Ben,

Those who know things in Torah don’t use their knowledge to whack people over the head and make it look like they know better, questioning their mental abilities and saying things like “it might be a surprise to you,”

It’s just childish grandstanding, and it shows not only a lack of knowledge, but a profound insecurity. It’s a bully mentality.

I’ve responded to your interpretations, phantasmagorical as they might be, and I’ve entertained your messianic rantings, but if you want people to take you seriously, you need to cool it with the ad hominem stuff. It’s just embarrassing.

Kabalah can be twisted into avodah zara very easily. If someone thinks that G-d can be divided in any way, even if he’s basing himself on mekubalim like the arizals comments on chelek elokah, such a person is still an oved avodah zara.

It is avodah zara to say that Hashem has any body, or that any body reaches him. This is 13 ikkarim. A rebbe or any other tzadik is not god. He doesn’t have god in him, as Hashem cannot be contained, divided, be here and not there, etc..

What the lubavitcher rebbe wrote was an answer to how a person is allowed to pray at the kever of a tzadik. Instead of going the normal route and saying that it’s either bzchus the tzadik or tbat you’re asking the tzadik to daven for you, the lubavitcher rebbe went into avodah zara and said you can daven there because you’re davening to god, because a rebbe is atzmus elokus, the essence of god, vos ehr hut areingeshtelt in a guf, which he has erapped himself in a body.

And this is why many in neo chabad have no qualms about asking the rebbe to save them when they’re in trouble.

And this is why some call him boreinu, our creator r”l.

And no amount of being told that I don’t understand or don’t know will change that.
