This Special Discussion Forum was developed in conjunction with the presentation of a special 13 week series, entitled CREDO 13, on Maimonides' Principles of Faith that orginally aired in Ontario, in Spring 2005, on Sunday evenings, at 10:00 pm, on CTS. While this Discussion Forum is presented in connection with this program, viable participation in it is not limited to those who have seen the show.
The Thirteenth Principle is a belief in the ultimate resurrection of the dead. i.e. an ultimate re-unification of body and soul. What this means and the circumstances regarding this re-unification, however, is a matter of disagreement with Rambam being in the centre of the controversy. The idea of resurrection implies a value to the body with which Rambam would seem to have a difficulty. Thus Rambam was actually accused of not believing in this principle even as he formulated it. Rambam responded with a very narrow perception of Resurrection, specifically focusing on it as a part of the procedure of the final judgement. Others, of course, understood resurrection to reflect the final state of eternal humanity.
my answer to the thirteen credo, concerning the question of if G-D has emotion or does G-D have emotions. and my answer is yes. remember when G-D said put no other gods before for I,M a jealous G-D VISITING INIQUTIITES TO THIRD AND FORTH GENERATIONS. THIS MEANS G-D HAS FEELING AND EMOTIONS. HE LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY THIS IS AN EMOTION . I CAN, T QOUTE WHERE I FOUND IT . BUT THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL CRIED OUT TO THE L-RD. HE SAID I CAN MY SOUL CAN NO LONGER BARE THEIR SUFFERING. THIS MEANS ALLSO THAT OUR HAS A NISHAMA A SOUL. ARE NOT MADE IN HIS IMAGE????????
