Every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of Heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.
- Matthew 13:52
Part VIII. Christian Animosity of the Talmud
Why was the Talmud burned? Because sometimes self-opportunists will use hatred and violence to advance further in their careers, whether they are a Priest or a Prince, a Bishop or a King. The fact remains that the sexual morality expressed throughout the Talmud makes even the most puritanical Christian doctrines look tame. In short, the Jews, both then and now, are a sexually modest and normal group of people who have, indeed, seen it all throughout the centuries, but have not approved of very much of what they have seen. Judgmental? No. Understanding? Maybe? Natural and tolerant? Most probably. Indeed, it was completely against the laws of the Talmud to have sexual intercourse unless the act was done in total darkness. Lights off, Judeo-Christian children, it is time to return to the Talmud's sexual modesty once again.
TALMUD: Where wine goes in, intellect comes out, as well as secrets. (Numbers Rabba 10)
GOSPEL: When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, 'Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.' They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?” Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.'...Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?' Jesus answered, 'You have said so.' (Matthew 26:20-25)
TALMUD: Israel will have her kingdom restored to her. (Numbers Rabba 10)
GOSPEL: The Jews then responded to him, 'What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?' Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.' They replied, 'It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” (John 2:18-20)
TALMUD: Most of the many misdeeds which man is liable to commit he can to some extent redeem--such as theft, fraud, but adultery never. The man who seduces another man's wife is beyond redemption. (Numbers Rabba 9)
GOSPEL: I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Matthew 5:32)
TALMUD: He that sanctifies himself here will receive sanctification from on high. (Numbers Rabba 10)
GOSPEL: He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the Earth is from the Earth and speaks of the Earth He who comes from Heaven is above all. What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies. (John 3:30-32)
TALMUD: 'I have made thee a god to Pharaoh,' said the LORD to Moses: a god to Pharaoh, but not a god.--Numb. Rabba 14.
GOSPEL: The Jews answered Him, saying, 'For a good work we will not stone you, but for blasphemy and because thou, being a man, makes thyself God.' Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, I said 'You are gods'? If He called them gods unto whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken)." (John 10:33-35)
TALMUD: 'No man shall see me and live,' said God (Exodus 33). Not in this earthly life, but in the higher life. (Numbers Rabba 14)
GOSPEL: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. (Matthew 5:8)
TALMUD: God, notwithstanding the various injunctions concerning light (Exodus 27, Leviticus 24, and Numbers 15), requires no light from man. There is no darkness with Him (Psalm 139 and Daniel 2). (Numbers Rabba 15)
GOSPEL: Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, 'I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.' (John 8:12)
TALMUD: Man's eyes have white and black in them; but the power of sight, the lens supplying light, is the black. (Numbers Rabba 15)
GOSPEL: The eye is a light for the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. And if the only light you have is really darkness, then you have the worst darkness. (Matthew 6:21-23)
TALMUD: The respect and honour due to one's teacher, and indeed to learned men in general, includes the following: not to stand or sit in the place he has temporarily vacated, not to contradict anything he says, not to interrupt him whilst he speaks; to put any question you may have to put to him with marked respect, and to reply to anything he asks of you without frivolity. (Numbers Rabba 15)
GOSPEL: And He also spoke a parable to them: 'A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.' (Luke 6:39-40)
TALMUD: Most of the many misdeeds which man is liable to commit he can to some extent redeem--such as theft, fraud, etc.; but adultery never. The man who seduces another man's wife is beyond redemption.--Numb. Rabba 9.
GOSPEL: Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. (Mark 10:11)
TALMUD: Wine was given to a criminal sentenced to death, before the execution, to mitigate his sorrow. (Numbers Rabba 10)
GOSPEL: Standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!'...After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, 'It is finished!' And He bowed His head and gave up His ghost. (John 19:25-30)
TALMUD: 'Thy camp shall be holy' (Deut. 23.). This is Moses' warning against adultery when going to war, as God would remove his presence from their midst if there were adulterers in their camp. (Number Rabba 9)
GOSPEL: I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (Matthew 5:32)
TALMUD: However the Israelites in Egypt may, by reason of their slavery, have gone astray, they kept themselves pure from sexual vice. (Numbers Rabba 9)
GOSPEL: But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:28)
TALMUD: It is not judicious to lodge in the same house with any woman- even with wife, daughter, or sister -if the relationship is not known to the people of the place; for the world is slanderously inclined. (Numbers Rabba 10)
GOSPEL: Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. (Luke 10:38-39)
TALMUD: Intoxicants lead to fornication. (Numbers Rabba 10)
GOSPEL: But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:28)
May the LORD God bless you in the name of St. Judas Maccabaeus.
