>But not that he was the Messiah, God Incarnate.
If I'm not mistaken Messiah does not translate to "God Incarnate." Messiah
translates to "Christ" or "the Anointed One" or "God's Anointed One."

| You're not mistaken.
"," does not imply translation.
Messiah and God Incarnate are two properties of Christ that Christians
affirm.

| Messiah means "annointed".
Three kinds of people were annointed in the Old Testament: prophets,
priests, and kings.
To accept Jesus as Messiah is to accept all three roles:
As prophet, he is the greatest teacher, the greatest of God's
messengers because Jesus is God.
As priest, he has offered to God the prefect sacrifice, His own life.
The one and final sacrifice.
As king, he is King of Heaven and Earth, and the source of all
authority and all mercy.

This is, of course, mostly true. At the same time I'd like to acknowledge
that there have always been some Christians, some which pre-date the writings
of New Testament, who believed Jesus was the Messiah, but who did not
recognize Jesus as God Incarnate.
If I'm not mistaken, while being One whose arrival was greatly anticipated,
the ancient Jews never sought or required in their Messiah the characteristic
of being God Incarnate.
Peace,
Richard

| I don't know who these followers of Jesus were (who profess that the
claim made by Jesus to be Son of God to be hoax or lunacy). Perhaps
you can tell us a bit more.
Of course, the strictly monotheisitic Jews believed that the claim of
Jesus, the Messiah, to be the Son of God to be a blasphemy that merited
death. They killed the people who continued to call Jesus the Son of
God, such as Stephen.
It's not a matter of what the Jews "sought or required", it is what God
revealed to them, through His messengers, the prophets.
