Just because two groups hold a similar views does not make one group comparative to the other. I have heard such arguments from Baptists...yes and Atheists and pagans. I have been called a worshiper of Mithra because someone chose to note some similarities. I find papal and mormon comparisons VERY insulting and I consider that to be the intent when someone draws that comparison.
However I have to say to the SEs and others here that if you don't like being called Papal or Mormon then you should not do the same. |
I think Brother Epley dealt with Pels post very well. in context Pelathias comment wasnt over the line....wrong, but not over the line.
There is a difference between speaking to specific doctrinal position (what SE and Pel did in context) and making a blanket charge like we have seen around here for a while.
Also Pelathais' comment was within the context of this thread in particular dealing with those terms.
