These beliefs correspond with those I was taught. But of course, Orthodox Jews hold other religious beliefs, and adhere to the Talmud.
"The Talmud (?????) is a record of rabbinic discussions of Jewish law, ethics, customs, and stories, which are authoritative in Jewish tradition. It is the fundamental source for rabbinic legislation and case law. The Talmud has two components: the Mishnah, which is the first written compendium of Judaism's Oral Law; and the Gemara, a discussion of the Mishnah (though the terms Talmud and Gemara are often used interchangeably). While arranged as comments on the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings, the Gemara often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Tanakh. The Gemara is the basis for all codes of rabbinic law and is much quoted in other rabbinic literature. The Talmud, including the Gemara, is traditionally also referred to as Shas (a Hebrew abbreviation of shishah sedarim, the "six orders" of the Mishnah)."

I don't want to get in over my head here, but obviously, Jews reject the New Testament, reject Jesus as Saviour and Messiah, and so therefore, there is a great chasm between the Jews and Christians. Arguments have no effect, you can't put a square peg in a round hole, as it is simply a matter of faith. |
