“The Rebbe did not have any children and therefore, there was no one to fill his place as Nosi Hador. ”
That logic doesnt follow. Moshe Rabbeinu’s children didnt succeeed him neither did Yehoshua’s Nor Osniel, nor Ehud ben geria etc etc. The leader of a Dor doesnt have to be the son of the previous leader.
“. It is stated in Rambam somewhere ”
where?
“– I’m not sure exactly where, but you could ask anyone”
Ok Im asking you
” – that it is the obligation of every Jew to fervently believe that their teacher is Moshiach.”
good luck finding it, dont look too hard there is no such Rambam.
Being that the Rebbe is our teacher we believe that he is Moshiach even though he past away 23 years ago.
“Maybe I will post some miraculous stories below later”
dont bother there are stories about Mother Teresa too. That doesnt make her Moshiach.
“Therefore, discussions whether he passed away or not, are not for us to talk about because really, we don’t know. ”
Um we do. there were thousands at his levaye.
“The Rebbe was a holy person”
Agreed so stop degrading him with ridiculous claims.
“I hope I have helped you guys to gain some clarity ”
Ok that you did.
You conclusivly demontarted that, at least for some meshichists, the entire idea is built on an illogical premise (namely if a leader has no sons he remains leader forever) and a fake source (the made up Ramabam that every teacher is msohiach)
