Chabad's 13 Principles Of Faith
CHABAD'S THIRTEEN PRINCIPLES OF FAITH:
1. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is the Creator and the Rebbe, shlit'a the Ruler of all things. Together as One, in Unity, they alone have made, do make, and will make all things. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
2. I believe with perfect faith that the Rebbe, shlit"a and G-d are One. There is no unity that is in any way like this. They alone are our G-d. He was, He is, and He will be. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
3. I believe with perfect faith that G-d does not have a body except for the Rebbe, Shlit"a. Physical concepts do not apply to Him. There is nothing whatsoever that resembles Him at all, except the Rebbe, shlit"a (and maybe the previous Rebbe). Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
4. I believe with perfect faith that the Rebbe is the seventh and last. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
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 (except the Rebbe, shlit'a). Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
6. I believe with prefect faith that all the words of the Rebbes and prophets are true. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
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, except for the Rebbe, shlit"a, whose prophecy is higher and who is, Himself, higher than Moses. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
8. I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that we now have is that which was given to Moses. This includes the Tanya and other works of Chabad chassidus, which were given to Moses but kept hidden because of our sins until our Rebbes revealed them. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
9. I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be changed, and that there will never be another given by G-d, until the Messianic Era, where G-d and the Rebbe, shlit"a will reveal a new Torah to us. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
10. I believe with perfect faith that the Rebbe, shlit"a knows all of man's deeds and thoughts. It is thus written (Psalm 33:15), "He has molded every heart together, He understands what each one does." Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
11. I believe with perfect faith that the Rebbe, shlit"a rewards those who do His mivtzoyim, and punishes those who do not. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
12. I believe with perfect faith in the revelation of the Rebbe, shlit"a, King Messiah. How ever long this takes, I will publicize His coming every day with large signs, billboards and flags. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
13. I believe with perfect faith that the dead will be brought back to life when the Rebbe, shlit"a (who is still Himself alive although we do not see Him because of our sins) wills it to happen. Yechi Adonaynu Moraynu v'Rabaynu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Vo'ed!
the sad part is that some of these they really hold of

Shalom Shalom,
I could not find the contact email for the owner of the site, so I figured I would post my message here.
I recently added an MP3 shiur on my site, dedicated to understanding the source of mystical messianism and its latest manifestation in Habad. I also have an audi shiur already on the site of David Berger in a lecture that was given some time ago.
If you would like to, please feel free to advertise the site and the shiurim at www.torahlight.com.
Happy Hannukah. Here is to combatting foreign ideologies that attempt to destroy us from within and from without.

It is very distressing to see this huge billboard on Manhattan's West Side Highway showing a picture of the Rebbe and saying Messiah has Come and all that is needed is for good deeds to be done. This dangerous stupidity is not being challenged by the main stream Orthodox "leadership" which is even more dangerous as it further drives home the weak leadership we have today. No wonder the true Meshiach has not yet come. We get the leadership we deserve.Hashem should only have mercy on us. These Lubavitchers are viscious animals when you do not agree with them.

I have no clue were you get your information from, but this whole thing is a big lie ...I can't belive that someone is wasting his time to cause distress betwen jewish people and chilul hashem ....I thing you should learn a little bit more about chabad before writing anything.....if you would learn you would realize that it's all based in torah.....and there is no such a thing like this principles that you are making it up!!

With all due respect, many who post here have learned within the 'four amos' of Chabad for many years.
While their dress, and practices may lend credibility to their deranged ideas, there is nothing that they say that is 'based on the torah' as you put it. The Tora is a book of truth, not a vehicle for self denial and lies.
Your inference that all those who oppose Chabad is only because they are ignoramuses is a typical tactic by those who would seek to defame rather than debate.
By the way, how long does one need to study Chabad Chassidus before he can make an educated appraisal of the movement that would meet your approval? Would ten years be to little?

not even 100 years is enough even if the person learned with the rebbe himself if all they want is to learn to speak against another jew and it would have been better if they were born dead. try looking at things with to get the truth and not to just speak against others.
