@IMedaber He made the distinction himself…
The 0.1 percent of self-identified Lubavitchers who believe they’re davening to the Rebbe coincidentally don’t visit the Ohel…
@IMedaber 1) You were clearly implying that the OP davens to the Rebbe or is at least ok with it. Not talking about lunatics.
2) Maybe there’s a different way to define חי וקיים that doesn’t apply to the Halachos of Tumas Meis?
@AaronHaleva@therealavichads Doesn’t sound like you’ve heard about it cause your implying that people believe someone can be Moshiach while still being dead
@BacovcinAkiva@IMedaber A post facto movement is still a kind of movement.
Regarding presumption, I’ll quote the Rambam:
אם כל זה אחכה לו בכל יום
וכל מי שאינו מאמין בו, או מי שאינו מחכה לביאתו, לא בשאר הנביאים בלבד הוא כופר אלא בתורה ובמשה רבינו…
@BacovcinAkiva@IMedaber True.
You still cannot preemptively call them heresy because of that, though.
Also, I’m pretty sure that the eventual Moshiach will emerge out of some kind of Messianic movement considering that he’s Messiah…
@IMedaber@BacovcinAkiva Why is it problematic?
Do you have a concrete source for that or is that just how you feel?
Which Gemara or Rishon writes that?
