He is the god
There is none other than him!

OMG!!!!!

And they call *me* an Apikores for being Conservative?
Atleast I believe in One G-d and His holy Torah.
I'm speechless. This is just... out of this world!

I'm sorry, but is it fair to say that these people are no longer Jews?
Even if he were Moshiach, then why would we pray to Moshiach?
Crazy... and sick.

I've said that messianic chabadniks (which is just about all of them these days) are apikorsim, for a long time. Yes, it's Christianity.

But, to be fair, I think in this case it's obvious that this wasn't published by a real chabadnik. A real chabadnik wouldn't print אדני and אלהינו in a newspaper like that. It's likely anti-chabad propeganda. I dunno. Then again, even if they didn't print it, they believe it.

Woah, what a sick and twisted world we live in. Imitation is nasty, even though Messianic Chabad's nasty too!

Ugh... that's true, regarding G-d's names in the print. Hmm.

Even so, I wonder: what is the dividing line between normal Chabad and messianic Chabad? What's the ratio?

Welcome to Jewish Bizarroville, I guess.

True, but there is already one of those, and I`m quite sure it's not the fella in the newspaper ad.

Wow. I hope it isn't real, because saying that someone's private residence is the third temple and that one should pray to him seems to be over the top.
