We’re going to stay right here on this topic, because this episode brings us to the conclusion of our discussion on rabbinic authority—and, honestly, to what may be the most serious implication of everything we’ve covered so far.
If someone insists on full submission to rabbinic authority—over the calendar, Sabbath boundaries, Torah interpretation—then we have to ask the unavoidable question: where does this leave Yeshua Himself?
What we begin to see is not a minor disagreement, but an unavoidable collision.
Over the last few episodes, we’ve talked about the Noahide Laws. We’ve talked about rabbinic authority. We’ve talked about the idea that we must wait for rabbinic approval before observing the calendar or making any changes. But when you follow those assumptions all the way out, you have to ask: what does this actually imply?
That’s what we’re going to chase down today.
And I want to say this carefully, respectfully, and honestly. Rabbinic authority does not merely disagree with Yeshua. It explicitly rejects Him. Once you see that clearly, the authority question can no longer be avoided or softened.
This is not an attack on rabbis as people. But if you submit yourself to rabbinic authority as binding, and you believe in Yeshua, you place yourself on a collision course. There’s no way around that. We can’t soften this message without losing the truth of it.
Here’s the tension that’s been turning the wheels for me over the last few episodes:
If you submit to rabbinic authority, you must ultimately reject Torah as written.
But if you submit to mainstream Christianity, you also reject Torah.
So on one side, Torah is rejected in favor of rabbinic authority.
On the other side, Torah is rejected in favor of Christian tradition.
Either way, Torah loses.
That’s an oxymoron—yet most believers have never actually examined it.
And here’s another assumption that needs to be challenged. Many believers assume that rabbinic sources are either silent about Yeshua, or that they simply view Him as a misunderstood teacher or a marginal historical figure. That assumption is incorrect.
The foundational texts of rabbinic authority do not treat Yeshua as misunderstood. They preserve explicit judgments against Him. These are not obscure footnotes. These are part of the authoritative rabbinic record itself.
Today, we’re going to read some of those records directly—starting with the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 43a—where Yeshua is accused of practicing sorcery. And it’s important to understand: this accusation functions as an outright prohibition against believing in Him as Messiah.
Once you see this, the authority question can no longer be ignored.
