I’m referring to a passage in the Talmud, Bava Metzia 59b, which had a rabbi debating God, and said rabbi outright beating God in said debate, with God even blasphemously stating as much in that passage “He laughed [with joy], he replied, saying, ‘My sons have defeated Me, My sons have defeated Me.’”. The same passage said, and I quote, “Since God already gave the Torah to the Jewish people on Mt. Sinai we no longer pay attention to heavenly voices. God must submit to the decisions of a majority vote of the rabbis.” You can read it in full here:

Bear in mind that God, that is to say, God the Father, is omnipotent and omniscient. He literally cannot be beaten in a debate or restrained, forced to submit to a majority vote by ANYONE, let alone mortals such as rabbis. If anything, if one were to even enter a debate with God, it would result in God utterly wiping the floor with his opponent before the first question is even delivered, no winning against him. And when God loses in a debate to a mere mortal, that effectively implies God is dumb, at least dumber than that mortal.
Wow! you are knowledgeable. I would appreciate any suggestions from you on where to start about the Talmud and other learnings. either here or via personal message
How is that different from Matthew 18:18?
See Deut 30: 12
