@CS
Whatever the excuse is re the position of “then habad”.
Are they Wrong or are they Right.
Thats NOT the issue at all .
The issue is the following – and PLEASE stick to the argument this time .
Fact is that “Habad then” proclaimed LOUD AND CLEAR that mashiach is from living only .
.
HOW DID THEY THEN EXPLAIN ALL THE MA’AMAREI HAZAL ???
.
They knew all the abarbanels , all the rashi’s , all the sdei hemeds , all the sippurim of the friedreiker rebbi , all the merchandise you unpack everywhere , which allegedly is fire proof , bomb proof , impossible to argue with, etcetera. etcetera …….
AND STILL DISCARDED ALL THOSE PROOFS .
All those litvishe , all those hasidi non habad who disagree with your pshatim , nu , they are not habad , what do they know about discovering the right pshat in hazal ?
But habad , those people who do know the right pshat in ma’amarei hazal , and do not err just because it “happens” to suit their propaganda objective at this given time , THEY DISCARDED ALL THOSE PROOFS,
How can you ignore all THEIR way of learning those ma’amarei hazal ?
Or , Phrased in another way – If you, CS, would be put in a ‘time machine’ , transported to the 1990 – 1994 era , and would be commenting on these pages , would you ‘explain’ those hazal like the shitah of ‘then habad’ or like you do now ?
My ‘educated guess’ is – lke the shitah of ‘then habad’ ….
So do you realize that you LOST all trust about understanding the REAL pshat in hazal , and memeila all trust in general ???
