“You’re using SZ as a proof that it’s justifiable to say that the Lubavicher rebbe can be Mashiach after he died!”
“Oh my… Did he seriously just use Shabbatei Tzvi (and implicitly also Yushke and any other dead moshiach) as an argument in FAVOR of Chabad meshichism?”
Except im not, that would be stupid. Im actually shocked that there is no critical reading going on here. What i responded to was “At no point in (literally hundreds) of false Moshiachs and Moshiach cults that we have spawned in the last 2000+ years, has anyone announced a Moshiach who was dead. Until 1996.”. The claim that no false moshiachs or moshiach cults ever claimed this isnt true and shabtai tzv would be a valid example of what was claimed here as the words “false moshiach” and “moshiach cults” were used.
