RDMD1, I am not as educated as you. 😀 I had heard the word Talmud before, but I had to look it up. I guess it means the traditions of thousands of rabbis. I suspect there are many things of value in it, for living a better life. On the other hand, I totally, completely, absolutely reject it, as being inspired by God. Now, we all know that Jesus of Nazareth is God in human form. It is my opinion that He will either save people from the lake of fire, or put them in it.
I think Jesus of Nazareth rejected it, not because there is no good in it, but because there is no good in it that can please God. No one lives up to it. Jesus himself said in Matthew 15:8-9, This people honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me but in vain do they worship me. teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. I wonder if Jesus of Nazareth has the same opinion of these present day Pharisees, that He had of the Pharisees of His day? I think He was always angry with them, and called them hypocrites and snakes. Not exactly nice terms.
I have never seen the Nazi word thrown around, as much as I have seen it used on this thread. Frankly, it's garbage, and once they use it, they forfeit any chance of being taken seriously.
All we can do, is expose them to Jesus of Nazareth, just like they think they are exposing us to Pharisaic doctrine. Unfortunately, most of them, just like most of the world, will stand before Jesus, as their judge. I think He will be a tad bit angry with them, but that's on them. I am sorry for that, but it doesn't have to be that way.
