Albadran ( 74 )able and contradictory statements, which they alone can swallow like boiled eggs. They can believe, without the least hesitation, that Mary was both virgin and wife, that Joseph was both spouse and husband, thatJames, Jossi, Simon, and Judah were both cousins of Jesus(pbuh)and his brothers, that Jesus(pbuh) is perfect God and perfect man, and that “the Son of God,” “the Son of Man,” “the Lamb,” and “the Son of David (pbuh)” are all one and the same person! They feed themselves on heterogeneous and opposed doctrines, which these terms represent with as greedy an appetite as they feel for bacon and eggs at breakfast. They neverstop to think and ponder on the object they worship; they adore the crucifix and the Almighty as if they were kissing the bloody dagger of the assassin of their brother in the presence of his father!I do not think there is even one Christian in ten millions who really has a precise idea or a definite knowledge about the origin and the true signification of the term “the Son of Man.” All Churches and their commentators without exception will tell you that “the Son of God” assumed the appellation of “the Son of Man” or “the Barnasha” out of humility and meekness, never knowing that the Jewish Apocalyptical Scriptures, in which Jesus (pbuh) and his disciples heart and soul believed, foretold not a “Son of Man” who would be meek, humble, having nowhere to lay his head, and be delivered into the hands of the evildoers and killed, but a strong man with tremendous power and strength to destroy and disperse the birds of prey and the ferocious beasts that were tearing and devouring his sheep and lambs! The Jews who heard Jesus(pbuh) speaking of “the Son of Man” understood to whom he was alluding. Jesus(pbuh) did not invent the mane “Barnasha,’ but borrowed it from the Apocalyptical Jewish Scriptures: the Book of Enoch, the Sibylline Books,the Assumption of Moses(pbuh), the Book of Daniel, etc. Let us examine the origin of thistitle “the Barnasha” or “the Son of Man.”
