I never said that Chabad is like any other group, like Ger and like Belz.
I had one point only: Accusing Chabad of AZ is pure slander, מוציא שם רע against an עדה קדושה בישראל to the worst degree.
There is absolutely no basis to this claim, unless one is intentionally trying to misinterpret statements which were equivalent to statements made throughout Torah, as I referenced.
This is no different than the antisemites on the internet who throw together some mistranslated/misinterpreted talmudic passages and make a gevald.
“Hashem runs the world and He will take us out of Galus through His shliach the Rebbe.” Now that’s obviously a forced Pshat but for argument’s sake, we’ll accept it. So here’s the question, “Does any other Jewish group(Chassidish, Litvish Sfard you name it) declare their religious leader G-d’s partner?”
I know, it’s crazy to say that a human being is Hashem’s shliach to do something in the world. Almost as crazy as the kofer whom I overheard yesterday saying that he is supporting his family, as if it’s him and not Hashem. As crazy as Kalev saying that MOSHE split the sea, brought down manna, and flew in quail (see Rashi above). Or imagine if Moshe would have called Moshiach “Hashem’s shliach” to take the Jews out of golus (Rashi Shemos 4:13). As if G-d has partners! Pfft!
