Dr. Ehrman,

You’ve seemed to ask the question, Was Jesus the Son of Man or Was a third person the Son of Man. If Paul thought Jesus was coming back, was Paul picking up on, “You will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds”?

The Apostle Paul describes Jesus’ return to judge the living and the dead in 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11.

So, whereas Jesus’s disciples knew Jesus (in the first person) as the Son of Man in the first half of his ministry but learned of a third person Son of Man in the second half of his ministry, including after the Wicked Tenants parable where the once former Son of Man is going to be killed by the Wicked Tenants, Paul does not think there is a third person Son of Man?

If so, that is fascinating we postulate a third person Son of Man but Paul does not.
