Jesus is called a man and son of man in the Bible

The truth in their book itself, but "only those can accept the truth who listen"

Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible:

"I am a MAN who has told you the truth that I heard from God."(John 8:40)

"Jesus the Nazarene, a MAN attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)

"He will judge the world in righteousness through a MAN whom He has appointed". (Acts 17:31)

"The MAN Christ Jesus" (Tim. 2:5)

The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man:

"so will the son of man be" (Matthew12:40)

"For the son of man is going to come" (Matthew 16:27)

"until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom."(Matthew 28)

"But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)

"because he is the son of man’ (John5:27)

"just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

(Matthew 20:28)

And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." (Mark 14:62)

In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of people:

(Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17; 144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).

Bible says that God is not man:

"God is not a man" (Numbers 23:19)

"For I am God, and not man"

(Hosea 11:9)

The Bible says that God is not a son of man:

"God is not a man nor a son of man"(Numbers 23:19)

Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not have done so.

Remember God is not the author of confusion.

Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’ specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according to the Bible.
