: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)

My guess would be that somewhere along the line, one anti-Judaic polemicist within the [[Seventh-day 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)

In General, any interpretations, ''Chabad'' is reliable, ''Sefaria'' - not always. In some cases they distort. As to misinterpreting texts in Talmud in order to use it to rationalize already-established-hate, that is unfortunately old news.[[User:Telling|Telling]] ([[User talk:Telling|talk]])
