Not an actual rabbi?

It is very odd one would jump to that conclusion about a male writer at chabad.org with respect to סמיכה (rabbinic ordination), not to mention the diatribe against the Talmud unless one was not Jewish or not (very) knowledgeable about Judaism.

Then again, the writer made the case from an Orthodox perspective that a Jew who converts to Christianity remains a Jew.

I didn’t “jump” to that conclusion. I looked up the author.

Anyway, I’m done playing “this word means two contradictory things at the very same time” games, so if you want to discuss the topic, I require you to differentiate one use of the word “Jew” from the very distinct other use.
