Thanks for the reply. But your answer isn't clear.
I want to be clear, not to trap you in your words, but to understand what you believe because as I've said, I do believe the New Testament is inspired by God and is equal in authority to the Old Testament. If you don't believe the New Testament is inspired by God and equal in authority as the Old Testament then that explains why we can't come to an understanding. So, if you could make it abundantly clear to me, is the New Testament Scriptures and equal in authority to the Old Testament Scriptures?

I will let you answer your own question by your response to this statement.
A Jew says "I believe that the Misha, and that the whole Talmud, are inspired by God and equal in authority as the Old Testament because God "told" me they are, and I believe Him. The witness of the Holy Spirit within me convinces me that the Talmud is as inspired and Authoritative as the Old Testament. Taking that and combined with the fact that Jews everywhere have believed the Talmud to be inspired shows me that my internal witness of the Spirit is witnessed by countless others, so the matter has been established by 2 or more witnesses.
By this statement do you accept that the Talmud is scripture?
I see your point, and the answer to that question is no, I don't believe the talmud is authoritative.
I am glad you see my point.
Just so we are clear, I agree with you that the talmud should not be taken as authoritative. The talmud is filled with so much of man's perversion of God's word that I don't think anybody should ever read it period.
