FB user asked: You don’t believe in the Talmud?
You are correct, No Talmud, No Mishna and No Gemara; (these make up the Oral Tradition, are are placed above the Written Torah for authority and adherence.)
I can not give credence to those that believe they know better what THE LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL said than MOSES, with whom we are told:
“Numbers 12:
6 And He said: ‘Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house;
8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?'”
That was the sedition of Miraim and Aaron against Moses. The LORD Stopped that event.
Closer to what we do with the Five Books of Moses, by declaring that we are as good or better than Moses, which is a repeat of the Story of Korah(Numbers 16), which was a military type take over from Moses and Aaron, ending in a disaster.
If The LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL says Moses Knows, then if Moses is wrong, GOD already said it is OKAY.(I have never found Moses to be wrong, only my initial understanding was wrong.)
We have had more that 3,000 years of punishments, I am tired of getting punished, so I will just do what HE(The LORD) says to do and trust HIM. We have lots of HISTORY, Proof that the WORD is true.
I personally do not want to go through the last events of punishment(Last Day), so I will trust the ALMIGHTY, and pray that others might also.
