Well...if you know anything about the Jewish faith then you would know that they believe the Messiah is the Son of God. They do not believe, however, that Jesus was the Son of God, therefore he is not their Messiah, although he is considered a prophet.

The Christian belief that Jesus was God's son, in the sense that God made a human woman pregnant who then literally bore "God's son", is an entirely pagan Greek idea, which was incorporated into 2nd and 3rd century gentile Christianity.
(Jesus and his early Jewish followers did not hold this concept in the slightest).

This idea was solidified into the Church at the Council of Nicea in the year 325 CE.

In the Jewish tradition there is not much focus on the Messiah himself; to concentrate too much on the actual person is mistake. The focus should be on the Messianic Age, and how we as people can improve the world and merit the coming of this stage of history.

That said, we DO know several things about the person of the Messiah. He will be a descendant of King David, just an ordinary person; he brings about this world peace, restores the Jews in Israel and rebuilds the Holy Temple, etc.

I believe the Jewish people believe their God
is one person so their messiah will not be regarded as the son of God.

The messiah was sent to tell Gods message to the people. Some Jewish people accept the fact that Jesus was a great teacher ... some accept the fact that he was the messiah.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him hath everlasting life."

( There are no Jews or Gentiles in Christ
believers have become one with one God .)

Jewish thought regarding the Messiah does not know of a "son" relationship to G-d. Certainly there are many relationships the litergy uses to describe G-d's relationship to the Jewish people but that "son" is not one of them. The "son" concept is an invention of Christianity.

The Méleḫ ha-Mašíaḥ (Anointed King) will not be a divine being. The moshiach does not save mankind or sacrifice himself for everyone's sins. He will be a man, complete with a Yetzer HaRa (an evil inclination), which all humans have, and his coming will inaugurate the messianic era prophesied in the Tanakh, a time of peace and plenty when the swords shall be beaten into plowshares.

hi, you can hit, kill Jews repeatable times, regrettably, they will never admit to it, even though they wrote the book about it, exactly. Jesus Christ was and is the Messiah but not theirs any longer, they wrote of His rejection too, “His bones shall not be broken.” The typical Jew believes the Rabbi, over the word of God. A foolish cursed lot, Caiaphas knew well to control and abuse them, after all they learned nothing from the exodus of Egypt.

NO !! The Messiah, according to the Bible, will be a descendant of king David (via king Solomon).

I've known Jewish people that believe more in a Messianic age more than one person. I think it all depends on what their Rabbi teaches.

Not literally. Jews believe we are all children of God, but also that God is One and indivisible; so He cannot have a divine son.

Maybe devout religious people do, but as a jew, I do not care who the son of god is. I personally think we evolved so....
whatever.
