An explanation that someone gave me about this issue is as follows:
In general , Lubavitchers hold that their derech is the closest to Hashem’s wishes that His Shechinah should dwell in the lowest worlds . That is why they learn Chabad Chassidus, in order to bring down G-dly concepts into the human mind. Other groups do not bring down these concepts into their understanding, but Lubavitch holds that this is essential. This is why Lubavitch believe their derech is superior, b/c what they believe is essential, others are not doing. Therefore they hold that their leader must be the Nosi HaDor. The reason why the other groups don’t hold that their derech is superior like Lubavitch does, is b/c, even according to their derochim , everyone is doing everything that needs to be done. Just they may not agree with the way they do it. According to Chabad, only they are doing this essential thing, and that’s why they believe their derech is superior

Could we stop the vitriol and get back to the main point of this thread? I have looked thru’ this whole thread from the beginning, and in the last comments
I couldn’t read the main protaganist, who will remain nameless, b/c he stooped to terrible language.
So, to get back to the point of this thread, I would like to say that , to me, it is irrelevant whether Yaacov Ovenu was really alive or not, and also
the physical status of RabbiYehudah HaNasi when making Kiddish for his family . The question is: why equate the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt”l with these lofty individuals?
This is the essence of the matter.
Most Lubavitchers seem to believe that the Rebbe was on the level to be equated with Yaacov Ovenu, and that is why they use Rashi’s commentary to support their claim that he still qualifies to be Moshiach. This is matter for each person to decide; either view could be correct. But wasting so much
time etc., in discussing the issue of Rashi’s view etc., is not dealing with the issue at hand.
