Israel Moments | What is the Talmud

Israel Moment #37 - What is the Talmud
-
Hello this is Pastor Steven Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe Arizona. Today I want to talk about Mark chapter 7, verses 3 through 9. And I want to explain to you about a book called the Talmud, that is the "holy book" of the Jews. A lot of people think that the Jews believe in the Old Testament... Really, their religion is not based on the Old Testament. There are so many things in the Old Testament that actually contradict what they believe. They actually follow a different book called the Talmud. Now these false teachings that go against Old Testament scripture were already in existence at the time of Christ. In Mark 7, we find Jesus rebuking these "oral traditions" that would later be written down around 500 years later in the Talmud. But they already were being taught as early as around 200 BC. Listen to what it says in Mark 7:3.

"For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables." These are all things that are later going to be written down in the TALMUD, and they're already being observed by all the Jews at this time. "Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

And this is exactly what Judaism is today, it's a religion that rejects the commandments of God, rejects the Old Testament scripture, CLAIMS to believe in it, draws nigh unto the Lord with their lips, but their heart is far from Him. Sure they claim to believe the Old Testament, but it's just like it was in Jesus' day, the Pharisees who wrote the Talmud, and the Pharisees today who call themselves orthodox Jews... They don't really believe in it, they have their OWN tradition, and to them that trumps the word of God. That's what the Talmud is. All the Talmud is, is a written version of what Jesus was speaking against here in Mark chapter 7. These "oral traditions of the elders" that were passed down. Later they were written down in the Talmud, in the Mishna. But, it's the same garbage that Jesus was rebuking, that makes void the commandment of God.
