The actual quotation is "The Child is father of the Man" from the poem "My heart leaps up when I behold" by William Wordsworth(1770-1850):\n\nMy heart leaps up when I behold\nA rainbow in the sky:\nSo was it when my life began;\nSo is it now I am man;\nSo be it when I shall grow old,\nOr let me die!\nThe Child is father of the Man;\nAnd I could wish my days to be\nBound each to each by natural piety.\n\nA similar line appears in "Paradise Regained" by John Milton(1608-1674);\n\nThe childhood shows the man,\nAs morning shows the day.\n\nI hope this helps you.

An Aramaic scholar tells me that nowhere in the original texts of the Bible [written in Aramaic, soon after Jesus was crucified] was it mentioned that Jesus [or anyone else, for that matter !] said that he is the Son of God.\n...Jesus actually said 'WE are the CHILDREN of God' - to imply that all human beings are equal in God's eyes.\n...But in subsequent translations, the intepreters [who already had the setting-up of a powerful religion in their minds] conveniently changed Jesus' statement from the plural to the singular. And [male chauvinists, all !] corrected the gender-neutral 'children' into 'son(s)' as well !\n...If we take Jesus' own words [spoken in Aramaic] into account, then all of humanity [including Jesus !] will be children of God.\n...But, several people [including even some christians] found it [and still find it] difficult to digest the mis-translated statement that Jesus himself claimed that he alone was the 'son of God' !\n...From the overall image that one has of Jesus, he comes through as a thorough gentleman - who cannot really be associated with mouthing such 'tall claims' !\nThose are the handiwork of Jesus' 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of 'followers' - who needed such crudities as 'prop's for their 'campaigns' !

I'm not certain of the context, but, taken literally, the logic follows... \n\n...as the child develops into the man, the child, or boy, in a sense, gives "birth" or gives way to the man, and thus is the origin or "father" or the man.

Philip one of the disciples ask  Jesus to show them the Father. And Jesus answered him: 'have I been w/ you for just a short time, how come you are asking me to show you the father? Those who have seen me has seen the Father. If you don't believe me, then believe in the WORKS that I did'.\n\nIn short Jesus was telling the disciples that he did what his Father would have done if He came to earth. Just like a son, doing the works of a father--we say: 'like father, like son'.

There is no question of debate.\nJoh 14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?\nJohn 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Is it the one 'If you can keep your head when all around are losing theres, you'll be a man my son'? (I think that might be Rudyard Kiplings 'If' though.)

God is the Father, Jesus is the Son. However, if you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father.

The closest thing that I can think of is that the Kabbalists label the middle piller of the Ein Sof (the 10 emanations of God) as being "The Son".  But they would make huge distinctions between this concept and how most Christians would see "the Son".

16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,[b] the Son of the living God." \n\n 17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.\n\nFirst we need to understand what Jesus was looking for, "Who do you say I am?"  Peter answer was correct; the Christ, the Son of the living God, sooooooo...  Jesus was stating that upon this rock, or in modern day terms upon this confession He will build His church (Jesus the Son of God being the chief cornerstone of the church)  He also said "for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven".  It was a Revelation that simply put was reveled to Peter by God, and not himself\n\nother passages make clear that Jesus Himself is the foundation. The chief cornerstone was the foundational stone in ancient architecture, from which all measurements began, so every other stone was laid in relationship to the cornerstone. Clearly this position belongs to Jesus.

That's funny, I remember Jesus saying repeatedly that he was NOT the son of God. He said he was the Son of Man. He claimed God was his father, but not necessarily in the biological sense, and he didn't claim any special relationship.\n\nBut regardless, the bible is a collection of mythology. Believe it if it makes you happy, but don't pretend there's some kind of proof that you're right and everyone else is wrong. All your logic is circular - the Bible proves Christ's divinity, and we know the Bible is accurate because Christ said so, and he's divine.
