How To Study The Bible?

How many years of bible study before I'm able to "write" the Talmud the way the rabbis do?

  • My knowledge of the bible is considered advanced by most believers but compared to the rabbis who wrote the Talmud, I am a mere infant who knows nothing. Since I can't read hebrew, I was hoping that one day I could come up with my own interpretations of the bible and they would be just as insightful and as inspirational as the quotes from the Talmud but I don't know how long it will be until this day comes.

  • Answer:

    God told Moses to construct something "according to the picture I [God] showed you [Moses]." There are no pictures in the Torah scroll, but the exact instructions ARE found in the Talmud. A reading of the Torah of Moses makes it clear that the Torah was meant to be followed. It is filled with minutia including how to perform ceremonies for consecrating the sons of Aaron and establishing them as priests for the nation, so obviously God intended they DO what the Torah says for them to do. But many of the Torah's instructions aren't as detailed as the ones for Aaron's sons and the priesthood.The detailed instructions were given to Moses orally, and he passed them on to Aaron, the rest of the priests, the leaders of the various tribes, and then to the people themselves, so that everybody heard it directly from Moses at least once, and the leaders heard it from Moses more than once. These oral instructions are the foundation of the Talmud. The word "Talmud" means "study" and the only way to understand the Talmud is to study it with the aid of a rabbi or other observant Orthodox Jew who already knows the Talmud.

Rabbis do NOT write Talmud. Talmud was given at Sinai along with Torah. Torah says to wear tzitzit (fringes on the corners of your garment. Numbers 15:38 & Deuteronomy 22:12 What do they look like ? How are they tied ? Is each tribe's different ? The answers are not in Torah, but are in the Talmud. The same is true of tefillin, what the KJV calls frontlets. Exodus 13:16 , Deuteronomy 6:8 & Deuteronomy 11:18 How are they made ? What do they look like ? How are they bound to the head & hand ? Where are they placed ? What if one is left handed ? When are they worn. The answers are NOT in Torah but in Talmud. Torah tells us to slaughter an animal so that the animal feels no pain. Only the Talmud instructs as to how that is done. Without Talmud most of the 613 commandments can not be done properly, as the Talmud give the detailed instruction how to walk out the commandments. There is no new instruction to write.

If you don't know Hebrew or Aramaic or Greek, you cannot be a respected teacher. How can you teach what you do not know? Christianity recently discovered that Jesus didn't die on the cross, so rather than tell the people that they just learned how to speak Hebrew, and found an obvious mistake in the crucifixion story, they changed Jesus' name to conform to the lie. (NIV) Is that what you want to do? Are you in it for money or truth?
