1) Of course the comparison is uncanny in many ways. And it makes not one iota of difference that Chabad is not calling on us to debate them. All of the responses that we have given missionaries for thousands of years show the falseness of their arguments today. And they have taken away one of the main arguments that anti-missionary activists can use against people trying to convert the innocent to Christianity.
2) I am not predicting the future. If you want to know what the BST stood for, learn Chassidus.
3) I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
