Ledo I don't deny that they're could have been many who had the title "son of man". History has a tendency to repeat itself and I fully accept your definition. How many of those with the title Claim to be God incarnate on earth or part of the holy trinity?
Jesus claimed to be part of the Trinity? I seem to be missing that quote in my Bible.
I stand corrected. While there are subtle references in the Gospel according to Matthew, the Great Commission: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19); and in the Second Letter of St Paul to the Corinthians: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."(2 Corinthians 13:14) . This helps develop a trinitarian understanding of God. But this is personal bias and there are also "Binitarianism (one deity/two persons), Unitarianism (one deity/one person), the Oneness belief held by certain Pentecostal groups, Modalism, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' view of the Godhead as three separate beings who are one in purpose rather than essence."
