No. Those are not quotes from the Talmud, although the 3rd and 4th (Sanhedrin 66a and 101a) come closest to being paraphrases. The rest change concepts and/or omit necessary context.
Ironically, all the Talmud passages are intended to show cases of mercy drawn from other arguments from Moses, where the Mosaic laws when stated alone without that context are strict. That worked for awhile, but Jesus demonstrated both that the laws were even stricter than that and that mercy must still be shown via attributing the punishment to him rather than to the offender.
That old post u sourced didn't debunk whether the tamed says those things.
You said "No" was fine. It doesn't say those things because in the first place those aren't quotations, and in the second place only two of them are accurate enough as paraphrases. The neglect of context causes the rest to be inaccurate and therefore not what it says. Further, the thrust of the graphic indicating the two columns are intended to be opposed is completely contrary to the intent of the references, and so I showed evidence of that. When the Talmud names an exception to a Mosaic law it always supports that by reference to another Mosaic law, as it is intended to supplement Mosaic law and not to supplant it.
