Seven hundred Kazillion varieties of Christianity, as opposed to Judaism which has no varieties? The Jewish Karaite man I conversed with would disagree, Karaite Judaism considers your extra-Biblical Talmud and Kabbalah an utter subversion of Biblical Judaism, he said it was occult mysticism, a witchcraft abomination. He brought this passage to my attention applying it to your "variety" of Judaism:

Deut. 18

9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Correction on this statement from my last post:

“The Jewish Karaite man I conversed with would disagree, Karaite Judaism considers your extra-Biblical Talmud and Kabbalah an utter subversion of Biblical Judaism...”

He did indeed view both Talmud and Kabbalah subversions of Biblical Judaism; he viewed Kabbalah, not the Talmud, a Jewish form of occultism, witchcraft - and an abomination.
