Which Torah? Written Torah or Oral Torah?

In Judaism the “Oral Torah” (Talmud, Kabbala, etc.) supercedes the Word of God, the “Written Torah.” The Jews claim to defeat, command, and confuse God.

These man-made oral traditions were committed to writing, first as the Mishnah in the  Tannaitic era after the Crucifixion of Our Lord, then additional commentary in Aramaic was added as the Gemara during the Amoraim era (roughly 300-450 A.D.). In Judaism, the man-made opinions in this “Oral Torah” supersede the Word of God in the Written Torah (Bava Metzia 59b); Aggadah (non-legalistic folklore and fables) and Haggadah (the talmudic, hence anti-Biblical, liturgy for Passover); Responsa, including the latest rabbinical opinions; the rabbis themselves; and the totemic scroll paraded about in the synagogue.   Most (uninformed) Catholics think that “Torah” means the Pentateuch, but that is not so. When the rabbis want to refer to the Pentateuch, they call it “Torah Mosheh” or by the acronym “Tanakh.” Almost always when the rabbis refer to “Torah” without qualification, they are referring to the “Oral Torah” (Talmud and Kabbala).   True support from the Old Testament would lend legitimacy to rabbinical opinions, but a reference to the man-made traditions damned by Jesus (Mark 7:8-9)  de-legitimizes the rabbis opinions in the eyes of Catholics. The rabbis are happy to let listeners mistakenly think the rabbis are claiming wise support from the Old Testament for their diabolical opinions, support that just is not there.   So, in the parlance of Judaism, it is 100% correct to refer to the Talmud as “Torah,” but that is not the Old Testament Word of God. To understand Judaism you must understand how the megalomaniacal rabbis have nullified the Word of God—by switching their “Oral” Torah for the actual Written Torah.   “…the time has come to shatter the myth and explicitly address the most open secret which we all have known for a while now – Haredi [Orthodox] education in its various yeshivas only focuses on one thing, while creating ignorant students on every other front. An important clarification: I am not referring, like secular critics, to the Haredi disregard for subjects such as math, science, English literature, etc…This is a different problem.   “The issue I have is with the fact that the vast majority of yeshivas only teach Talmud and related questions and answers. That’s it.   “What about the Bible? I am not disparaging, Heaven forbid, the importance of the Talmud. Yet for once let’s talk about the religious people who strictly adhere to the mitzvahs (blessed deeds), yet are unfamiliar with the Bible…And this is not an anomaly – this is the norm. The only Biblical verses familiar to yeshiva students are those quoted by Talmud sages, and that’s that. The Bible is seen as a sort of inferior genre that is appropriate for young children (or for women)…” Time to face haredi secret by Efrat Shapira-Rosenberg, Ynet News, February 10, 2010 https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3846637,00.html   This highlights another rabbinical deception, a deception that has completely gulled “evangelicals.”   By the time of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, True God and True Man, there was no complete “Hebrew Bible.” Many of the authentic Hebrew texts had been lost. The only complete Old Testament was in Greek, the Septuagint, a completely authentic text authorized and translated by the official Jewish Court, the Sanhedrin, in about 250 B.C.   The much-vaunted “Hebrew Bible” is  a fraud  perpetrated by the Masoretes and was not completed until about 1000 A.D. Sure it is in Hebrew, but it is not original, not authentic.   The mere mention of “Hebrew” is supposed to convince you that the texts are ancient and authentic, but the Masoretic texts are a bowdlerized post-Christian reaction against Jesus Christ, edited to dethrone Him and blaspheme His Mother. A salient example of their agenda is the Masoretes’ substitution of “almah” (young girl) in Isaias 7:14 instead of the original “virgin.” The children of the Father of Lies and Murder at work. Many more details exposing the fraud are found in the Big Lies page on this site.   The Babylonian Talmud (Bavli) is divided into topical sections (seder) that are subdivided into chapters (tractates) with facing pages (folio) designated “a” or “b.”   The topical sections are:   Seder Zeraim (agriculture) Seder Moed (holidays) Seder Nashim (family law) Seder Nezikin (damages) Seder Kodashim (sacrifices) Seder Tahorot (purity) Minor tractates (various)     ​   ​   There are five main parts of a folio (page) of the Talmud:   1. Mishnah •  מִשְׁנָה‎  • “study by repetition” 3rd century A.D., the Tannaitic era   The man-made  “traditions” (baraita) of the Pharisees were damned by Jesus for “making void the Commandments of God” (Mark 7:7-9). Those damned traditions were eventually compiled in written form as the Mishnah of the Talmud.   2. Gemara • גמרא • “completion” 4-5th centuries A.D., the Amoraim era   Further elaboration of the Mishnaic traditions. The Gemara is written in Aramaic and lacks punctuation.  There are two versions: The Jerusalem or Palestinian Talmud (Talmud Yerushalmi) and the Babylonian Talmud (Talmud Bavli).   3. Rashi • רש”י • an acronym for Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki: רבי שלמה יצחקי 11th Century A.D.   Commentary on the fraudulent  post-Christian and anti-Christian Masoretic Texts, the so-called “Hebrew Bible,” and the derivative Talmud. Rashi’s commentaries depart ever further from the plain meaning (pshat) to exegetical extrapolations (drash) that nullify the unmistakeable Word of God. Rashi’s words are usually rendered in a Sephardic cursive font known as Rashi script, ketav Rashi (כתב רש”י), and always appear on the inside margin of the folio.   4. Tosafot •  תוספות‎   • “additions” 12-13th centuries A.D.   Commentaries  printed, in almost all Talmud editions, on the outer margin and opposite Rashi’s notes. “Tosephta is the name of compilation of halakhic-haggadic character, which judged by its contents belongs essentially to the era of the Tanna’im (Teachers), and which is modeled on the plan of the Mishna” https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14788a.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosefta   5. Tractates and Folios The Talmud has six topical volumes that are further divided into 63 tractates (chapters). The first folio (page) of a tractate will be named “a” and the facing page will be “b.” Chapter names are taken from the first word of the Mishnah shown in large font in an illustrated box.   Judaism teaches that their Talmud and Kabbalah (Oral Torah, Torah she beal peh,  תורה שבעל פה) supersede the Word of God (Written Torah, Torah she bich tav,  תורה שבכתב‎ ). The rabbis boast that they “defeat” God (Bava Metzia 59b). ​     chazal • “the sages”   Chazal or Ḥazal (Hebrew: חז״ל), an acronym for the Hebrew "Ḥakhameinu Zikhronam Liv'rakha" (חכמינו זכרונם לברכה‎, "Our Sages, may their memory be blessed"), refers to all Jewish sages of the Mishna, Tosefta and Talmud eras, spanning from the times of the final 300 years of the Second Temple of Jerusalem until the 7th century CE, or c. 250 BCE – c. 625 CE.   Rabbinical eras; eras of the Halakha   ​   Chazal are generally divided according to their era and the main writing done in that era:[1]   Soferim (“scribes”): Sages from before the era of Ezra the scribe until the Zugot era, including the men of the Great Assembly.["אנציקלופדיה יהודית דעת - תורה שבעל פה - תקופות" https://www.daat.ac.il/encyclopedia/value.asp?id1=3917] This era stretches from the Matan Torah (“giving of the Law”; Moses receiving the Torah on Biblical Mount Sinai), to the Halakha ("traditions") era, including the times of Simeon the Just. Zugot (“pairs”): Five pairs (zugot) of sages from consecutive generations, who lived during a period of around 100 years towards the end of the Second Temple era. (142 BCE – ca. 40 BCE) Tannaim (“teachers”): Refers to the sages of the Mishnah, who lived in the Land of Israel until 220 CE. In addition to the Mishnah, their writings were preserved in the Midrash. Key figures among the Tannaim include Hillel the Elder, Rabbi Akiva, and Judah haNasi. Amoraim (“expounders”): Refers to the sages of the Talmud who were active during the end of the era of the sealing of the Mishnah, and until the times of the sealing of the Talmud (220 CE – 500 CE). The Amoraim sages were active in two areas, the Land of Israel, and Babylon. In addition to the Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud [also known as the Palestinian Talmud], their writings were preserved in midrashs such as Midrash Rabba. Savoraim (“reasoners”): Refers to the sages of Beth midrash (Torah study places) in Babylon from the end of the era of the Amoraim (5th century) and until the beginning of the era of the Geonim (from the end of the 6th century or the midst of the 7th century).   chazal’s authority   Until the end of the Savoraim era, Chazal had the authority to comment on the Torah according to the Talmudical hermeneutics standards required by the Law given to Moses at Sinai,["הלכה למשה מסיני" https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%9B%D7%94_%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%94_%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%99] sometimes even expounding a word or phrase outside its plain and ordinary sense. Nowadays in Orthodoxy, this authority is not delegated to the current generation's sages, and thus the Torah can not be commentated on, in matters concerning the halakha (“Jewish Law”), if it contradicts Chazal’s commentary.   Until the middle of the Tannaim era, when there was a Sanhedrin (a High Court of Jewish law), Chazal had also the authority to decree restrictions and to enact new religious regulations, in any matter they saw fit, concerning issues that were not included in the written Torah, or were not delivered at Mount Sinai. These rabbinical mitzvot (“commandments”) include the holidays of Purim and Hanukkah, the laws of muktzeh (“set-aside items”) on Shabbat, the ritual washing of one's hands (netilat yadayim) before eating bread, the construction of eruvim (liminal gateways [see also: eruv  the magic wire]), and the institution of the current schedule of daily prayer services – shacharit (morning prayer), mincha (afternoon prayer), and ma'ariv (evening prayer).   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chazal   ​   sanitizing the vernacular editions of the Talmud   For a millennium following Christ, Christians mistakenly believed that Jews were just people of the Old Testament who had rejected and murdered their Messiah. That bubble of innocence burst when sincere converts from Judaism revealed the foundational teachings of Judaism. Those shocking revelations—the non-human status of Gentiles, genocidal and other imprecations against Christians, blasphemies, perversions, and megalomaniacal presumptions—warranted confirmation. Due to the revelations of sincere converts such as Nicholas Donin, St. Vincent Ferrer, Jerónimo de Santa Fe, Johannes (Josef) Pfefferkorn, et al., further investigations were ordered, including the Disputations of Paris (1240 A.D.) and Tortosa (1413-1414 A.D.). Having no serious defense against the substantiated accusations, the rabbis involved slinked away humiliated.   ​ Disputation between Jewish and Christian scholars. Johann von Armssheim, 1483. Woodcut   You are invited to examine the usual hasbara excuses about the Disputations in Jewish-owned Wikipedia and elsewhere, but suffice it to say that the rabbis have spent the centuries since the Disputations contriving a defense, but not an honest defense, only denial and concealment.   In the centuries since the Disputations, the rabbis have invested much effort in sanitizing and expurgating vernacular translations of the Talmud. When confronted with the evidence, the Jews have tried many tricks to explain away and conceal their supremacist, genocidal, perverse, and blasphemous creed. These sanitized editions are useful to the rabbis: “See it’s not there.” Or “The tractate is about ‘Balaam.’” In the sanitized Talmud editions numerous code word substitutions are used for Christians (min, Cuthean, Egyptian, Epicurean, etc.) and Jesus of Nazareth (“that man,” “the carpenter,” “Balaam,” “ben Pandera, a reference to the Talmud’s teaching that Jesus was the bastard of a whore who committed adultery with a Roman soldier named Pandera, and even blank spaces).   Consider this representative example from the online Davidson Talmud English edition.   You may already be familiar with the genocidal talmudic imprecation: “Kill the best of the gentiles…” from Soferim 15(10). https://www.sefaria.org/Tractate_Soferim.15.10?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en   Note the softened English translation of Soferim 15(10): “Kill the best of the heathens…”   What English speaker would bristle at killing “heathens”?   Here's the rub. The word for “gentiles” is the same as the word for “heathens”: גויים (goyim).   You can hear it properly pronounced here: https://forvo.com/word/%D7%92%D7%95%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D/   You can also compare the written forms:   ​     Note a similarly spelled word: בנים (benim) that translates as “boys” and, as you would expect, has a different, though similar pronunciation: https://forvo.com/word/%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%9D/#he   Now examine Soferim 15(10) in the online Davidson Talmud English translation. The Hebrew word for “gentiles” is substituted by the Hebrew word for “boys” but the printed word is not  translated into English as“boys” and the translation uses the muted “heathens” to avoid indicating that non-Jews (gentiles, goyim) are the ones to be killed.   ​ https://www.sefaria.org/Tractate_Soferim.15.10?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en   A feature of the Sefaria website—you can click on a Hebrew word to obtain a pop-up definition. When you click on the word for “boys, sons,” you get this result:   ​   Give us a break! The word for ‘boy, son” (singular ben, plural benim) is so common that it is used in names like David ben Gurion (an early Zionist terrorist), but Sefaria can find “no definition” for such a common word.   To be sure, there are rare instances of frank translations. For example, consider this discussion of Maimonides teaching on Soferim 15(10) in his Mishneh Torah. Chabad presented the discussion on their website, but, when it captured the attention of Gentiles, the page was deleted, archived only on screen captures.   ​   ​   Chabad is faithfully transmitting the authentic teaching of Soferim 15(10) in the Talmud as explained by Maimonides in his Mishneh Torah. The Davidson edition of the Talmud softens and conceals the teaching.     The gravamen of all this esoterica is simple:   Nothing the rabbis claim or deny can be taken at face value. Their every utterance must be examined with diligent skepticism.   Code words, word substitutions, deletions, blank spaces, and ambiguous footnotes have all been used to hide what sincere converts have revealed about the supremacist, genocidal, malevolent, perverse, and blasphemous tenets of Judaism.   ​   Judaism is anti-Biblical   “My son, be careful to fulfill the words of the Sages [sofarim] even more than the words of the Torah.” Eruvin 21b (Davidson edition)     ​ https://www.sefaria.org/Eruvin.21b.8?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en   “This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians - that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is, of course, a fallacious impression. Judaism is not the religion of the Bible.” Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser, Judaism and the Christian Predicament, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967, p.59, 159   “The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees. Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single member of that literature, and round it are gathered a number of Midrashim, partly legal (Halachic) and partly works of edification (Haggadic). This literature, in its oldest elements, goes back to a time before the beginning of the Common Era, and comes down into the Middle Ages. Through it all run the lines of thought which were first drawn by the Pharisees, and the study of it is essential for any real understanding of Pharisaism.” Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 pg. 474   “Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became
