Oral Torah as Divine Authority — Rabbinic Judaism Debunked

Rabbinic Judaism claims the Oral Torah was given at Sinai alongside the Written Torah.

The Torah itself says 'Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it' (Deuteronomy 4:2). The Oral Torah (Talmud Bavli) was compiled between 200–500 CE and contains rulings that directly contradict the Written Torah. The Talmud even records debates where rabbis override God's opinion (Bava Metzia 59b — 'It is not in heaven'). The authority structure shifted from 'Thus says the LORD' to 'Thus say the Rabbis.'

Verdict: Adding the Oral Torah as co-equal with Scripture violates the Torah itself.
