ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is the reason Messiah had to come, to put the “Talmud Terrorists” back in their closet of darkness where it belongs. All prophesy in Moses(Torah) tells us that this would happen, that the house of Judah would put up walls in order to keep the dispersed house of Israel from returning and that is the new covenant, to bring the 2 houses back under one roof so to speak. Judaism to this day will tell you that it is equivalent if not superior to the Torah but that is just plain blasphemy. While there is much one can gleam from the Talmud as far as history of Temple service and prayer, the oral law they use to put a fence around their religion in order to discourage gentiles is from man, not from the Holy Spirit. They even admit it(Talmud) is not quote the “inspired” word of YHVH.
There were 2 sects of Judaism at odds with each other during the time of Messiah, the house of Hillel and the house of Shammai. Messiah and his followers were of the house of Hillel. The “Talmud Terrorists” were of the house of Shammai that had put in place “18 Edicts” as well as the physical 3 foot wall of separation in the temple to keep their brethren of the hosue of Israel from gaining full access to the temple. They considered them lower class and did everything they could to discourage them from returning back to the covenant after the dispersion.
Bizarre, personal version of the history of Judaism!
Both the House of Hillel and Shammai were Talmudists, and both are still cited in discussions.
