RAMBAM is in hilch melachim . When a candidate for mashiach dies in war and did not bring about the promises of the nevi’im we know that he is not mashiach.
Yankel, how disingenuous!
I clearly said that I’m not getting into the משיח מן המתים debate.
I was responding to a question of why would someone who believes that משיח מן המתים is possible reject Christianity.
My point was that Christianity has much more fundamental issues than משיח מן המתים.
I even proved this from the Rambam.
You claimed that according to the Rambam. The problem with Christianity is not מסית ומדיח, rather only that Yoshke was killed.
I said this is ridiculous, because according to the Rambam Yoshke was killed BY BEIS DIN! Was he killed for claiming to be Moshiach AFTER death!?!?
You responded with an irrelevant Rambam about בן כוזיבא which has nothing to do with why we reject Christianity according to the Rambam.
I am aware of the Ramban, and there is much to discuss about that, which I’m not getting into. This is why I asked you for your source in the Rambam, and you proved that you don’t have one.
