RABBINICAL JUDAISM TEACHES THAT THEIR RULINGS ARE GREATER THAN THE VOICE OF HEAVEN

Talmud: Baba Metzia 59b

It has been taught: On that day R. Eliezer brought forward every imaginable argument but they [the other rabbis] did not accept them. Said he to them: ‘If the halachah agrees with me, let this carob-tree prove it!’ Thereupon the carob-tree was torn a hundred cubits out of its place — others affirm, four hundred cubits. ‘No proof can be brought from a carob-tree,’ they retorted.
