All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Did you know that Rome has a slightly different version of the Ten Commandments from the original ones that God gave to Moses. They removed the second commandment, altered the forth, and split the tenth into two commandments, 9 & 10

Have a look please and let me know what you think. I have the answers to why they changed it, but thought it would be interesting to see your thoughts and comments on it.

Bible Ten Commandments Catholic Ten Commandments
1st

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

1st

I am the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no strange gods before Me.

2nd

Exodus 20:4-6 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my Commandments.

 

Deleted. See also idolatry in the Catholic Church

(There is idolatry in the Papal system so the second Commandment has been deleted or sometimes it has been absorbed into the first. All remaining Commandments are therefore shifted along one count.)

3rd

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God In vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

2nd

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.

4th

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

3rd

Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

(The Sabbath is the fourth Commandment by normal count. The day to be kept is no longer mentioned since they changed the Sabbath to Sunday.)

(Note that God had more to say about the fourth Commandment than all others and with good reason. It is very important.)

5th

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

4th

Honour thy father and thy mother.

6th

Thou shalt not kill.

5th

Thou shalt not kill.

7th

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

6th

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8th

Thou shalt not steal.

7th

Thou shalt not steal.

9th

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

8th

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

10th

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

9th

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.

(The Tenth Commandment is split into two to get back to Ten Commandments.)

    10th

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
