  2. Doesn't the problem of determining the halachic state of L Jews begin well before the issue of messianism, back when the rav who would be the next and last L rebbe declared the rebbe to be "Atzmus uMahus melubach beguf -- Divine Essence and Substance clothed in a body"?

    L Messianism took a figure who was already in Buddha's role and added a messianic component. But the L position since 1951 has been violating the 5th ikkar emunah as many poseqim would define it.
