→"Son of Man": misrepresenting the Common English Biblie: Andy, the Common English Bible explicitly rejects your translation
::::::::August, the [[Common English Bible]] explains that the Greek for "Son of Man" really means "characteristic of human beings." The best way to translate that today is with a comma followed by "a human being."--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:50, 30 June 2014 (EDT)

:::::::::Sorry, Andy, you are wrong - and you are misrepresenting the [[Common English Bible]]: it makes it abundantly clear that the translation of "son of x" means "having the characteristic of x", and '''not''' "the son, having the characteristics of x"! You are smuggling an additional "son" (giving raise to the question ''of whom?'') into your translation. '''The Common English Bible explicitly rejects this translation ''', it writes: ''in Acts 13:10 Paul calls a sorcerer "as son of the devil." This is not a reference to the sorcerer's actual ancestry, but serves to identify his character. He is devilish - or, more simply in English, "a devil"'': '''ὁ υἱὸς διαβόλου does not mean ''the son, a devil'''''. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 01:30, 1 July 2014 (EDT)
