Reply To: I Guess I’m Pulling for the “Chabad Media” Now?

I’m not really familiar with this apparently ongoing machlokes, but I have a couple of observations based solely on the shakle vetarye here in the Coffee Room:
1. If Moshiach can be min hameisim, what do we need a recently deceased individual. What’s wrong with David haMelech himseelf?
2.If it is true that meshichists say that chazir will be muttar B’zman haMoshiach, that puts them in line with previous messianic movements like the Sabateans and Frankists who took the beracha Matir Asurim literally, I.E. that forbidden things are permitted.
