| Nov 10, 2017 at 3:37 | comment | added | Ruminator | Well, the sermon on the mount adds to don't murder with don't hate for example. | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 3:34 | comment | added | James Shewey | @Ruminator - In Matthew 23, Jesus was not adding to them, but summarizing the commandments: each commandment can either be seen as showing honor/love toward God or honor/love towards one's neighbor. Hence the genius of Jesus response to "which is the greatest commandment" - his answer is basically: "all of them" in a way that would have been indisputable by the pharisees. He then goes on to play "stump the chump" with the pharisees, further eviscerating them. Or were you referring to some other commandments? | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 3:25 | comment | added | Ruminator | Didn't Jesus also add to the commandments? | |

| Nov 10, 2017 at 3:14 | comment | added | James Shewey | I am speaking of the 613 mitvot specifically, but only as an exemplar. I am not referring to these exclusively, but merely using them as an example of kinds of doctrines and dogma to be avoided. So, yes, I am partially referring to the traditions added to the law, but also even the pharisees interpretation of the law (not merely that which was added). This means yes, I am saying the Pharisaic teaching of Matt 23 pertains to the Ten Commandments exclusively. | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 3:07 | comment | added | Pilgrim | So are you saying that the "teaching" of Matt. 16 to be avoided is the "traditions" which were added to the Law, whereas the Pharisaic teaching of Matt. 23 regards the Ten Commandments? (By the way, anything commanded is considered a mitzvah.) | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 2:56 | comment | added | James Shewey | @Pilgrim - I have made some substantial edits to endeavor to better answer the question. | |
