Heretic's Guide to the Talmud

foreign Judaism different from Old Testament Judaism uh well there is no such thing as uh uh Old Testament Judaism and tommuli Judaism there is Judaism that's it the written the oral Torah are one they're not two of the different now the what the problem is what the Christian missionaries uh that sometimes call themselves Messianic Jews or or Hebrew Israelites or uh the uh the uh people from Islam will sometimes tell you things about the uh the Rin Torah and uh things about the oral to line in order to confuse you and mislead you but what they don't tell you is that there would be no religion at all not Judaism not Christianity and not Islam without the oral Torah which the primary part of the oral tour is the talmud and the reason why is because part of what the oral Torah does is it gives us a understanding of what the oral what the rintua actually says the Old Testament actually says so for example in the Book of Genesis God says to avam to have a circumcision to cut something called hola now what is Allah now there you're not going to find this word many times in a Torah and in fact you're never going to find a verse that gives you the definition for the word Hola so if God says cut this Allah from your body the average male do you tell them listen God loves you but he says that in order for you to show your love to him your commitment you have to cut a piece of your body called hola now you're going to ask the first question if you're a smart person you say okay what's an Allah now if you're even smarter you're gonna not gonna ask you're going to Simply determine since they didn't tell me what the hola is I'll just determine what the hola is so maybe it's a piece of my ear you know cut off a little earlobe much easier than circumcision maybe it's the nails I cut off a nail much easier than even the earlobe maybe it's a uh you know it's a hair maybe you know what you could just simply decide obviously if avram avinu understood that the is the foreskin on the male member the most sensitive part of the body and he's still willing to do it at the age of a hundred and then commit this very same act for the next four thousand years until this day every Jewish baby that's born on the eighth day unless they're medically unable to because they're sick or they're weak on the eighth day they have the very same circumcision that of ram avino had at 100 years old why did anybody reject it why didn't anybody throughout the last four thousand years say you know what I think hola means something else it maybe means the nails maybe it means the beard maybe means the nose maybe means a tooth anything but the foreskin but nobody ever said that everyone agreed including the Christians including the Muslims has always been the foreskin where did you get the definition it's not in the written to us not in the Old Testament where did you get it from the oral to La the oral to lies what gives us that the same exact thing is in every other aspect of it so much so that the vowel system is not part of the of the written meaning if you read if you go to a a synagogue the synagogue every synagogue has multiple Torah Scrolls you open a Taurus scroll all Taurus calls are going to show you the same exact thing it's going to be Black Ink on a uh uh a parchment that's white and the words don't have the dots the dashes don't have beginning or ending of statements there's no sentences that are like structure of English and other languages there's no vowel systems no punctuation system on the Torah scroll so how do you know where the sentence ends or where it begins or even how to pronounce the word or what the word means because in English you have a letter based vowel system AEI or U and sometimes y but in Hebrew there is no letters that are the vowel system rather there is the dots that you have under or inside the letters or the dashes this is called nikud this is not part of the written TOA this is something that is taught to us in the oral to love which means that without it you simply would not have the ability to understand a single verse [Music]
