Is the Talmud supposed to be divinely inspired?

Is G-d supposed to be influencing how the Talmud develops? If not, why is it respected?

no.

just spell 'God' as 'God'.

Everything is divinely inspired, in that it is happening, unfolding just as She desires it to.

I apologize for the boor who does not know how to spell G-d.

First you need to understand WHAT the Talmud is. It is not actually a book on its own but rather an amalgamation of the Mishnah (Oral Torah) and Gemorrah (commentaries on the Mishnah). In modern editions we also have various commentaries from the Rishonim (the Rabbis in the period Cloe to the time after the Gemorrah was sealed) in the margins, headers, footnotes and appendices.

So, in reference to your question:
1) The Mishnah is seen as coming directly foam G-d; being given at the same time as the written Torah was given to Moshe
2) The Gemorrah is discussiob, case studies, ethic and moral tales, legal rulings etc based on the Mishnah
3) The commentaries are just there to help us understand the Mishnah and Gemorr better and to highlight the core principles so we can understand them better when we need to use the principles to make a decision on something not covered directly within the Talmud.

Why is it respected? Well- first it has the Mishnh directly from G-d, then it has the discussions and commentaries of Rabbis from a time period when a lot more knowledge was available. We can only learn from them and not contradict them for a very simple reason: we do not have the knowledge and resources they had. Unfortunately throughout the Talmud we see references to books and source that we no longer have with them being lost during the period of exile. As such, the Talmud does NOT develop- it is a static document that does not alter. All that we do nowadays is study it to know how to apply it, and then apply its principles to new situations and scenarios

answer: have you asked your rabbi about this? You do have a rabbi and synagogue, yes? One usually does before converting.

The Talmud clarifies the Torah - see Allony's answer.

You've claimed to be converting to Judasim. If this is you want to, then contact a Rabbi, instead of trying to, by asking questions in YA. Once you contact a Rabbi, it will be obvious why this question doesn't even make sense & assumes antisemitic views of Talmud that were spread in the 1200's.

I really do wish the anti Jewish, antisemitism, would get new material!

Be very careful of the "Come & Hear" site with same name. It is one of those antisemitic versions created by the Nazi sympathizer Elizabeth Dilling to generate hatred leading up to the Holocaust.

Reform & Orthodox views of Talmud are a little different, but both respect it.
