>Gnosticism is an offshoot of Christianity
Gnosticism existed
before Christianity, with it's origins dating back to the various Mysteries cults in 16th century B.C. Greece:

>The jews were another tribe.
The word "Jew" derrives from the Hebrew tribe Judah, who became the defecto "leader" after Israel split. However it became a generic term used to refer to
all Israelites after their countries were conquered by the Babylonians. The Jews of today come from two offshoots. The first is the followers of the Pharisees, who were
always a subversive element seeking control (
Their name literally deriving from their attempted assimilation with their Persian lords after Cyrus took over) and rejected Christ to the point that they arranged his execution. The second offshoot are the Khazars. After the Romans grew tired of the constant Jewish rebellions orchestrated by the Pharisees, they destroyed Israel and caused the Pharisees and their followes to be sent to the edges of the empire. One result of this was a group of Pharisees eventually seeking refuge in the Trukish mountains during the 8th century with a tribe of Khazars. As a result of this, the Khazars converting to Judaism due to their appreciation for their companions and are what we new refer to as Ashkenazi Jews.
So the former is the actual offspring of the Israelites, though heavily polluted in both genetics and beliefs, meanwhile the latter are just Jews in name only.

>come straight from the Talmud
The Talmud is an olgimation of the various beliefs and teachings the Israelites encountered and began adopting under Babylonian and Persian rule that was put down onto paper in order to "preserve" their systems after Rome sacked Jerusalem. In addition, there is almost
nothing traditionally "Jewish" about the Talmud as it's beliefs and customs ae
directly at odds with the teachings of the Torah.

It should be noted that there are actually
TWO "Torahs". The first is the "Written" Torah, that is the first five books of the Old Testiment written by Moses and is what people refer to when they're generally talking about the Torah. However the
second Torah, like you see listed there in
Lesbian Golfing Sim 2, is a completely seperate document called the "Oral Torah". It has
jack fucking shit to do with with the
ACTUAL Torah that Moses wrote. The Oral Torah was just orally trasmitted laws created during Israel's subjugation under the Babylonians, that eventually became the declarations and practices of the Pharisees. When you see Kikes talking about the Torah, they're referring their made-up "Oral Torah" that didn't actually exist on paper until 70 A.D..
