My point is that the Hebrew Scripture prophecies refer to an extraordinary human being who is obviously favored by God but do not indicate that he is to be of uniquely divine origin or status. That was an invention of Christianity that isn't found in the Hebrew Scriptures, and it's why Jews do not accept Jesus as their Messiah. Extraordinary human Being, Supernatural Human Being? Divine origins, no difference. Does the Hebrew scripture specifically state the Messiah would NOT have divine origins, or is just not indicated? Would a man who is less than extraordinary be able to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah 53? Clearly no Prophet was able to do so. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
