Aramaic is only a dialect of Hebrew, not a separate | language. "Bar" means "son of" in both Hebrew and Aramaic. What branch | of Christianity teaches you your interpretation? I am sorry, but its ABSOLUTELY mainstream theology. I did my degree and Ph.D in theology at Trinity College Cambridge and its very mainstream interpretation. Within the Aramaic dialelect bar nasha ( which you are quite correct " bar "does mean son in Hebrew) is used to mean I think or this one thinks. ie the son of man thinks ( ie I think , or this one thinks , or methinks even to use old English) If one looks at where the phrase "son of man" is used in the Bible (see URL:http://www.google.com/search?num=100...all&q=%22Son+o f+man%22+site%3Abible.org%2Fverse.php) one finds that your suggested idiomatic translation of the phrase doesn't fit in many of verses in which it is used. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
