Concerning the Oral and Written Traditions of the Elders, the Talmud

My question for years now has been this; Sense the Father commanded us not to add to or take away;
Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as
to guard the commands of your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov.
30:6, Rev. 22:18-19,
Deu_12:32; Jos_1:7; Pro_30:6; Ecc_12:13; Mat_5:18, Mat_5:43, Mat_15:2-9; Mar_7:1-13; Gal_3:15;
Rev_22:18-19

Why isn't the Torah enough? Everyone is always looking for the newest and most interesting rather than being
well grounded in Torah, and I do not mean, oh hey, I read the Torah, I mean really studying it. The Messiah
fought all the time with the Elders and their traditions; shouldn't that be an example from the Messiah NOT to
look to anything other than His Torah?
I have so many brothers who say we need the Talmud because of its so-called rich historical accounts, and this
makes my heart feel like stopping. If you want to read or study, historical accounts do so without reading
something that has a strong agenda that takes you away from the principles found in the Fathers Torah that
clearly states; Do Not Add to or Take Away from His Commandments. I cannot and will not pollute my heart
and mind with such garbage. Sorry if this offends anyone, but it is a direct disobedience to the Father when He
Himself says His Torah is enough.

Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): "My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of
the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament)."
Here, if a prophet goes to a Rabbi and reveals that the Father commanded this prophet to tell the Rabbi that how
they are conducting themselves is a sin and this line up with scripture, according to the teachings found in
Talmud, the Rabbi would have the right to have the prophet put to death because of challenging the Rabbi. This
is an abomination and completely against the Fathers principals found in Torah for righteousness.
Why would anyone ever want to pollute his or her mind and heart with this garbage? They can argue, yes, that
is in the Talmud, but not all of it is like that or some other stupid argument. The fact is this; the Talmud is not
commanded in the Torah to study. In fact, we are told the Fathers Torah is ALL we need. So why have to try
to figure out what is good and what is not? Isn't it so much easier to just go to the good source, the Torah that is
full of truth and life?
Christians use the verse about it is not what goes in your mouth (food) that makes you unclean, but what
comes out" as an excuse to eat pork and other unclean animals, Mark 7.
Nevertheless, we know that he was condemning extra instructions to Torah, or oral laws. They had turned
simple hand washing into a ritual with extra steps.
Commentary by Gill on Deuteronomy 4:2, Ye shall not add to the word which I command you,
nether shall you diminish ought from it,.... Neither make new laws of their own, and join them to the law
of God, and set them upon a level with it, or prefer them before it; as the Scribes and Pharisees did in Christ's
time, who by their traditions made the word of God of none effect, as do the Papists also by their unwritten
traditions; nor abrogate nor detract from the law of God, nor make void any part of it: or else the sense is,
neither do that which is forbidden, nor neglect that which is commanded; neither be guilty of sins of omission
nor commission, nor in any way break the law of God, and teach men so to do by word or by example; not a jot
or tittle is either to be put to it, or taken from it, Pro_30:5. that ye may keep the commandments of the
Lord your God, which I command you; in his name; or which he delivered unto them as his

commandments, and which were to be kept just as they were delivered, without adding to them, or taking from
them.

The Word equals Torah; The Torah became flesh and lived with us...
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Torah, and the Torah was with Elohim, and the Torah was Elohim. John 1:14
And the Torah became flesh and lived among us.
Therefore, when people reject Torah, they reject the Messiah. They say the Torah was nailed to the Cross, that
is true, but He came off the Cross and lived again.
The Messiah says, "IF you love Him to KEEP HIM.". 1 John 2:4 He who says, I know the Messiah, and
does not KEEP His Torah, is a liar, and the TRUTH is not in him.
The Messiah equals Truth, so if you do not keep the Torah, the Messiah is not in you.
What is Sin? Lawlessness Equals Torahlessness. 1 John 3:4. Whoever commits sin also commits Lawlessness,
and sin is Lawlessness. Matthew 7:23. And then I will declare to them " I never knew you; depart from me, you
who practice Lawlessness !"
By the way; who is the Lawless one mentioned in Revelations? Do you really want to be identified as a
Lawless person just as the Anti Messiah Antichrist? Sense the True Messiah is the Living Torah, if you reject
the Torah, then you reject the Messiah.
If you disregard His Commandments of Not Adding to or Taking Away from His Torah, then in fact you are
saying He is not enough or correct.
To put this in its simplest terms, the Talmud Breaks the Command of Not to Add to or Take Away as found
in Deuteronomy 4:2 as well as many other Scripture verses.
Anyone found to be arguing that the Talmud is ok and in fact is needed to understand Torah, is according to the
Fathers Torah, willfully disobedient to the Fathers Commandments.
The Torah in fact was and is, very simple Scriptures to understand All by itself. I would suggest that if you
have problems understanding any of the Torah as the Father has simply given it, then you are like those who did
not understand the Messiah when He spoke to them, their hearts were not ready to Hear, and See His Truth, you
should pray for understanding.
