1] yehoshua b prachya lived much before the historical j we are talking about
so the j which is our subject was not the talmid discussed in that gmara
2] the second gmara mentions that j was busy with kishuf , which might explain the so-called wonders he allegedly performed
and that j was meisit umediach et yisrael
a term which normally is used for causing and promoting avoda zara
gmara does not state which avoda zara
the only avoda zara from those times we know about , is the belief and worship of j himself
so , besides j’s kishuf
and j’s promotion of self worship
he would not be worthy of any punishment
possibly because he was a shomer torah in all other aspects
if we are to believe this pupil of j , called mathew
.
.
in other words according to the above
j was a shomer torah but in addition to his proclaimed shmirat mitsvot and professed belief in nits’hiyut hatorah , he was also
a self proclaimed navi , a self proclaimed messiah who promoted self worship and performed so called ‘miracles’ with the power of the samech mem.
.
.
I know firsthand of many attempts by xtians to draw on the similarities between the late rebbi of habad and their j ,
to justify and promote their own dead god
.
.
should habad not take this into consideration before they embark on their roller coaster novel theological experiments
designed to inflate and overstate their own leader’s importance ???
