CS,
“If sechel becomes a lubavitcher Rav one day I can see him saying something similar (that its a matter of hashkafa and not be willing to elaborate.)”
Firstly, I’m flattered, but in the fifth Chelek of Shulchan Aruch there’s a Seif that states that one who has spent too long on the Coffee Room is disqualified from being a Rov:)
What your Rov told you is something I wrote on one of these threads long ago, that even if you wish to believe that the Rebbe will be Moshiach, (something that the Rebbe himself negtes, in a Haara in a Sicha, will post the MM later) it’s impossible to claim that he is, or ever was Chezkas Moshiach. Obviously, if he were to have a Techiya before everyone else, he could potentially fulfill those criteria, though, as I said, the Rebbe doesn’t seem to hold this way.
