Jeremiah 16:19 O Lord, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail!

Zechariah 8:23 So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."

I have not really read the books of Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Cordevero (Ramak) but according to a footnote of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan in Handbook of Jewish Thought, Rabbi Moshe Cordevero agrees with the Rambam's definition of G-d, and interprets the ten Sephirot of Kabbala in a way that does not contradict Rambam's principles. See chapter 2 section 11 footnotes  12 and 13.
The laws against Lashon Hara as well as our general respect for Torah scholars, requires us to look for every possible way to judge our great Torah scholars as having acted properly and believed the proper beliefs.
