First you state over and over again that the Mishnah is commentary, then turn around and quote it as absolute truth.


Please provide JUST ONE post in which I have ever stated that the Mishnah is “commentary”. The Mishnah is the “Oral Torah”; it’s the g'mara that is “commentary”.

if Jerome is an authority on Judiasm now, you might as well believe in the Virgin Birth.


Who said Jerome “is an authority on Judiasm”? I was simply showing that he uses the word פִּיתּוּם pittum (“ventriloquist”) in his Latin translation, too.

Of course the Mishnah is commentary.  Why would Moses pass down a teaching about Samuel?
