........
also if you go to his FAQ one of his favorite author is Michael brown

I'm afraid that there is a lot more that Glenn doesn't know aside from his not knowing the Hebrew language, all of which is reflected in the material he writes. He doesn't know anything about Judaism, Jewish Law, Jewish customs & traditions, and he is ignorant of the works of the Jewish Sages. So, attempting to learn anything from him regarding how to "correctly" interpret the Hebrew Scriptures is a very risky proposition - he writes his material for one reason only, utilizing subterfuge and deception, to justify his theological beliefs and to convince others that Jews don't know their own scriptures (and, perhaps, even convince some uneducated Jews that Christianity is true and normative Judaism is false).

The fact that his "favorite author is Michael Brown" is not surprising, since Dr. Brown's work has the same goal. The big difference between them is that Michael Brown is a highly educated and intelligent person with a PhD in Near Eastern Studies from a reputable university, and he knows the truth (that we, the Jewish people, are trying to teach) but keeps on denying it (to himself) for whatever personal reasons he may have.

I am sure that to you, as a Christian, Miller's and Brown's works provide that warm and comfy feeling in your tummy, since they resonate with what you have been believing all your life. So, unless you are willing to open your mind to other points of view that may contradict your beliefs, I don't really see what the purpose is for your presence here and initiating topics that have no relevance to Judaism. If you want to ask questions about Judaism or Jewish understandings of the Hebrew Bible, we welcome them and we will be happy to answer them. We are not interested in debating whether yeshu was a real person nor whether the Greek Testament is reliable, etc. - even though such issues are irrelevant to Judaism, the known historical facts speak for themselves .

Uri yosef, I was wondering if you know of any links for studying the jewish talmud A.K.A. the Babylonian version. I would greatly appreciate it. i know this is out of topic!

I know of no such resources. Perhaps the primary reason for this is that studying the Talmud under the guidance of an qualified (Jewish) teacher is restricted to Jews. I am not 100% certain whether Noahides are permitted to study limited areas of the Talmud, since they do accept the authority of both the Written and Oral Torah as well as the works of the Jewish Sages. Maybe someone more knowledgeable on this topic could chime in on this.
