Talmudic (rabbinic) Judaism was invented after Christ established the church and after the collapse of the Second Temple. So how could Christianity borrow anything from something that didn't even exist when it started? Modern rabbinic Judaism is a religion that was invented by the Pharisees-rabbis ( pseudo-priests) after the destruction of the Second Temple. The theology of modern Talmudic Judaism has nothing to do with Temple worship, Levitical sacrifice, and Davidic kingship. The theology of modern Jews is a theology invented by disgruntled rabbis at the end of the second century A.D. The theology of modern rabbinic Judaism is a theology of the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN according to the revelations of the Holy Spirit in Revelations 3:9. These rabbis invented thousands of new man-made variations to God's laws in the Torah. In the place of the Old Testament rituals these Talmudic pseudo-priests first codified hundreds of laws in the Mishna and then, over several hundred years, gave thousand of commentaries, interpretations, and falbes about these laws in the Gemara. Other rabbis added yet more opinions about these man-made laws in the Midrash,Haggada and Halacha(more variations for every day life). And later other rabbis added anecdotes traditons, fables and myths in the Sopher Yetzirah and Sopher Zohar (so-called book of lights). THIS IS THE THEOLOGY OF MODERN antichrist TALMUDIC JUDAISM AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TORAH-Temple RELIGION OF MOSES AND JESUS THAT GIVE RISE TO CHRISTIANITY. The religion of modern Talmudic Judaism is a religion of man-made laws superimposed on other man-made laws, superimposed upon other man-made laws, ad infinitum. Modern Talmudic Jews seek their salvation through the man-made rabbinical laws of the Talmud. The religion of Christianity is the religion of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Elijah, Jesus and the Apostles, a religion of righteousness through faith and not by the works of the law. Abraham received his righteousness through faith 435 years before the laws were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. So how could the promies and righteousness of Abraham be according to the law. The promises of God were given to Abraham by faith, not by the works of the law. The promises to Abraham were to his SEED Jesus Chrsit, not seeds as many as in genetics. Had the promises been to Abraham's genetic seeds as the modern Talmudic rabbis and Christian Zionists teach, then Ishmael and Keturah's children would have shared in the promises, but they didn't becacuse they were not of faith like Isaac. Isaac also had two genetic sons--the twins Jacob and Esau. Did they both partake of the promises of Abrahamthrough their genetics? No! Only Jacob had the faith of Abraham. Esau did not inherit the promises although he was of the same genetics as Jacob. Throughout the history of the ancient Israelite nation there was always only a remnant of that nation which had the faith of Abraham. In the days of Elijah, there were millions of ancient Israelites but God tells us in the Scriptures that only 7000 had the faith of Abraham. When Christ came, it was that remnant of the faith of Abraham among the Jews which received the Messiah and son of God. It was that remnant that Christ used to create the Christian Church, not the antichrist Pharisees and Jews who did not have the faith of Abraham, and consequently rejected Christ. The theology of those who rejected Jesus was the theology of Satan. So your contention that the modern Talmudic Jews contributed to Christianity in any way, shape or form is false and ahistorical. Righteousness and a clean conscience can only come through faith in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. Seeking the law of righteousness through the works of the law instead of through the faith of Jesus Christ is foolishness. Only through Jesus the Messiah can you find forgiveness of sins, peace, and reconciliation to God the father.
