I wondered what the Talmud was so I got a copy and asked for a definition. It is the most boring book I ever got hold of, but what I read, and how it is explained to me, is that it is a book telling of ways to obey what scripture says, because scripture is rather vague about many directions. For instance pages and pages of what I read was man's ideas of what scripture means by not working on Sabbath. That would say that it is a book about how some men think the scriptures are like our commentaries. It would be like someone accusing us of following Matthew Henry instead of scripture.
Are you sure that Jews all follow only man and not scripture?

I did not say ALL JEWS brother Red.
Have you actually read any of the Talmud itself? They admit in it they do NOT LISTEN TO YAHWEH:
(I made a thread about the Talmud, I will post a link at the bottom of this post if you want to check it out)
Talmud - Mas. Baba Metzia 59b
But R. Joshua arose and exclaimed: ‘
It is not in heaven.’4 What did he mean by this? — Said R. Jeremiah: That the Torah had already been given at Mount Sinai;
we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice, because Thou hast long since written in the Torah at Mount Sinai,
After the majority must one incline.
Mattithyah 15:2-3, "Why do Your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat. But He answered, and said to them:
And why do you transgress the Laws of Yahweh by your traditions?"
Talmud - Mas. Yoma 39b
His brethren [that year]
the priests forbore to mention the Ineffable Name in pronouncing the [priestly] blessing.4 Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot [‘For the Lord’] did not come up in the right hand;
nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white
Numbers 6:23-27, "Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying; This is how you are to bless the children of Israyl. Say to them; YAHWEH BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU. YAHWEH MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU AND BE MERCIFUL TO YOU. YAHWEH LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU, AND GIVE YOU PEACE. So they will put MY NAME on the children of Israyl, and I will bless them."
This is the Command that the "
priests forbore " , all supposedly because that "Rabbi" said, "
but perhaps that is not so." Note "
nor did the crimson-coloured strap b ecome white," this was the sign that thier sins were forgiven.
Also the Talmud RECORDS that after they killed Yahshua, from that time until the destruction of the House of Y ahweh (Solomon's Temple) the crimson colored strap NEVER turned white again.
Shem Tob's Hebrew Mattithyah
Mattithyah 23:2-3, "The Pharisees and Sages sit upon the seat of Mosheh.
Therefore, all that he (Mosheh) says to you, diligently do, but according to thier takanot (reforms) and thier ma'asim (precedents) do not do, because they talk (Torah) but they do not do."
Takanot: reforms or enactments that (falsely) "change or add" to Yahweh's Law.
Ma'asim: acts or deeds that serve as precedents for rabbinic law.
Both Takanot and Ma'asim are laws of the Talmud.
THIS IS THE BURDEN!
Deuteronomy 4:2, "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor shall you take anything from it, so that you may keep the Laws of Yahweh your Father which I command you."
The "rabbis" interpret Scripture by something called Midrashic interpretation, which ignores language and ignores context. They say Scripture is a divne code and only the rabbis have the knowledge to decipher that divine code. Here is an ACTUAL example of Midrashic interpretation used by the rabbis:
They take Exodus 23:2, "
Do not follow the crowd in doing evil. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd."
After Midrashic interpretation is applied, they come out with : "
follow the crowd."
Thus even when one disagrees or knows something is wrong he must, "follow the crowd," or as the Talmud puts it in Baba Metzia 59b "after the majority must one incline."
Talmud - Mas. Baba Metzia 59b
But R. Joshua arose and exclaimed: ‘It is not in heaven.’4 What did he mean by this? — Said R. Jeremiah: That the Torah had already been given at Mount Sinai;
we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice, because Thou hast long since written in the Torah at Mount Sinai,
After the majority must one incline.
Deuteronomy 30:11-13, "For this Law which I command you this day is not hidden from you,
nor is it beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask; Who will ascend up into heaven for us, and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and then do it? Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask; Who will cross the sea, and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and then do it?"
After Midrashic interpretation is applied, they come out with : "‘
It is not in heaven.’4 What did he mean by this? — Said R. Jeremiah: That the Torah had already been given at Mount Sinai;
we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice" (Baba Metzia 59b)
This is 1 example of the EVIL it gets WAY worse
Talmud Moed Kattan 17a
Rabbi Ila'i said:
If a person is tempted to do evil he should go to a city where he is not known, dress in black clothes, cover his head in black, and do what his heart desires.
This first video is from a FORMER modern Pharisee, and he can shed more light and details on the topic than I can as he GREW UP IN THIS TEACHING, but is in it no longer.
