@ChabadShlucha,
“I am personally ambivalent over whether the Rebbe must be Moshiach as I definitely see place for both interpretations, but I don’t yet see anyone else who could”
Very well said, and I think that many Lubavitchers would subscribe to that view, it’s quite “moderate” (I hate to use that word, but I want to put it in perspective for others here).
Was this always your view or did it soften throughout this discussion? You don’t have to answer, I understand if you don’t.
(Also, do you still take me seriously even though you now know exactly how old I am? 🙂 )
