Thinking of it in "reverse" just makes it easier to figure out/understand, you don't actually HAVE to, and besides anyone who knows math well can think that out logically anyway, especially if they ever did any computer programming!
]]>please don't call me anoni.it sounds kinda stupid.
]]>let us consider the part "but that man's father, is my father's son.":
let us reverse the order:
my father's son is that man's father
now my father's son is me so the above statement is the sam as:
'me' is that man's father
or grammatically correct:
i am that man's father
which means that 'that man' is my son.
]]>The man says, "Brothers and sisters, I have none, but that man's father, is my father's son."
No brother or sisters.
Although the man in the picture's father is my father's son. His father's son is only himself, so the picture man is his child.
Hi samalia, goteamusa, LycanMaster;
Read the statement of the question slowly and carefully..break it down into simple logical parts.
The man says, "Brothers and sisters, I have none, but that man's father, is my father's son."
1. Brothers and sisters, I have none --- means that he is the only child of his parents.
2. but that man's father --- 'that' refers to the person in the portrait.
3. (but that man's father,) is my father's son --- now my father's son means he himself, since he is an only child right?. So he is 'that man's father'...and so 'that man' is his son!Reply if you still have any doubt..and well said bobbym.
Think about this. You would say that [Depending if you are male or female] I am my father's son/daughter. So my father's son would mean he is speaking of himself being the son of his father. See what I was saying?

]]>Welcome to the forum. I have heard those comments too. They provoke me to action, that is why they are said. Retaliation is as pointless as the first insult.
]]>He is an only child (Brothers and sisters, I have none)
He says that it is his fathers son
With these, it states that the man in the picture is himself.
