"You shall not add to the law which I command you, not shall you diminish from it" (Davarim - 4:2).
"All that I command you, you shall diligently do; you shall not add to it nor diminish from it" (Davarim - 13:1)
"Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and you be found a liar". (Mishlei - 30:6)

You must be a Karaite for you do not understand that the Oral law was given alongside the Written law...

There are many things you cannot explain without the Oral law. Are you prepared to answer these questions, obvious commandments from the Torah for which the Torah (written) does not explain? Are you on the level of the Sages and the Rabbis who received the Mesorah which reaches back to Sinai?

I dont think so...

So if you want to talk about who has the ultimate decision of Halacha, whether it is G-d or Man... Hashem has handed the decision of Halacha over to man.

muman613:
Here is a simple question for one who doesn't believe in the Oral law...


How come the Torah says clearly not to make graven images, and yet the Holy of Holies itself contains gold images of the Churibim?

Is this a violation of the Torah, a mistake, or what?

muman613:
Another good question for those who do not believe Oral Law...


What does the command 'Observe the Sabbath' really mean? What constitutes 'work'/melacha?

muman613:
There is also no command to observe Purim and yet we read Megillah Ester every year during this time... Is this too an addition to the Torah?

G-d does not leave the matters of morality in the hands of man. You say “Are you greater than our Rabbis?”

The question is “Are your Rabbis greater than Hashem?” If not, why contradict him!?
