→The Babylonian Talmud
:Huh, so the conservative Christian argument about the Talmud allegedly saying "marriage contracts for same-sex couples led to the Great Flood" might be a misleading, exaggerated [[quote mine]] after all? I see. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Thursday, 01:28, October 5, 2023 (EDT)

===Digression a bit: the Book of Daniel===
Another point since I'm asking about the Talmud: is there any basis, at least from your perspective, to suspect that the Talmud attempts to discredit the [[Book of Daniel]] to a certain extent since chapter 9 foretells the coming of the Messiah? For example, it appears that [https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1735365/jewish/Why-Isnt-the-Book-of-Daniel-Part-of-the-Prophets.htm Daniel isn't listed as a prophet].
And the other argument I've seen is this probably fake quote:
{{cquote|May the bones of the hands and bones of the fingers decay and decompose of him who turns the pages of the book of Daniel, to find out the time of Daniel 9:24-27, and may his memory rot from off the face of the earth forever.|||allegedly "Talmudic Law, p. 978, Section 2, Line 28"}}
Now, the actual quote I found is [https://www.sefaria.org/Sanhedrin.97b.9?lang=bi this]:
{{cquote|Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani says that Rabbi Yonatan says: May those who calculate the end of days be cursed [tippaḥ], as they would say once the end of days that they calculated arrived and the Messiah did not come, that he will no longer come at all.|||Sanhedrin 97b}}
My guess would be that somewhere along the line, one anti-Judaic polemicist within the Adventist Church or wherever decided to "modify" Sanhedrin 97b and the exaggerated quote was either fabricated or accidentally misread as belonging to "page 978" since "B" looks like "8." —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Thursday, 01:36, October 5, 2023 (EDT)
