quote:1759. A converted Jew, J. J. Frank, formed a sect called the Frankists at Lemberg. These people were all Jews who had become Christians in revolt against the evils taught in the Talmud. They said that it was the Talmud which was the root of all the troubles between Jews and Gentiles.

I may be wrong, but I understand the Talmud was written early in the first millennium. This is a long time after the agreement between God and his chosen people, spoken about in the Old Testament. The Talmud is not of divine inspiration.
So what stopped the people mentioned in the quoted text above from simply going back and adhering to the old scriptures ? Getting converted to Christianity was not at all necessary. Then why did they do it anyway ?
