The Talmud: Difference between revisions

* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: God desires this, believe it or not, in Tractate Sanhedrin. Narrowly averted when He catches sight of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah - the three righteous men from the [[The Bible|Book of Daniel]].

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Known as "measure against measure", this crops up all over the place. A famous example is in Avot 2:7:

* [[Ho Yay]]: Rabbi Yohanan and Resh Lakish in Bava Metzia 84a. Resh Lakish sees Rabbi Yohanan bathing in the Jordan, thinks he's a woman, and pole vaults the river on his lance. When he discovers his gender mistake, he says to Rabbi Yohanan, "Your beauty for women!". They become at the very least [[Heterosexual Life Partners]], and brothers-in-law to boot, as Resh Lakish marries Rabbi Yohanan's sister.

* [[Jesus Was Way Cool]]: Averted and inverted; none of the Talmud editions have much good to say about him, and some specifically say (in Gittin 57) that he's being [[Fire and Brimstone Hell|punished in Hell]] for [[Values Dissonance|being an apostate]].
