Talmudic? That's not what we're talking about though. The talmud is a seperate line of teaching than the bible itself as far as I know.
The rabbis were not necessarily hand in hand with the writings of Moses, since we know at least a few cases where God in the bible called the teachers out. 1) with Jesus where he said they were preaching the traditions of men, and 2) I believe in the prophets wher God says that the teachers are teaching against his commands so as to please the ear.
Also, when saying "God this...", it would be good to clarify which context you're in. Because from the new testament its pretty clear bold is not true. As for Jesus per se, through his words we can't know. But as I explained in the Chik-fil-A thread it's difficult to dissociate Christ's words from Paul's.
