Nom, i said i wasn’t sure if following rashis pshat would be kefirah – i didn’t say it was or wasn’t. The chassm sofer says it is – so fine. Thanks for the source.
As for mekubalim, I don’t think you’re a mekubal. Mekubalim are not on the internet and they don’t believe that atheism is kosher as long as you keep the mitzvos.
As for what the rishonim say about nevuah, there are different facets and different opinions; so what? And i am speaking about ko amar Hashem so much because that and words like it are definitive nevuos. Nobody uses terminology like that or says that Hashem spoke to them.
I don’t believe you’re qualified to learn eitz chaim in any meaningful way because you’re not a talmid chacham of that stature, and neither am I. I also don’t know about this unnamed individual you say was believed to be a navi – who is he, what did he say, and what was said about him? Was he a shoteh? Nevuah can be transmitted through shotim.
