You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -- Avi (talk) 19:32, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Sanhedrin 93b
Look at Rashi, Dibur Hamaschil "V'rava Amar". It means an intuitive sense, like we use "something smells fishy". And while it may be a form of Ruach Hakodesh, that is chas V'shalom a supernatural power, that is a gift of enhanced intuition and judgement from HKB"H, as it says Sod H" L'Rayav". Even flat-out Nevuah is not a "divine power". Divine power in that context is what the Christians ascribe to Jesus. -- Avi (talk) 20:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No, saying that the Gemara says he will have supernatural powers is misleading. Look at the Rambam in Melachim (IIRC) where Moshiach Tzidkenu is discussed. While I understand that you are claiming that Ruach HaKodesh and the like is the "supernatural" power, that is not what the paragraph is discussing. They are referring to the contrast between the human Moshiach and the Christian idea of the divine Messiah. What the Gemara means there is that Moshiach will "know" who is chayiv and who is patur as if he could detect the scent of guilt. It does not necessarily mean that Moshiach has superhuman bloodhound powers. So to add your statement would be misleading, Eli. -- Avi (talk) 20:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Shall we ascribe supernatural powers to R' Akiva Eiger based on the incident with the get? Ruach HaKodesh is not supernatural powers in the sense of the article there, and it is improper to make that jump. By the way, check your email, please. -- Avi (talk) 21:11, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
