Reply To: See It For Yourself

Let me reiterate one more time something which everyone here clearly didn’t understand, the rambam writes that someone who was thought to be moshiach (bar kochba, meaning ppl thought that he WAS MOSHIACH THEN) since he died, ppl knew he wasn’t moshiach, because a dead person can’t be moshiach, the rebbe was never even bechezkas moshiach according to halacha, so just like he wasn’t moshiach in his lifetime so to he isn’t moshiach now, but if there is techiya than when he is alive then he is like any other live person who is possible to be moshiach, the rambam never negates that possibility, all the rambam says is if there is someone who is assumed to be moshiach when be dies you should know that he is not moshiach, the rebbe was never bechezkas moshiach to not be moshiach later rather the rebbe was like anyone else who wasn’t moshiach during his life and isn’t moshiach afterwards, but if there is techiya then when that happens the rebbe is like any other live person who can be chosen as moshiach then
