The History of The Talmud (7 of 7)

http://mesianicos.blogspot.com/
Director Pierre-Henry Salfati's incisive documentary explores the origins and history of the Talmud, the fundamental text of rabbinic principals and wisdom, regarded as the most influential text on the everyday conduct of Jewish life. Through expert analysis and in-depth interviews, Salfati goes to great lengths to demystify this vast collection of philosophical commentary and debate, which has been called "the hidden face of the Torah."

WoW!

I am bewitch to have seen this video. In a time were lots of people, including myself, think of jews as being selfish and elite, this video should be aired trough-out the world. What a singular and profoundly inspiring history then that of the jewish religion and it's peoples. After reading the Coran i understand how strongly muslim can rely on it's simple and engaging message, but now i think i'll take the one page a day of the Talmud prescription. This video realy, realy opened my mind.

The Talmud - The intellectual freedom to question, to argue, to debate; democracy of the mind. It's this tradition what makes Judaism a hot bed of Nobel prize winners. It's the one blessing from God that makes good the promise to the ancestors: "You Lord will make you the Head, not the tail........ you will always be at the top, never at the bottom" (Deut. 28:13)

BTW, I thought this documentary was pretty good, though it does gloss over or omit some of the distasteful things written about us Gentiles, but that doesn't mean all or most Jews follow that & those were written in an ancient or medieval context or mindset when just about every nation, race, religion open spoke ill, badmouth, condemned, berated, fabricated malicious tales about every other group. Like several decades after the Norman conquest of 1066, the Normans, mostly of the selfsame Teuton

@dblazer re: (Isaac's sons, Saxons: this is offered by adherents of Anglo-Israelism as some kind of evidence that Saxons, i.e., the Indo-European Teutonic (Ingvaeonic) Saxons, who NEVER called themselves by that name. "Saxon" was an exonym, given to them by neighboring, closely related, in race, language, culture, fellow Germanics, due to the ancient & medieval practice of the Saxons using the shortsword, (West-Saxon-Old-English, c. 800AD, "sēax"' 'shortsword", cognate (lit. From Lat. 'cognatus

Most of the quotes you've seen are taken out of context. So yes. In a certain case a gentile is considered to be like an animal, and that is when he is a slave. This is because a person accuires an animal the same as a slave. Now it doesn't mean to treat him as such. However, if the Talmud really and truely regarded a gentile as an animal, then how come it doesn't permit a Jew for killing one with out prabable cause (self defence)?

Before you rebuke something, read it in it's entirety.

@Jewdicris do you deny that the talmud teaches that non-jews are animals though? everything you said was right, logical debates to discuss the law, yes. Everything in the talmud, to make the jewish people a great and successful people, and they are a great and successful people. But do you deny also the supermacist teachings of the talmud?

[Jewdicris]

@busysignal2006 I see that you don't know what you are talking about.

[Jewdicris]

@arthurkgatos Have you seen a single volume of the Talmud, let alone look inside? The Talmud is a compilation of logical debate to discuss the law. Like how to celebrate passover (how to clean the house, the Seder, etc). There is an entire volume in the Babalonian Talmud on that. There are other volumes explaining blessings, civil law, etc.

[Jewdicris]

@teck9troublesome All those pages and all those comentaries just to say that? Your claim is logical.
