Summary
It is commonly assumed that Christianity rests upon the foundation of Judaism. Douglas Murray, best-selling author of The War on the West, recently commented: “Western civilization could not survive the destruction of the Jewish state, because it would be, among much else, the cutting away of the whole tree we're on. Western civilization would die.” It is reasoned that since the Old Testament forms the bedrock that the New Testament and Christ rest on, it would be impossible to do away with Judaism without also threatening the moral, legal, and theological edifice that the Christian West rests upon.
But inherent in this assumption is a failure to distinguish what Judaism actually is. Judaism is not just Old Testament only, as if they are only working with the same scriptures and laws that David and the prophets had. Rather, in less than a millennium from the giving of the Law at Sinai, a rabbinic tradition began to develop that cut away at the commands, worship, and reverence due to God. It replaced mercy with loopholes, God’s authority with man’s tradition, and instead of faith, a convoluted legal system meant to trick God in their favor. By the time of Jesus’s ministry, 1500 years removed from the giving of the law, barely anything resembling true religion and worship remained.
So today we are unpacking the source of these rabbinic teachings: The Talmud. What does it say? What does it teach? What relation does it have to the lives of the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Moses?
