I myself am witness to a habad truck adorned with a picture of their leader with the following inscription underneath
Rebbe, Advisor ,Leader ,Prophet, Redeemer, God.
Now ,with all honesty , where did this guy get his inspiration from ?
Not from this atsmut umehut rubbish ?
And what is this guy’s kavana exactly ? Also non literal ?
Come On ….
You can pull the wool over my eyes once , twice , but not more.
I remember myself going along naively with habads reassurances that their leader ABSOLUTELY disavows being mashiach ,disavows promoting himself as mashiach etc.
Supposedly it was only a few BT ignorant meshuga’im who didn’t know any better, who promoted his messiahship.
Now with the benefit of hindsight [and a few more maturing years] I have come to realisation who was really being “ignorant” .
It was me.
Sorry , but habad lost their hezkat ne’emanut when it comes to those matters of theology.
