“How could Jesus “denounce the authors of the Talmud as liars and hypocrites””
I didn’t mean the literal authors, but the schools of thought which gave birth to the authors of the Talmud. Modern Rabbinic Judaism is clearly descended from the same groups that he grappled with in his day.
Maybe I can help clarify that a bit. You are correct in that Judaism has not changed ...We cannot. It needs to be understood that we were commanded by G-D to follow the Torah, and to perform the 613 Mitzvot. When G-D made the sacred Covenant with us, HE stated that it was never-ending and forever, even when we “misbehaved”. And, HE does keep his word on that- the fact that we, as a people, have survived what we have, and are returning to Israel, is testament enough to this.
When G-D gave us the Torah, He commanded us to follow it forever. And when you have G-D coming to you, directly, and doing things like the 10 plagues, the parting of the Sea, the destruction of the Egyptian army, appearing to 1 million in the Sinai and teaching them a prayer, providing Mana, giving us Torah, and then over 2,000 years of miracles, and prophecies that have taken place to ensure your survival, you are not about to change, let alone want to....You follow Torah. .Who argues with G-D????
That being said, Jesus may have grappled with the Rabbis back then, but Jesus was also a Rabbi, kept Kosher, and followed Torah. The Last Supper was a Seder for Pesach ( Passover). He just taught a different aspect of it. But he still followed Torah. He did not change it, he taught an aspect of it, not unlike Rabbi Hillel’s school of thought.
If you were to get a copy of the Torah that is properly translated, and study it, I think you will find that Rabbinic Judaism, is the Judaism of the Torah, and with few differences, very much what Jesus taught.
