Daas,
“Why would it?
Those who say the Lubavicher Rebbe is HKB”H (or some form of that) are of course apikorsim, but why would thinking he’s coming to life as moshiach be?”
Agreed – if that is what it’s all about..
However, based on what is being said around here; there are many other fragments of new definitions and recreations on what is to be believed in terms of Moshiach and what in general is “Moshiach” and what it’s all about. Some of these insane definitions might touch upon the very Yesodos of Moshiach.
E.g. if one is to believe that ONLY and ONLY the Nasi Dor haShvii can be the long awaited Moshiach and nothing else can or will be Moshiach – יש לחקור – if the very Yesod Haikri has been infringed upon, as:
a) He/she has technically no Moshiach to believe in… b) The very essence of what is to be believed as Moshiach has been recreated to entirely something else.
I am not saying in a matter of Halacha O leMaaseh or concluding anything, My point is to make others aware that the concept of Moshiach shouldn’t be taken lightly as if you are just saying another Chidush…
Any opinions on the above?
