge. I cannot believe all of the research the author had to do to put this truly amazing book together.

The author used past history and scriptures from many religions to help bring together the history of man in twenty-one chapters. Not only that, findings from beliefs, linguistics, cultural practices and more are used to tie man's history altogether.

19,000 Years of World History starts out with some fascinating facts about different cultures and religions. For instance, have you ever wondered how religions started? Here is an excerpt from the book on how Buddhism was borne:

Places of Origin of Hinduism

The following are some questions that often tend to engage not just historians, but Hindus themselves.

When did Hinduism start? Where did Hinduism start?

Hinduism of India is a highly complex religion that was formed by the integration of a large number of cults from across civilizations. Historians have over-simplified this gigantic religion. As per them, India is made of two ethnic groups called Aryans and Dravidians. Aryans brought their God Vishnu with them, while Siva is the God of Dravidians; and Hinduism, as per them, was supposedly born by the integration of these two groups. However, they could not have imagined the complexity of this massive religion, because it requires a deep knowledge of Indian scriptures, apart from a knowledge of its historical aspects, to be able to really ferret out the formation of this profound religion. The following is a brief up of how the various cults were integrated into one colossal religion of Hinduism.

The period of 2200 BC to 1800 BC was quite eventful, the significance of which has not yet been fully recognized by us. A lot of events were taking place across civilizations, events that would shape the destiny of mankind for millennia to come, especially so on the religious front.

Zoroaster's Conflict with Indian Gods

Indians and Iranians shared a common religious past, which led historians to sometimes even term the common ancestral religion as Proto-Indo-Iranian religion. Have we ever understood the implications of this common religious past on the historical studies of the two regions? It is probable that the two communities were in war with each other for hundreds or even thousands of years? Let us dig a little into the religious legends of these regions and see what they have to offer.

Ashoka Mauryan and Ashoka Gupta - The Mistake in Indian History

noreply@blogger.com (Prithvi Raj) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:20:00 +0000

One of the most important calculations of Indian history has been done on the basis of the lifetime of a certain Indian emperor called Ashoka, considered to be one of the greatest emperors of world history. He was a Buddhist emperor who was responsible for the spread of Buddhism, to distant corners of India and the neighboring countries, by sending large number of Buddhist missionaries to these places. He built thousands of Buddhist stupas and established thousands of Buddhist monasteries all over his empire that stretched from Iran to Bandladesh and from Central Asia (Afghanistan) to South India. A large number of rocks and pillars, present all over his empire, have been inscribed with his edicts and promulgations to his subjects, written in Magadhi, Sanskrit, Greek, and Aramic languages. He was initially a cruel king who killed a large number of his brothers in order to ascend the throne. He inherited a large empire and tried to expand it by waging a war against the neighboring kingdom of Kalinga. He won the war, but the gruesome sight of thousands of mutilated dead bodies at the war completely changed his heart. He felt repentant about it, stopped his empire expanding spree, and converted to Buddhism after being attracted to the Buddhist principles of non-violence and renunciation.

Jews are Yadavas of India

Even though Jewish scriptures talk about Egypt, no Egyptian text ever found contains a single reference to Jews in Egypt. States William G. Dever, who has spent thirty years on Biblical archaeology in the near east: “It must be borne in my mind that no Egyptian text ever found contains a single reference to Hebrews or Israelites in Egypt, much less to an Exodus.” ( Who Were the Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From?, Wm.B.Erdmans Publishing Company, Cambridge, 2006; pg 12-13). The only reason why their scriptures talk about Egypt is because their scriptures were modified at a later point of time. This was done under instructions from Moses for particular reasons.
