24. lots of meshugas here
The notion of a messiah as a divine being is not acceptable to Jews. Only God is said to be divine, and there is no concept of a "Son of God" per se. My understanding (and I am hardly a biblical scholar) is that the messiah is supposed to herald the beginning of a "messianic age". But that the messiah his or herself is not divine.


BTW- any Jewsforjesus out there, I'm just answering the question. You're free to believe whatever you want.
