Both. They are blind to the truth, and in their blindness they conjure up all sorts of deceptions to deceive those who don't believe as they do.
Jews (at least many of them) consider the Talmud canonical, and they use it more than the Torah. And of course it was written in Babylon. That's why it is called the Babylonian Talmud. You can check Wikipedia if you don't believe me.The Talmud wasn't written in Babylon. You could have simply looked that up. It's basically a religious legal source and rabbi opinions on different subjects. It's not a religious text.
It does. The Old Testament is very clear about Jesus being the messiah. I know the Bible quite well, and I can agree with this. And now you come and cast suspicion on the gospels... interesting. When the Old Testament fully confirms the New Testament Gospel. Every true student of scripture and genuine person looking for God will know this. I can give you many, many pieces of evidence, and perhaps I should do so... since I can see ignorance about these matters is widespread. I will make sticky threads about it.The old testament does not describe Jesus perfectly. What the NT does is shoe horn Jesus into the OT. How do I know? The Gospels were written not only long after Jesus died but even the four gospels that were accepted (there are many gospels) are problematic. First off, 3 of the 4 have been shown to come from an older gospel. The slight differences between the three shows human manipulation. The Gospel of John, which doesn't come from the same source as the other three, is so different from the other three that it's almost reading a different Jesus. The point I'm making is the Gospels are suspect for manipulation. It's very easy to manipulate the story and refer it back to a prophecy from the OT. The big problem, however, is that no where in the OT does it say the messiah will be God in the flesh.
Yeah, that's what most of them do believe about Jesus, because their eyes are blinded to the truth... it is actually funny that they call chapters in the Old Testament that clearly point to Jesus as "cursed", and then they refuse to read it. Interesting...He's not lying. That is what Jews actually believe about Jesus. How do I know? It doesn't differ from what other Jews think about Jesus and so you're being absurd.
