Years ago I used to listen to RC on the radio during my morning commute. He was instrumental in bringing me back to my relationship with God.

Amen. So glad to live in a time where we can listen to those who were godly, and who have gone before us. Praise God.

Oh how we miss RC so much! God blessed us tremendously with a man such as RC Sproul. His compassionate way of explaining to people, appealing to their inner soul was very humbling, indeed. "Thank you Lord for choosing RC to reveal more of who you are, through his particular style of expression." And thank you for this VERY special Yinzer! Much love from Cali.. Amen

I'm not sure who selects these snippets to post, but these are great and helpful.

You are the son of whom you obey!! So powerful!!!

This is truly great stuff. That was a whole meal served to us by God via RC Sproul. Thanks for doing that.

Amen Glory to the Lord Jesus

All of us who seek the Lord fully, these preachers/ teachers are so important because of their passion for Christ and love for others. Thank you Lord for your teachings!!

Enlightening lesson. Thank you Dr. Sproul.

Wow this is so true and I just realized it,glory to Jesus

Excellent short message by R.C. sproul. Thanks to the ministry.

R.C. Had such blessedly way of explaining these types of things.

R. C. had such a marvelous gift in his manner of speaking. His delivery, cadence, enthusiasm and grasp of the scripture was truly inspiring. He had a great sense of humor and had the ability to make light of himself. Listening to R.C. was so enjoyable. The sound of his voice had a soothing effect. I love the story where he said that someone made the comment (referring to R. C.'s teaching) that "he made the scriptures come alive". R.C. responded by saying, "I can't make something come alive that's already alive." That was R. C.. He was confident but humble. He knew who he was and he understood who the Creator was; a Holy God, a Just God, a God of limitless Power, a God of Mercy and Truth.

I'm just so grateful that God decided to come down here to earth and take human form to experience everything we do and be willing to die for all of us so that we can reconciled back to Him!! Praise God 4 all Eternity!!

I've never heard this explained so beautifully like this. Thank you, pastor. Glory to Lord Jesus Christ.

This is probably one of the best explanations I've heard for the Son of Man vs Son of God. Praise the Lord for videos like these and those with the gift of teaching.

I knew this before but it jumped at me anew all over again. ✝️🙏

Brought me to tears. God has given us so much as evidence to His character through the Bible. When we're honest, we can't find any fault in it. God's word brings life.

Thank so much for this clear explanation Mr. Sproul. RIP until we come to meet you. Come Jesus come…

Thank you, this is very helpful in shedding light on a complex topic

Wow! This is spot on! I am exceedingly grateful.

Thank you for explaining about the Son of Man .

Thank you very much. I've often wondered and searched, but this is the first time anyone has really explained it.

Such a good teacher. May he rest in heavenly peace.

One of my favorite teachers! 🤗 what a blessing to so many lives!

Thank you, I learned.

Thank you for increasing my understanding

R.C Sproul still speaks even today and I'm still learning. Praise God for the life of this man.

Well explained, may God bless you.

Thank you out for making that clear to me. It indeed takes scripture to explain scripture. Again thank you.

Thank you this was very informative. Praise God!

Though I'm not a calvinist, I do love and miss RC Sproul. I used to listen to his radio broadcasts regularly.

Praise to the Lord Yahweh

I'm not in the least a Calvinist, but had the utmost respect for RC as a thinker. Absolutely brilliant man. RIP

What a study! Thanks for this light.

Thank you brother for heartful message

JESUS CHRIST IS MY HEAVENLY FATHER. MY LORD , MY KING , MY ALL.

I'll break it down nice and easy. When talking about Jesus: Son of Man - equal to humans. Son of God - equal to God.

brilliant explanation. Thank you for the upload.

I have been wondering about this for years!

Glory to the GREAT SON OF MAN, THE FATHER SON and THEIRS OWN SPIRIT KNOWN AS THE HOLY SPIRIT AMEN TO THE ALFA & OMEGA..

Now i know. The creator of this majestic and immense universe was a Jew from Nazareth. Amazing

This is great! Thank you & God bless u😇

wow.. Praise the Lord Jesus😍😇

So Son of God means that Jesus is submissive towards the Father while the Son of Man is the one who will judge this world, descends and ascends to and fro Heaven?

Exactly! That is why skeptic scholars like Bart Ehrman haven't a clue when he says only the gospel of John speaks of Jesus's Deity.

So glad God is on KZfaq now😇

I have been truly enriched with this truth.

There is one timeless God from whom his Word and Spirit emanate into everlasting times and all time. God is outside of all types of time! Psalm 33:6, Isaiah 55:11 A Son/offspring is a container of same Life / nature ! God will be *in all* as sons ! (Those Who accept the Christ)

Thank you brothers

nicely explain

Wow thanks made it much clear thanks HOLYSPIRIT 🙏😊😊 Thanks so much for posting, GOD bless you

He never mentioned himself as the Son of God. Stop it man.

Understanding the title “Son of Man” allows us to understand why Caiaphas tore his clothing and called Jesus a blasphemer, exhausted Jesus was claiming to be the one in Daniel 7 which can only mean He is God.

This video explains these 2 concepts well.

Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the LORD 🙏

I've never been confused by this reference, Both express his deity.

This is very good except the part where he says that Jesus fulfilled the role of Son of Man (as judge) when He came the first time, but Jesus Himself said that He came not to judge (John 3:17, 8:15, 12:47). Therefore, He will finish His role as Son of Man as Judge at the Second Coming and on into the Millennial Kingdom (the fulfillment of Daniel 7:13-14, 2:36-45), the conclusion of which will be the judgment of all unbelievers (Revelation 20:7-15).

Wow! Thank you!

Thank you so much

Actually, in Hebrew, Daniel does not say "ben Adam", but "ben asash"...Son of mortal. and some of the verb ending are feminine...

When Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, He is humbling Himself not exalting Himself. He is identifying with us as human beings. This is supported in Phillipians 2:5-7, when Paul writes - " Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man , He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him..." Jesus was not exalting Himself by using the term Son of Man, He was humbling Himself by identifying as one of us.

Wow, it makes sense to me. Thank you.

Thank you

the guy is wrong about "son of god" being loyal to the father because the Gen6 "sons of god" defiled earth women which the Father forbid. Another example, Adam was a "son of god" but he wasn't loyal.

The name Adam in hebrew means MAN. Son of MAN, Son of Adam. Much easier to understand than this guy's explanation.

Good word.

Thank you 🙏

Awesome! Thanks.

thank you

I like the radio because it gave me the world!!

I'm no expert, but putting the dots together seems to bring to an interesting conclusion, analogous to one I myself have come up in other fields of life: that of the "communion" between humility and presumption. I'll try to explain myself: as RC says in the last bit of the video, Jesus is actually claiming authority, so in a way that could be called "presumption" (but remove all negative aspects of the word we culturally associate with it, I'm not a native english speaker thus I don't currently know a better word to use, so I use this one and with I simply mean the following: knowing the positive sides of the position you claim to hold, knowing it's possibilities and what good it may bring. One has to remember that this word then is dependant on the point of view, on the standards in society, and so on. On the other hand, by "humility" I mean aknowledging the negative sides that come up with the position you claim to hold, or in this context the non-exclusivity of this position). On the other hand, there's the phrase "you are the son of whom you obey" seems to imply that anybody can then be the Son of God, or the Son of Man and both at the same time: this could be called "humility" because it is an aknowledgement that you are not holding an exclusive position: as I said this facts are relative to a society which is imbued with evil and thus makes it seem like being so close to God is somehting exclusive and unaccessible, while if we all would accept "The Way of Things" we could live a better life all under God and at his side at the same time. The point in trying to surpass God is that it is useless and also a contradiction: doing that would not bring upon who tries God's Wrath, but just a series of consequences that would make it seem like that: we have a need to translate our ideas and intuitions into words, but as many phylosophers said, we can get tricked by our own words, and trapped by them. For example, by picturing God as a king, we humanize God and thus with time fall under the false sensation that God may be a tyrant enforcing his rule, and thus fall prey to a series of self-fueling actions that only achieve getting further and further from God, somewhat like falling down, or better, giving up in reaching the peak of a mountain one is trying to climb. Everything seems to point to the fact that we have the freedom of trying to get as near as God as we want, and also the freedom to sin: since all sins can be forgiven when one truly gets back on his way to God. So, as must be always remembered, God is actually there, although life situations may make it difficult to reach or see God, one can somehow always get back on the road to God. Instead, sinning is getting further from God, and that can be momentarily. Then compeltely giving up into sin is the decision of staying far from God, or worse the decision of getting further and further. And also that can always be reversed, but maybe the further from God, the harder is the way back. That is because pure evil doesn't exist, it lays there at infinity and thus however closer one tries to get to infinity, it will always be infinitely far from where one is. The reason why pure evil doesn't exist, is that evil is a synonim of destruction, and so pure evil would be pure destruction, so what is pure destruction? Nothing. Literally, not a region of space devoid of matter, but a region of pure nothing. How could one ever achieve, then, pure nothing? It's impossible, even after destroying everything, one would be met with chaos all around him, but not nothing, and still even if one managed to reach nothing, that one would need to still be there. Basically, I'm just stating with different words that the state of complete inexistance is just contradictory and thus just a word we use that doesn't describe any reality. As I said, God instead is there. And so much so that one can be there where God is too. We could say, that then one would be in harmony with everything, and thus God. Often when talking of such stuff the way our words and logic works creates rotating loops: picture a vortex in a fluid that moves forward, and that movement is reality, while still rotating in on itself, and that rotation is "fictitious". If you know some maths and physics, check out the cycloid curve for motion in a bycycle: depending on different factors, it could be that a point that is moving forward momentarily also moves backwards, seeming to loose ground. That is what happens with words, the true meaning comes through but only while also rotating almost as if repeating itself. One last thing: I think this pictures of thrones and kings is not appropriate to our current society: we now picture rulers as something that should not exist, almost like tyrants. That's probably another reason why today many misunderstand the messages of the Bible and Jusus and God. We are a bit closer to a better world then before, but with words we risk to refuse the guidelines to it! I really needed this long "exhale" of my ideas. I hope what I tried to say comes through clear enough! Please, if you don't like something, try to think about what I said with a lot of fantasy in your head, the way some words make me thing might not be the way the same words make you feel, and so it may seem we're not sharing the same idea, and instead we are. Also, with my words I'm just trying to make a picture of some of my ideas and intuitions, not absolute truths or anyting certain, so what I wrote should be read like if watching a very abstract painting, or read like if listening to a very free symphony that tries to convey certain feelings and images with its notes

How can I find the full teaching that this is from? Does RC have a book that explains this teaching?

Matt24:4-5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Annointed,’ and will deceive many.

That was beautifully explained-clear and concise. Dr. Sproul will surely be missed. I hope that God would raise up men like him again who would faithfully and courageously proclaim the truth of Scripture without compromise and with rigor. Thank you so much for this, Ligonier Ministries! Your work for the Lord and His church is greatly appreciated. I pray that the Holy Spirit will continuously advance the cause of the Gospel through your ministry. God bless! Soli Deo gloria!

Thank you Grandad.

I speak through the experiences that I have had on this world and in higher regions. Jesus (Yasuah) has been my personal guide and teacher in a real sense. Every time that he appeared in a vision it was as a brother possessing human elements and the communication style of a teacher/ friend I have also been in the LIGHT/LOVE. Jesus showed us the path to true sonship by wholeheartedly choosing the WILL of GOD without any reservations or conditions. This choice should be made when you are in spirit (trance) with the conscious mind disengaged of circumvented. From that moment the untested created spirit sets upon the path to sonship ( through the narrow gate) and up the mountain that is composed of service to others NOT SERVATUDE but providing strength to those family members who are wavering. The focus of sonship must always be on selfless giving the essential nature of God. If the focus is on receiving and selfishness the service is to the deceiver dark side. It is what lies within the heart as your intention not necessarily an action. This nation has been deceived by the deception of the dark side. I was shown in a vision that there are very few willing to go through the narrow gate and the vast majority are following the golden road of deception being led by the trump.

The difference simply depends upon which aspect of jesus you were to refer to or even that he was referring to when speaking of himself. There was jesus as the physical manifestation of Gods word and there is jesus the spiritual being.

As Son of God he is saviour, as Son of Man he is God prophet, as Son of David he is king. God who is Spirit had to take the form of a man to die for us. Human nature is sinful. The conception of Jesus was through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the flesh he was fully man. In spirit he was fully God.

Excellent

Muy bueno

the short answer : “Son of Man” is a popular title for the Messiah among Israelites. The phrase came from Daniel 7:13-14 and all the Israelites in the first century knew about this passage. Jesus used “Son of Man” many times to describe himself in order to make it clear to his audiences that he is the Messiah

One who is a true god, is also a true teacher, is also a true parent, is also a true child , is also a true scientist, is also a true artist, is also a true judge. Ironically , if we search and replace the word, "true", with the word, "false", in the above statement, the resulting statement will still be just as true.

I.O.U. Jesus. Thank You, God. Amen.

At 0:28, this gentlemen is referring to the Council of Chalcedon in 451AD, which a council of the Catholic Church to oppose both Nestorianism and Monophysitism. It firmly declared that Christ had two distinct natures: one human and one divine.

I love his voice...

In Ezekiel God used the name "son of man" to address Ezekiel, His prophet,.. at least 100 times! It was after all of that, Daniel said, "...0ne like (a) son of man..." when speaking about his vision of the second Person of the Godhead. The title was obviously expressing His identification with mankind, reiterated clearly by what Philippians 2 communicates. Why else was His rarely used title: Emmanuel (God with us)? It is a beautiful thing God has done for us and to us!

It is simply put, he has many crowns .

In the Targum Ezekiel it is translated as Son of Adam. I find that telling since the lineage of Jesus through Mary foes all the way back to Son of Adam, Son of God. I think it might be more properly translated in the NT as Son of Adam.

All the glory to the Lord our God! Please come Lord Jesus our Savior!

There's a lot to take in especially if you consider the Sproul's commentary on the commentary. 😇 Son, refers to one that is in obedience, or who is in accord with a greater. Man, in Son of Man, emphasizes the descending of Christ into the world that He may judge the world, whom He has authority over, If any one has a better clarification, please reply below.

Awesome I miss RC

ÀMEN. PROCLAME THE TESTIMONY OF GOD BLESS.

I've just listened to several discussions from theologians concerning the meaning of "Son of Man." RC's is the best.

This makes sense 👍👍

Learn a lot from this video and I just wanna know something, is there one God or 3 God? 1. Mary give birth to which one God? the father, Jesus or the holy spirit's.? 2. Who's die on the cross? the father, Jesus or Holy Spirits? 3. Who's came again as a Messiah? the father, Jesus or Holy Spirits? 4. Who's praying at Garden Gestemene? the father, Jesus or Holy Spirits?

If only those ascend to heaven who have come down from heaven, as Jesus says, then those of us who ascend to heaven have come down from heaven. A higher, divine, state of consciousness, in union with God, for the Kingdom of God and His justice is in us. That also we may have the joy and peace of God. “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” ~John 15:11 ❤️

"He returns to the presence of God." The Pastor let the cat out of the bag here. In Daniel's vision, the Son of man is one other than God. As the Pastor explained, he is given all authority to act as judge. The Son of Man is a messianic title.

John 1:12 King James Version 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Translation Ben Enosh from the Aramaic in the book of Daniel referring specifically to the one who will come on the clouds.
