What is
the difference between the writings of the Talmudic Rabbis and the authors of
the New Testament, since they both claim to be inspired by God? Well at least
the Rabbis do, the New Testament gospel writers never claimed to be inspired by
God.
The authority of the Talmud is explained in
Pirkei Avot:
משֶׁה קִבֵּל תּוֹרָה מִסִּינַי, וּמְסָרָהּ לִיהוֹשֻׁעַ, וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ לִזְקֵנִים, וּזְקֵנִים לִנְבִיאִים, וּנְבִיאִים מְסָרוּהָ לְאַנְשֵׁי כְנֶסֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה. הֵם אָמְרוּ שְׁלשָׁה דְבָרִים, הֱווּ מְתוּנִים בַּדִּין, וְהַעֲמִידוּ תַלְמִידִים הַרְבֵּה, וַעֲשׂוּ סְיָג לַתּוֹרָה:
Moshe received the Torah from Sinai and
transmitted it to Yehoshua, and Yehoshua to the Elders, and the Elders to the
Prophets, and the Prophets transmitted it to the Men of the Great Assembly.
They said three things: Be deliberate in judgment, raise up many disciples and
make a fence for the Torah. -( Pirkei Avot 1:1)
The Torah also makes reference to Rabbis
having authority Deuteronomy 21:5. how comes Christians refuse to accept what the
Rabbis have to say, since they are inspired by God? Christians who claim the
New Testament authors were inspired fail to show us any hard evidence. Rather
they turn to what 2 Peter says
Above all, you must understand that no
prophecy of Scripture comes from the prophet’s own interpretation. For no
prophecy was everbrought about through human initiative, but menspoke from God
as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:20-21)
The
only problem with this is, 2 Peter is FORGED. So now they have nothing to show
that the authors of the New Testament were inspired unlike the Talmudic and
Torah sayings. We have no reason to believe these authors of the NT were
inspired by God and turning to 2 Peter only shows how unreliable their books
are
