Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

Post 2 continued:

When I first joined the coffee room, I was much more naive about what the ways of thinking are, outside of lubavitch, and I volunteered to answer a thread on the topic of meshichism. By the time the thread was closed down there were pretty much just emotional responses, and I realized that not every topic is good for discussion on an Internet forum.

As far as my “shlucha schooling where we learned how to evade topics” i did take one class in seminary where we were advised that its not a great idea to, for example, tell a die hard vegan all the various reasons why korbanos are such a great thing, and we’re gonna do it when moshiach comes etc. Because their current state of mind is so far from that that all the sources you bring will not make a difference as they aren’t really open to hearing…

So when I started this thread, I wanted to focus on something we could all agree on or discuss, etc, how the world is advancing towards the Geula on a spiritual level which is also expressed in various ways on a practical level. To be excited about it. Discuss it.

Although meshichism falls under the topic of Geula, its controversial even within lubavitch (as you saw on that thread) and is really at the end of the day emuna based rather than a solid hashkafa ( altho there are sources either way.) so id rather keep that out of this discussion as I prefer on coming to common ground.
