Thank you for the question on the Talmud, βIs Talmud the word of God?β
The Talmud is meaning ‘teaching’ is an ancient text containing Jewish sayings, ideas and stories. It includes the Mishnah (oral law) and the Gemara (‘Completion’). The Mishnah is a large collection of sayings, arguments and counter-arguments that touch on virtually all areas of life.
In other words, the Talmud is a commentary by the wisest teachers of Israel that has been preserved for the Jewish people. As a commentary on the words of God, it is not the TANAKA. It is very helpful to see how teachers view a topic on the Old Testament.
