8.127. But isn’t the Talmud an inspired book like the Bible? Don’t Jews worship the same God and share the same scriptures?
Absolutely not. The Talmud is not inspired, it is not holy, and it is most certainly not equal to Sacred Scripture. On the contrary, the Talmud is a post-Christian collection of writings, composed by the rabbis who rejected Jesus Christ, and it contains blasphemies, curses, and hatred against Our Lord, Our Lady, and Christians. It is, by any honest assessment, an anti-Christ text.
While the Old Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures) contains true revelation that was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Talmud was developed afterward, specifically by the Pharisees and their successors—the very group Our Lord condemned repeatedly (cf. Matt. 23). The Talmud replaced the Bible in post-Temple Judaism, becoming their supreme authority. It is not merely “commentary”; it is the foundation of modern Rabbinic Judaism, a false religion that rejects the Messiah.
The Catholic Church has never regarded the Talmud as holy. On the contrary, popes and councils have condemned it, and it has been censored and banned for its hatred of Christ. Many of its most blasphemous passages have been deliberately omitted in modern translations to deceive non-Jews.
Here are just a few of the horrific things the Talmud teaches:
| Blasphemy or Teaching | Talmudic Source | Summary / Content |
|---|---|---|
| Jesus is in Hell, boiling in excrement | Gittin 57a | Our Lord is condemned to eternal punishment in Hell for leading Israel astray. |
| Jesus practiced magic and led Israel into apostasy | Sanhedrin 107b, Sotah 47a | Accuses Christ of sorcery and seducing the people into idolatry and false religion. |
| Jesus was the son of a harlot and a Roman soldier | Sanhedrin 106a, Shabbath 104b | Claims the Blessed Virgin Mary was unfaithful and conceived Jesus through fornication with a soldier named Panthera. |
| Mary is a prostitute who conceived Jesus during menstruation | Kallah 1b (18b) | Grossly insults the purity of the Blessed Virgin, associating her with ritual impurity and immorality. |
| Christians are idolaters and deserve death | Abodah Zarah 26b, 17a | Teaches that Christians worship false gods and are liable to capital punishment. |
| Gentiles (non-Jews) are animals | Yebamoth 98a, Baba Mezia 114b | Describes Gentiles as inferior beings, likening them to animals and stating they are not fully human. |
| Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed | Soferim 15, Rule 10 | Advocates violence and extermination of even morally upright non-Jews. |
| Christians will be judged in Gehenna forever | Rosh Hashanah 17a | States that those who follow Christ are condemned to eternal damnation in Hell. |
| It is permissible to deceive or steal from Gentiles | Sanhedrin 57a, Baba Kamma 113a | Teaches that honesty and justice do not need to be applied in dealings with non-Jews. |
Summary:
These are not isolated comments. They reflect the spirit of Rabbinic Judaism, which has explicitly rejected Jesus Christ and teaches contempt for Him and His followers. And yet Vatican II's Nostra Aetate and post-conciliar “popes” praise Judaism and pretend that we share “the same God.” This is a diabolical deception.
The Talmud is not inspired. It is anti-Christ. It is not Scripture, but the manual of a religion founded on the rejection of the Incarnation.
Our Lord Himself condemned the traditions of the Pharisees—the very group who produced the Talmud:
“You have made void the commandment of God for your tradition. Hypocrites!”
“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do.”
The Talmud is not holy, not inspired, and not part of the Catholic heritage. It is the doctrinal foundation of a false religion that hates Jesus Christ and seeks to undermine the Catholic Faith.
Modern Vatican II “Catholicism” falsely teaches that we share a spiritual heritage with post-Christian Jews. But the only true heritage they need is conversion to the Gospel.
“Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.”
“There is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.”
To honor or promote the Talmud is to blaspheme Jesus Christ and insult the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
True Catholics reject the Talmud, just as they reject the Quran and every other book of false religion. Our loyalty is to Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the true Catholic Faith, which calls all—including the Jews—to convert and believe in the one true Savior.
