Dear Kathy: Just as a reference, no need to respond. The Talmud cannot be understood by studying quotes from websites. Rabbis study this corpus of work for many, many years. You must understand the difference between Gemara and Mishna. How midrash, sod, remez and p’shat interpretation work. You can’t just grab an anti Christian statement out of the flow of a talmudic discussion and arrive at a conclusion. Most likely the conclusion you arrive at will be wrong. You must examine the entire argument to understand the points and why any one statement is being made. I’m not suggesting anyone hold to the authority or even all the teaching of the talmudic sages but at least as intelligent individuals lets speak accurately about the subject matter. The Talmud is a vast compilation of the Oral Law with rabbinical elucidations, elaborations, and commentaries, in contradistinction to the Scriptures or Written Laws. The Talmud is the accepted authority for Orthodox Jews not all Jews. The Noahide movement is a moral movement that for the most part is misrepresented on those sites that were listed. I wish you the best. This is not meant to offend anyone. Just to point out a misunderstanding of Talmud. Thanks Bug
