Let's leave it at this, it's evident that you and I have an issue communicating.
I grasp what you are saying, it's just wrong. The phrase "son of man" appeared prior to the NT and was not unique to Jesus. In the OT it was written in Hebrew because that's the language they wrote in. In the NT, Greek for the same reason. We are writing in English because, well, self evident reasons. The phrase itself, though, regardless of language, absolutely pre-dates both Jesus and the NT.
Therefore it is best we go our separate ways. You seem convinced you are right rather than interested in a discussion, and I'm not going to talk up to you.
Me being right isn't the issue. It's that you say something demonstrably false and later change your argument while insisting it stayed the same all along.
References won't matter really
Reference matter a great deal. You said you had proof and would show it and now won't.
I would assume you have your own and believe them to be fact
You shouldn't ignorantly assume what you can't possibly know.
rather than theory since there is no way to be sure absolutely 100% what was going on that far back.
No one ever said it was. Straw man red herring.
According to the bible, aside from the cultures, the God previousky known as El Shaddai was not known by name until he revealed it, giving him a distinction that didn't preciously exist because el is not a name it's a title.
El is both a name and a title, depending upon context (see pages 53 and 54 of the Oxford History of the Biblical World).
So from what I've read of the God El, it fits fully with the ancient manuscripts depictions of the God who was yahweh.
El was well known throughout the Semitic lands (with Yahweh being known but not as much.). They were distinct and separate in every other source than Hebrew writings. El was ONLY associated with Yahweh in the Hebrew outgrowth of Semitic religions. From the Oxford Companion to World Mythology: It seems almost certain that the God of the Jews evolved gradually from the Canaanite El, who was in all likelihood the 'God of Abraham'... If El was the high God of Abraham—Elohim, the prototype of Yahveh—Asherah was his wife, and there are archaeological indications that she was perceived as such before she was in effect 'divorced' in the context of emerging Judaism of the 7th century BCE.
