It would be good if you would post my entire sentence so as not to "modify" the point I was making.
"The internet is a good tool to find Scriptures,
but it is the Scriptures that teach us doctrine, and "Instruction in Righteousness", not the World Wide Web". In my view."
Surely you don't disagree with this statement.
Exactly! So I used their search engine to find occurrences of the word "angry" as a way of seeing if the phrase everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment." That phrase does not occur in the law.
Is it possible to reach that conclusion by getting at the meaning of other things in the law? Yes!
The entire intent in your post was to teach that God's Law didn't address being angry with a Brother for no reason. That Jesus "Modified" God's Law because He came teaching different than HIS father. If you were to be honest, that is what your posts reflect.
You were replying to my post;
"I was responding to your post.
"He bound up the law about murder, saying that it included hating."
Jesus didn't teach anything different than what HIS Father had already written. The Mainstream preachers did, but Jesus didn't. God's Law has always taught not to Kill, and not to Hate your Brother."
Then You posted the reason for your disagreement with me.
"I did a word search for every occurrence of "angry".

I don't see that what Jesus says is stated in the law."
What I posted was Scriptures which indeed confirm that what Jesus said, is stated in the Law.
I even posted the original Greek Word that was translated into the English word "Anger", in order for us both to understand where Jesus received this teaching from. Clearly He is furthering God's Laws regarding our Brother, found in the Law and Prophets.
I did so, because one of the "many" insidious falsehoods taught by the religions of the land we were born into, is from Matt. 5. They falsely preach that the "them of old time" is referring to God and Moses, when the truth is, these were the Shepherds who led Israel astray by becoming "Partial in the Law". Jesus is pointing out that HE, as our High Priest, teaches to "Live by" Every Word of God", not the religious doctrines and traditions of the mainstream religions of the land we are born into. As HE said;
Matt. 5:
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, (Mainstream Preachers of that time) ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
We don't have to use the word "modified". "Clarified" is fine with me. Or the phrase "taught details about the law". Is one of those acceptable to you?
There is a world of difference between "Modified" and "clarified". Just as there is a world of difference between "Destroy" and Fulfill".
I can only go by what you post. If you made an error by choosing "Modified" when you really meant "clarified", then the entire meaning of your posts has been changed. And it goes from being false, to being true.
Jesus and Paul "clarified" God's Laws because the Mainstream Preachers of their time had polluted them with their own religious traditions and "Commandments of men".
Both you and I were born into the same world, with the same Mainstream Religions which pollute God's Laws by promoting their own religious philosophies, which change depending on which religious franchise one adopts. We were warned about these "Many" who come in Christ's Name.
The main thing I'm interested in discussing is
the idea that at least some of the laws are about something different than what we see in just the letters.
It seems to me you are here to justify your own popular religious philosophy regarding God's Sabbaths. I don't see that you are too concerned with fringes or facial hair. But to separate 52 Saturdays a year unto God, now that could impact your lifestyle.
The Irony is, becoming honest with ones self is one stated reason why God created His weekly "Fast from the world" for men. As it is written.
Is. 58:
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
God explains the reason for His Laws and "Instruction in Righteousness" if we would just "Hunger and thirst" for them.
Matt. 5:6.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Is. 58:
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
This surely looks like God defining what HE means by "our work". Do you believe God's intent here is to teach us to treat every day of the week the same? To make money on His Sabbath? Did this Law of God Pass? Or did Jesus tell us this Law was Specifically made for men?
Is the entire law about something different than what is stated in it, or just some of the laws?
If just some of the laws, do you have a list of those laws?
Perhaps we should deal with the 10 Commandments first and study all the scriptures regarding the physical requirements stated therein. Then we can move on to other Laws God had written for our sake's no doubt.
or religions thereof) but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
