Reply To: Rav Chaim: A Nebach Apikorus is also an Apikorus

MT: Counter-read the Rashis all you want. Do you have a way to waive off B’reishis 1:27? He says what he says. I don’t see why you say, “Chalilah”. Just that we have accepted the Rambam’s opinion and not Rashi’s in this does not mean that Rashi wasn’t entitled to his own Shittah on this. Bava Basra 58a sounds like HKBH has a Tzurah. See the Rashbam there who says it almost explicitly. R’ Moshe Taku, one of the Ba’alei Hatosfos, was famous (the Rambam mentions him by name in a letter) for believing in the corporeality of Hashem. Just because the Rambam is the only accepted Shittah on this nowadays doesn’t mean that we have to deny that at some point there were other Shittos.
