Jesus's biggest beef with the Rabbi's of his time was their teaching that the Oral Torah trumped the original Torah handed down to Moses. .....Talmud is the corruption of original Judaism which had no such text. The call for an Oral Torah was just that. An oral/verbal version. Lest what worked or had an application for one group of Jews somewhere came to bind all Jews everywhere as Talmud did. Once you write something down that's authoritative it can' tbe changed. That's why the Oral Torah was to remain a verbal version so disparate groups of Jews could have their own versions with no one version coming to hold sway over the entire world.
Who gave Talmudic Jews this authority? Wasn't God. Was the rabbis themselves. They gave themselves the authority so consider the source.
Jesus was most upset with the 'money changers', basically they acquiesce to the imperialists, not understanding the greater significance of the temple for the people. He knew it would be destroyed and what that would do to their way of life.

actually----sunni Habibi----like Penelope, you never read the book. Jesus had no such "beef" He was-----in fact-------a TALMUDIST -------he----very much favored ---based on the statements that seem most reliably attributed to him in the NT-------the logic and law as it was expounded upon in the Talmud----------gee you are dim. Jesus quoted both the TALMUD and its most impressive scholar of his time----HILLEL ----
incessantly
Heck if he was, he was against the traditions of the elders.
No, he was a prophet looking into their future and trying to teach them a way to adapt. The temple was the center of their world, soon it would be gone, and then what?
