Congregation Beth Messiah Berkley,MI

1. We believe that Adonai, our Lord, is the Master & Creator of the universe. (Genisis 1:1)
2. We believe that Adonai, our Lord God is One. He has revealed Himself to us as the Father, Son and Anointed One (Psalm 2:2, 6-9), and the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit). (Numbers 11:29, Judges 3:10, 6:34, 11:29, 14:19)
3. We believe that Torah (God's "Instruction") to mankind is contained in both Tanakh, the Hebrew Scriptures, and the New Covenant (or Testament). From Genesis to Revelation, we hold these scriptures as God breathed and inspired Word free from any and all defects.
4. We encourage the use of a "reputable" translation of the Word (we have adopted NIV for public reading and study).
5. The Bible reveals our Creator as a Holy God, Who intends mankind to live holy, righteous lives before Him. However, in mankind's fall in the Garden of Eden, all human beings are born with a nature prone to sin and are in need for "restoration" through atonement. This has been accomplised through the sacrifice of God's Son, Messiah Yeshua(Jesus).
