1. As rav Chaim said when someone wanted to bring proof from a debate that moshiach has to be ben acher ben to shlomo “one cannot bring proofs from debates”. But even if you wish to say that you can, there are other debates which say moshiach will come from the dead and he will be dovid!
2. Let chabad decide if they are being consistent or jumped the gun with conclusions etc. Thats for chabad to figure out, whatever the conclusion of that is has no affect on the topic of the thread which is whether moshiach can come from the dead and whether in the end g-d will choose the rebbe. G-d could choose the rebbe independent of what the movement says. But as an aside, I personally know lubavitchers who held moshiach could come from the dead before gimmel tammuz as i likewise heard from lubavitchers that people told them the rebbe cant be moshiach because moshiach will come from the dead and nobody today is worthy.
