If a True and Authentic Netzari Jew Met Rambam

If a true and authentic Netzari Jew met Rambam, this is what he would tell the Rav.

"1. I believe with perfect faith that Rabbi Yeshua was not G-d, and that G-d is the Creator and Ruler of all creation. G-d alone has made, does make, and will make all things. Rabbi Yeshua was a man.

2. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is One and not Three. There is no unity that is in any way like G-d's. He alone is our G-d, He was, He is, and He will be. I do not believe in a Trinity.

3. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is not a Man, and therefore does not have a body, He is completely incorporeal. Physical concepts do not apply to G-d. There is nothing created whatsoever that resembles Him at all. Therefore Rabbi Yeshua was not G-d.

4. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is the first and the last. G-d existed prior to everything, and exists after everything. Therefore Rabbi Yeshua was not G-d.

5. I believe with perfect faith that it is only proper to pray to G-d. One may not pray to anyone or anything else. Therefore I do not pray to Rabbi Yeshua.

6. I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the Prophets are absolutely true. Rabbi Yeshua did not teach a different Prophets.

7. I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses is absolutely true. He was the chief of all Prophets, both before and after him. Therefore the Sinai event was the ultimate revelation of all time and cannot be duplicated by any other Prophet. This is what Rabbi Yeshua taught.

8. I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that we now have is that which was given to Moses. Rabbi Yeshua did not teach a different Torah.

9. I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be changed, and that there will never be another Torah given by G-d. Rabbi Yeshua did not replace Torah, nor did he abolish or change Torah.

10. I believe with perfect faith that G-d knows all of man's deeds and thoughts. This is what Rabbi Yeshua taught.

11. I believe with perfect faith that G-d rewards those who keep His commandments, and punishes those who transgress His commandments. This is what Rabbi Yeshua taught.

12. I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah. He will bring the Messianic Era, we yearn for his coming daily. I believe with perfect faith that there have been many Messiahs, and that Rabbi Yeshua was Messiah son of Joseph, but I await for the coming of Messiah son of David.

13. I believe with perfect faith in the resurrection of the dead, when G-d wills it to happen. This is what Rabbi Yeshua taught."
