Change in Historical Views: Talmud

I made a change in Historical Views: Talmud. It was written there: He answered him, 'This is what he said to thee, To-day, if ye will hear his voice.'

"if ye will hear his voice" is not the meaning of the sentence. It is a sentence taken from a verse in Psalms 95;7: "today if you will listen to his voice".

The true meaning of the sentence is "listen to his voice", it is also the only right translation there is.

It means to obey, to listen to what G-d says to you and do what he tells you to. Not to hear his voice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.183.167.80 (talk • contribs) 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Missing discussion of Haymanot

The article addresses the role of the Messiah in various sects/denominations of Judaism. But it does not address Haymanot (tradition of Beta Israel).

We are already over 6,100 years after creation

Dunno where this 2240 CE came from, but the numbers within the Bible add up with the current day already way over 6,000 years. So even if I take out the years that never were, we are way past the 6,000 years since Creation described in the Bible. 89.134.17.205 (talk) 19:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of sourced information

@Nycarchitecture212: Don't delete sourced information. tgeorgescu (talk) 18:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

I refuse to interact with this individual, so my contributions to the article will stop here if other users are fine with him deleting my edit I will not revert it. Have a nice day! Nycarchitecture212 (talk) 23:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Why? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 00:26, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nycarchitecture212: I'm not talking about fringe. I'm talking about your deletions. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:24, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Sourcing

@Davidbena: while I appreciate the hard work you put in to providing material for this page, the Talmud is not a secondary source per Misplaced Pages standards but an original source. In addition, we need to write an article intended for the general public, and these comments are really deep in the weeds. We must provide secondary sources that explain what theologians think of the Talmudic references, not provide the references themselves (except as limited examples, such as a quote). Ogress 01:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I agree with you there. If I find any secondary sources that are worthy of note, I'll suggest the edit. Thanks.Davidbena (talk) 03:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that would be super! Ogress 13:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
