My point is that the views of the rabbis are not unanimous as is sometimes suggested. Different teachers offer different interpretations, and if one reads the rabbinical writings, they will find some ideas that look Christian.

And no, I don't view any commentary as authoritative, whether Hebrew or Christian. I consider the scriptures to be authoritative, and I make sure to read the Tanach (JPS) to compare that translation to the one I normally read.

The only person who would suggest that the views of the sages were unanimous would be someone completely unfamiliar with the Talmud. Indeed, the Talmud largely consists of the record of disputes among the sages regarding matters of interpretation and halakhah.

Another reason to disbelieve the Gospels. In the Gospels, the rabbis are portrayed as monolithic.
