Let me quote wikipedia:
"Messiah (Hebrew: =D7=9E=D6=B8=D7=81=D7=A9=D6=B4=D7=99=D6=B7=D7=97,
Standard=
Ma=C5=A1=C3=ADa=E1=B8=A5 Tiberian M=C4=81=C5=A1=C3=AE=C2=AA=E1=B8=A5;
Arama=
ic:
=D7=9E=D7=A9=D7=99=D7=97=D7=90, Aramaic/Syriac:
=DC=A1=DC=AB=DC=BA=DC=9D=DC=
=9A=DC=B3=DC=90, M=C9=99=C5=A1=C3=AE=E1=B8=A5=C4=81; Arabic:
=D8=A7=D9=84=D9=
=85=D8=B3=D9=8A=D8=AD=E2=80=8E, al-Mas=C4=AB=E1=B8=A5)
Literally, Messiah means "The Anointed (One)", typically someone
anointed with holy anointing oil. Figuratively, anointing is done to
signify being chosen for a task; so, Messiah means "The Chosen (One)",
particularly someone divinely chosen.
In Jewish messianic tradition and eschatology, Messiah refers to a
future Jewish King from the Davidic line, who will be and rule the
Jewish people during the Messianic Age. In Standard Hebrew, The
Messiah is often referred to as =D7=9E=D7=9C=D7=9A
=D7=94=D7=9E=D7=A9=D7=99=
=D7=97, M=C3=A9le=E1=B8=AB ha-Ma=C5=A1=C3=ADa=E1=B8=A5 (in the
Tiberian vocalization pronounced M=C3=A9le=E1=B8=B5
hamM=C4=81=C5=A1=C3=AE=
=C2=AA=E1=B8=A5), literally meaning
"the Anointed King." "
The problem with the 'god' notion comes from Christianity, since Jesus
is considered to be a God and a Messiah. But that part can easily be
disregarded by the fact that Paul has human father. I do not believe
that F. Herbert would be interested so much to describe the messiah as
much as effect that cult of messiah has on human societies.
Therefore I can conclude that Paul is not a god.
