Put down the gun (Sechel HaYashar, come too – you wanted to hear about the Christian theology), that statement from the Tanya you have to be extremely careful with. Anybody who takes it totally literally is guilty of minus. Why is Christianity an avodah zorah? Because they believe in the concept of trinity- that G-d and J. and the Holy Spirit are actually three parts of one indivisible G-d.
Also my point was that Lubavitchers associate with their Rebbes attributes and functions that other frum Jews associate with G-d. You don’t give din ve’cheshbon in front of the Rebbe-you give it in front of G-d. It was a jarring statement to make! One risks one’s life because of fealty to G-d – not to do the will of the Rebbe.
