Original sentence: He uses as an example the notion that God gets angry with people who do wrong.In the view of Maimonides, God does not actually get angry with people, but it is important for them to believe God does, so that they desist from sinning.Maimonides explicitly drew a distinction between "true beliefs", which were beliefs about God which produced intellectual perfection, and "necessary beliefs", which were conducive to improving social order.Maimonides places anthropomorphic statements about God in the latter class
Edited sentence: In a number of places Maimonidean scholars have pointed out what they see as major discrepancies between Maimonides' preached to the general public, and what his works implied when read according to his specific instructions.These scholars note that Maimonides explicitly drew a distinction between "true beliefs", which were beliefs about God which produced intellectual perfection, and "necessary beliefs", which were conducive to improving social order.This distinction is not made by any recent Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) commentators, suggesting that in their view all principles are equally vital.This issue was first discussed by his own student, Samuel ibn Tibbon, and a number of later classical rabbinic scholars; this issue has again become a matter of discussion among modern-day Maimonidean scholars
