What is man that thou [God] shouldst magnify him?

I could go through your posts and find many examples of your discussion on man that would make it very hard to believe that God would magnify him. That is the question. The answer to this question is Jesus. Jesus explains to us what man is and what man can be that God would magnify man to sit on His throne and to be called the Son of God.

Look at how Hebrews quotes this verse:

2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.

The reference here is clearly to Jesus.
