Oh, here's one that I didn't see while editing a Noachide information site years ago. Maybe it will also be helpful.

Coming to a Realization of the Oral Torah

From AskNoah.org
"The following personal essay was submitted to the asknoah.org website by a former “Karaite” Noahide who came to the logical understanding that the Karaite doctrine is false. Be sure to see his video series at the bottom of this page."

If you want to have a serious discussion on the different movements within Judaism, more than happy to do so. Would be a wonderful break from what’s currently going on in this forum.

However, not the point of this thread. I am constantly asked by Christians this particular question regarding the KJV OT — that’s what the video is about. I specifically chose to link at the point in the video where this is discussed instead of right at the beginning where Gordon is explaining what a Karaite is so that we didn’t get into this discussion.

I don’t have issues with Noahides or the Noahide movement. I’m a Jew and I’m very supportive of people who recognize HaShem (again, I don’t hyphenate because even the JPS Tanakh doesn’t hyphenate and I use HaShem this out of respect for other Jews).

That said, Noahide isn’t Judaism. It’s a creation by the Chasidic movement for non-Jews. “Noahide Karaite” is an oxymoron, and made up by the author. He wants to make an argument for Oral Law, that’s fine for him. There are many Talmud opinions I agree with. If something in Talmud or Rashi’s commentary or the Zohar or whatever written by man disagrees with written Torah, I’m going to default to the written Torah.

Free will of the mind given to us by our Creator. You see this in different Jewish movements. You even see this in the different sects of Orthodox Judaism, like Open Orthodoxy and the Chasid sect that screams Torah, Sephardic and Ashkenazi. Then Karaites and Reconstructionist and Conservative. The Zionist Jews and the anti-Zionist Jews (shocker, I know, but there are definitely Orthodox who are anti-Zionist). The differences in opinion and practice don’t matter to me.

What does matter is that they are all Jews part of the Nation of Israel. Not just the physical state, but the NATION. A nation held together in spite of differences and overcoming every single odd thrown at them because there is one big common thread holding it all together: one God. ONE. And His Torah. The covenant stands through the ages and it will never be broken. No man can come between God and Jew.

‘Ekev 8.1 You shall faithfully observe all the Instruction that I enjoin upon you today, that you may thrive and increase and be able to possess the land that LORD promised on oat to your fathers.

This is constantly reinforced in the Torah and throughout the Tanakh.
