shalom, I do not know where you get the idea that the writers of the Talmud were not Jews, it is a ridiculous assertion. Instead of researching the few citations in the Talmud were there might be doubt cast on the origins of Jesus, you should look at the totality of the Talmud, not the less then .001%, off handedly, trying to elucidate the origins of Jesus, Mary's virtues and Christianity. The Talmud has a grand total of 35 (about 700 words total) citations which, for Christians, can be considered "Blasphemous" against Jesus, Mary and to Christianity, this out of a totality of close to 2.5 million words.
A noted Scholar of the Talmud who converted to Catholicism due to, shall we say, "political differences" with his Jewish brothers, assembled these in 1240, in Paris (Nicholas Donin) as the base of a trial against the Talmud resulting in the burning of 24 cartloads of talmudic writings in 1242. Mind you, the same Donin was also responsible, apparently, for the reignition of the "blood libel" against Jewry. Interestingly, this convert was later (1287) indicted by the Franciscans for not being "Christian enough". Who that laugh last ...".
The Talmud discuss in much greater details the prohibition of consuming blood (from permitted animals) then Jesus, Mary and Christianity combined. Every time you eat a "rare steak", you violate this basic tenet of the Bible and actually participate in a pagan ritual. Think about that for a minute, before you criticize the Talmud and its hundreds of Jewish contributors.
