The Written Torah and the Oral Torah are inseparable. There is total-dependence between them. The Oral Torah was recorded in formal written texts in the Talmudic and Midrashic writings. It includes the Mishnah, Talmud, works of Torah Law and so on.

So the "Oral" Torah is a man-made commentary on the Written Torah? Did Moses also write that or has it been written by Rabbis through the centuries and updated as time went on? Do you understand why that makes your traditions equal to the word of God? Over centuries these traditions have effectually ended up breaking and nullifying the commands of God. Jesus repeatedly brought that up with the Pharisees of his day - and they couldn't bear hearing it. That was one of the reasons they put him to death.

> You don’t have atonement for sin if there is no blood sacrifice.<<

That is not the Torah Law.

Then you don't know the Torah as well as you claim you do.

    A sin offering (Hebrew: קרבן חטאת‎ korban khatta'at, lit: "purification offering"[1]) is a sacrificial offering described and commanded in the Torah (Lev. 4.1-35); it could be fine flour or a proper animal.[2] A sin offering also occurs in 2 Chronicles 29:21 where seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats were sacrificed on the command of King Hezekiah for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Like all types of sacrifices offered on the altar, the flour had to be unscented and the animal had to be completely unblemished. This offered sacrifice accompanied the important required core means of atonement for the committing of an unintentional transgression of a prohibition, that either has brought guilt upon the 'community of Israel' or the individual.[3] This offering is brought during or after atonement for those transgressions that had been committed inadvertently, or in ignorance: intentional transgressions could only be absolved by other forms of atonement, or in severe cases kareth.[4][5] It was distinct from the biblical guilt offering.

    Chapters 4.1-5.13 of the Book of Leviticus presents the first of three speeches[10] of God to Moses that outlines laws concerning the "ḥata't" or purification offering.[11] Besides other types of offerings,[12] it appears in the 24th (weekly) parsha Vayikra, a section of the Torah in the Masoretic Text of the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) A sin offering also occurs in 2 Chronicles 29:21 where seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats were sacrificed on the command of King Hezekiah for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah.

    The end of the 37th weekly Torah portion Shlach Lecha (Lev. 15.22-31) again, deals with sacrifices for inadvertent violations: they are applicable for all laws, apply to both Israelites and alien residents, but exclude expiation of defiant, willful violations of ritual law (cf. Kareth). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin_offering

Moses received the entire Torah from G-d.

> Do you understand why that makes your traditions equal to the word of God?

The conclusions in the books of the Oral Torah are the Word of G-d, this being the Oral Torah that was given to Moses at Mount Sinai and transmitted by him to the nation, and thereafter passed on from generation to generation.

> Over centuries these traditions have effectually ended up breaking and nullifying the commands of God.

The Oral Torah is the explanation of the commandments.

Good.
