My basic approach is based on the Five Books of Moses. I take the Talmud mainly to be an explanation of the Law of Moses. But it stands or falls based on how rigorous and logical and approach it is. No one in the Talmud says believe me because I am divinely inspired. One person tried it and was put into excommunication.
There are some laws which are called Halacha LeMoshe MiSinai. But they are about a million of a percent of the laws and discussions in the Talmud. Mainly whoever reasons best wins the argument.
