Not true at all.
I don't need assurances from you. You are not my teacher. I know the subject/evidence well. You're wrong.
Name an "ancient Rabbi" and provide his original commentary. Go for it....All you have are ancient traditions filled with lies. Your Rabbinical commentary is no later the 3rd and 4th century and varies significantly between sources.
The Bible was written by Greek Jews..Even Jospehsus learned and published in Greek. English word Genesis is distinctly Greek. Not Hebrew. Whyte are even trying to deny this? You're using a Greek source to denote the first book of the Torah. It must hurt for you to do that..
edited . It's people like you that I detest for spreading mis-information and disinformation about Jewish History. The Messianic Hebrew Jewish apostles wrote the Brit Hadashah to instruct gentiles like you. I suppose you think Mary was calling the name Jesus when he was a little boy? No his name was Yeshua a Hebrew/Aramaic name. Yeshua spoke Aramaic. While your English Bible may say the English word Genesis mine says the Hebrew word B'resheet. There's no Greek source for the Tanakh. I suppose you think tithing is required in churches today?
Tithing is not required. Tithing went away when the 2nd Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. Tithing was used to support the Levitical priesthood and since there is no Temple, then there is no Levitical priesthood to support.
I do believe in helping widows and orphans as outlined in the Brit Hadashah. You maybe able to BS your Christian friends with your false rhetoric but you can't fool me.
