[[LeBron James]] has won multiple NBA championships with different teams. One could say, "A championship was won by LeBron," but that's ambiguous. To clarify, one would say "A championship was won by LeBron as a Cavalier." One would not say "A championship was won by Lebron of the Cavaliers." Likewise, "the Son as Man," not "the Son of Man."--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 14:30, 22 November 2018 (EST)

:I thought the ambiguity was the whole point of the ''Son of Man'' construction. He wanted us to choose to accept his message, rather than enforcing it through some universally unmistakable demonstration of his power.
:I know it's a weird and inefficient way to go about things, but God's apparently being doing this for ages, what with all his Old Testament mucking about with imperfect human prophets.
:In fact, the only time he ever talked directly to all of humanity was in Eden, and then there were only two of us. Perhaps it's worthy of another entry in your "Mystery" series: ''Does God hate public speaking?'' [[User:JohnZ|JohnZ]] ([[User talk:JohnZ|talk]]) 16:30, 22 November 2018 (EST)
