<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>from the Koren translation:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>1. Hashem creates and rules all creatures, and He alone made, makes,
and will make, all things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>5. He is the only one to whom it is proper to pray</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>6. All the words of the prophets are true.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>10. He knows all the deeds of human beings, and all of their
thoughts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>11. He rewards those who keep His commandments and punishes those who
transgress them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>13. The dead will live again, at a time of the Creator's
choosing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It would take such a highly eccentric reading that I can't even fathom it,
to say that He knows all our deeds and thoughts, but is not necessarily
omniscient; or that He created everything, answers prayers, rewards and
punishes, and will bring the dead to life -- but is not necessarily
omnipotent.</DIV>
