@be(t)et lamed resh
I have been following your interactions with various participants of my thread concerning this PDF and the conflicting accounts of Josephus. This PDF and multiple sources identified Josephus as a Pharisee, to which you reacted by pointing out that there were different schools. Josephus is on-topic. Which Pharisee school he may have subscribed to is most definitely off-topic.
Then when a participant brought up the authority of the Zadokites (Deu 17:8-13, Eze 44:15,23-24) you responded by quoting talmud, e.g. Shabbat 31a, an account of a gentile seeking conversion via Torah only (who was then rejected with admonitions). While this is an example of differing schools of Pharisees, it could be construed as an insult to a gentile believer in Messiah Yeshua seeking 'the adoption of sons' under Torah and is so far off topic as to be disruptive enough to completely derail my thread.
It is for this cause that I sincerely ask that you to refrain from bringing in external citations that do not directly pertain to this discussion. May the blessings and revelations of our loving Messiah Yeshua guide you in all things!
Shalom
