If his biological offspring is God's son he would be David's Lord, that's how.
A heavenly king outranks an earthly king it really is that simple.

The Pharicees &al claimed Jesus was a Samaritan (John 8:48), i.e. a foreigner, NOT a Jew, and hence their denying him being a son of God, understood: Not a Jew and not a heir to Abraham's. Further reading of the same passage, you also see other things they said to discredit him, that he's a drunk and posessed by evil spirits.

(Messiah means merely 'king of Israel')

Yes but there is a big difference between the myriads of sons of God and the only-begotten son of God so we have come full circle in this discussion.
I agree Messiah is a title, there were false Messiahs too. The real Messiah saved mankind.edit on 30-12-2013 by Blue_Jay33 because: (no reason given)

Messiah means 'Moshiach' or 'Anointed One' in Hebrew.
King is Melek, or 'Melech'. The 2 are entirely different words, even if they do share a vague root.

Abraham was not a Jew until AFTER GOD made a covenant promise with him

Meshiach means "the annointed king of Judah-Israel of the house of David". Messiah is only used about Hebrew kings including and after king David. Not many, but a royal bloodline to the throne of Sion

Abraham was never a Jew

NOT TRUE.

Dude, do your research. You are increasingly looking like a Dan Brown novel.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Messiah means 'anointed one', be that anointed priest, anointed king, one anointed for a task. It's a derivative of mashach which means 'to anoint' or 'to consecrate'.
I could respect your gnosticism if you were genuine, but you clearly have an agenda rooted in dishonesty here.
Your spurious statements show a lack of integrity and an intent to pervert and deceive.
Moshiach is the Hebrew word for “messiah.” The word messiah in English means a savior or a “hoped-for deliverer.” The word moshiach in Hebrew actually means “anointed.” In Biblical Hebrew, the title moshiach was bestowed on somebody who had attained a position of nobility and greatness. For example, the high priest is referred to as the kohen ha-moshiach.
In Talmudic literature the title Moshiach, or Melech HaMoshiach (the King Messiah), is reserved for the Jewish leader who will redeem Israel in the End of Days.

Torah is very clear on the meaning of messiah, whether people like or choose to accept it or not.
