Analyse the titles Son of God and Son of Man. Did Jesus see himself as either or both? Introduction “…one in being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” The Nicene Creed (325 AD). This is a declaration of our faith that we pronounced every time we attend Mass. The creed is a personal statement of what we believe. We believe that Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God. A wide cross section of people, including theologians believe that Jesus was only a human person who had special gifts given to Him by God; they did not believe that He was truly God.

When professional writers complete their first draft, they usually feel they are at the start of the writing process. Now that they have a draft, they can begin writing. That difference in attitude is the difference between amateur and professional, inexperience and experience, journeyman and craftsman. Most productive writers share the feeling that the first draft (and most of those that follow) is an opportunity todiscover what they have to say and how they can best say it.
