So wait, the Talmud is the opinion of thousands of famous rabbis (R. Eleazar, R. Akiva, R. Yochanan, etc.) but the Gospels are the opinion of one rabbi (Jesus)? Well I guess the New Testament as a whole also has the writings of Paul and others, and Paul was also a Pharisee. But he's never called rabbi so idk if he counts but he was aquatinted with their circles. Jesus is explicitly called a rabbi though. Either way, both the Talmud and the New Testament are commentaries on the Tanakh or expansions and elaborations about its laws. One just happens to be the central text of Rabbinic Judaism, the other of Christianity.
The New Testament is the word of God, the Talmud is the word of men.
>>17970373Nobody takes your polemics seriously.
Interesting still is the fact that the Mishnah is almost exactly contemporary with the Gospels.
>>17970402What made you think I care about the opinions of men?
>>17970370Didn't jibnus say call no man rabbi ? ? ?
>>17970370Christianity, Gnosticism, and Rabbinic Judaism are all apart of the same exact Jewish Reformist and Monotheist movement in the Roman World from the 1st to 3rd centuries, and all 3 are just attempts to standardize a monotheistic spiritual framework under the guise of codifying what was then just Judean Folk Religion.
>>17970373I can't wait to see you cry out in pain as יהוה eternally condemns you to burn in גיהנום for worshiping Rabbi ישוע instead of him alone. לא יהיה לך אלוהים אחרים על פני.
>>17970537>standardize a monotheistic spiritual frameworkwut dat meanchristianity took over because it was a humanistic technological philosophical innovation. You see, the simplest forms of religion are ancestor worship, record keeping and respect for elders. Then you get heroic religion, warrior gods and eternal struggle. Life is expressed as a cycle. In that world, might makes right. If someone dies in battle they weren't favored by the gods. This is chuds favorite religion, nazi battle religion, philosophically it's archaic. It cannot achieve a worldly separation between church and tyrant. Old religion can serve power, or throw up its hands and say the gods are deaf. It cannot exist in-between. There Christ makes a dynamic entry. The Pharisees and Saducees were society's supreme authorities and the masses needed an outlet for their ... ease. Messianic religion was a breakthrough because it took God out of the hands of the church-state and gave it back to the people. It revolutionized participation the same way the French revolution did. In both cases, priests of the old class decried the end of the world and the death of knowledge, but it was inevitable with population growth. The ability of a central authority to be right all the time was severely strained even in biblical times, when the decisions all involved sheep or grain.
Jews are a bunch of inbred Italian cultists from the Middle Ages they are not ancient Palestinians.
>>17970575>wut dat meanWhat I mean is that if you actually look at the founding of these 3 religions you'll see that their founders were all scholars in overglorified book clubs. Abrahamic Monotheism was to the Ancient Romans what Deism was to Enlightenment era America and France
>>17970582only Pajeets say Abrahamic
>>17970582>Abrahamic Monotheism was to the Ancient Romans what Deism was to Enlightenment era America and Francecutting edge philosophy?
>>17970588I never implied otherwise
>>17970575>This is chuds favorite religion, nazi battle religion, philosophically it's archaicaccording to Varg it's true white people's religion and that the Greco-Roman philosophical schools are an alien way of thinking
>>17970603I think they're both in the same position relative to christianity. Neither can explain why the mighty are laid low and the weak grow up to be strong, beyond "muh cycle". Both treat God as a synonym for power and greatness, it would be unthinkable to conflate Zeus with a beggar unless he were disguising himself as a joke. Christianity puts the sin and the redemption of man front and center.
By this time Jews and other religions were certain God was way above human affairs, but they also knew He still had rules about murder and so forth. What they lacked was a way to reconcile the two. How is God human oriented but not tied to a specific regime? Christ answered the call.
>>17970468The fact that you worship a man, mostly.
