The word “Messiah” is an English rendering of the Hebrew word “Mashiach”, whose translation is “Anointed”. It usually refers to a person initiated into G-d’s service by being anointed with oil. (Having oil poured on his head. Cf. Exodus 29:7, I Kings 1:39, II Kings 9:3).
There are many Messiahs in the Bible. Since every King and High Priest/pastor was anointed with oil, each may be referred to as “an anointed one” (a Mashiach or a Messiah). For example: “G-d forbid that I [David] should stretch out my hand against the L-rd’s Messiah [Saul]...” I Samuel 26:11. Cf. II Samuel 23:1, Isaiah 45:1, Psalms 20:6.
Christ is the Greek word for Messiah and Messiah NEVER meant son of god.
THE Messiah was the Last Israelite Prophet sent unto the Jews as a final redeemer. If they accepted him (without trying to kill him) they would be forgiven for slaying so many Prophets before him.
Jesus had a miracle birth and performed miracles so that NOBODY could call him an imposter and sentence him to death.
Even then they did.......... and an eternal curse was sent down and then the Prophethood and revelations were shifted to the Ishmaelites (the new fig tree and new Jerusalem).

They interpret & say as they please, but never in unison.
That's why there are so many sects & denominations of what they call the truth.

We didn't change anything.
Mat 26:62 The High Priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Have you no answer to give to this accusation against you?"
Mat 26:63 But Jesus kept quiet. Again the High Priest spoke to him, "In the name of the living God I now put you under oath: tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."
Mat 26:64 Jesus answered him, "So you say. But I tell all of you: from this time on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of heaven!"
I think this question was posted the exact same way before. Asking it again?

I think you answered your own answer.
Jesus is referred as the messiah.
god cannot be messiah because it wouldn't make sense to anointed yourself. you would already be in charge.
messiah means anointed
