First some basics as syag has a point. If I am to answer, we need to agree on the basics.
1) there are no “Elokists” in lubavitch. It’s not lubavitch there are maybe a handful of some people, like five? Who went off r”l. So don’t equate them with lubavitch by saying meshichists and Elokists as if it’s one and the same.
2) we had a discussion on meshichists, the term means different things to different people. May be helpful to elaborate on what you mean by that, as by one definition, I wouldn’t be, by another definition, the vast majority of lubavitch are.
3) If we’re discussing Torah, all Torah sources should be acceptable. Otherwise were just having a culturally acceptable conversation which is not worth my time as you can’t have a fruitful discussion based on emotion.
And by Torah sources I mean that Zohar and other pnimius HaTorah, such as Chassidus sources can be used as well. It’s the same Torah and you will find the sources in Nigle as well, but I am not as familiar with all Nigle sfarim. We shouldn’t have to bring the nefesh Hachaim because the Zohar or Tanya isn’t as acceptable. Of course you can bring in supporting Nigle sources, is all the same Torah and you’ll find the ideas in both. Gaon seems like he’s got a well rounded base of knowledge and maybe he’ll be able to help out here as well,
Can we agree on these points?
