Numbers 23:19
God is not a man,
that he should lie;
neither the son of man,
that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken,
and shall he not make it good?
 
Who wrote the lie? What do you know about it? As far scripture is concerned I understand it to be a mystical reality that I cannot master with my comprehension. Hence it says in the golden book:

“Our curiosity often impedes our reading of the Scriptures, when we wish to understand and mull over what we ought simply to read and pass by. If you would profit from it, therefore, read with humility, simplicity, and faith, and never seek a reputation for being learned. Seek willingly and listen attentively to the words of the saints; do not be displeased with the sayings of the ancients, for they were not made without purpose.” (Thomas à Kempis. (1996). The Imitation of Christ (p. 10). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems.)

I’m confused what the point being argued is.

No point. The user just wanted to yell at people.

God the son is a Man, and God the Father has chosen that we refer to him as male. The Father might not be male, but it would be the height of pride to say that that we have the right to decide how He should be referred to.
 
Are we talking about whether the entirety of the Godhead is a spirit and hence not male in a literal sense, or is the OP talking about the Arian heresy?

Do you believe that God became a man a son of man?

Because it is the truth over and over again.

See… I can shout 2+2=4 at someone as many times as I want, it’s not going to help me prove that cats meow.

Jesus claimed divinity for himself. Either he was a liar, a lunatic, or our Lord. Considering the miracles he performed, and the fact of his Resurrection, we can safely assume the latter of the three. As such, Jesus is God, and therefore, God the Son is a man.

Yep.

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
