God's 10 Commandments vs Roman Catholic 10 Commandments

[Root of Jesse]

If you go to the Catholic Douay-Rheims Version, you will find slight changes only, along with a footnote for the Second Commandment, which allows for images and icons, as below:

The ten commandments (Catholic Douay-Rheims vs The Authorized Version).
(Changes shown in green)

[1] And the Lord spoke all these words:
1 And God spake all these words, saying,

[2] I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

[3] Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

[4]Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

[5]Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

[7]Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.

[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.

[10] But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

[11] For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
11For 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.

17 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.

Footnote to the Second Commandment
[4] A graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing: All such images, or likenesses, are forbidden by this commandment, as are made to be adored and served; according to that which immediately follows, thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them. That is, all such as are designed for idols or image-gods, or are worshipped with divine honour. But otherwise images, pictures, or representations, even in the house of God, and in the very sanctuary so far from being forbidden, are expressly authorized by the word of God. See Ex. 25. 15, and etc.; chap. 38. 7; Num. 21. 8, 9; 1 Chron. or Paralip. 28. 18, 19; 2 Chron. or Paralip. 3. 10.

Who authorized the "Authorized Version"?

 

[Job8]

Who authorized the "Authorized Version"?

Obvious not the Pope. But for Protestants in England, and later throughout the world for all non-Catholics, the Authorized Version was "THE English Bible", which was authorized to be read in the churches of the Church of England.

I thought that was the King James Version...anyway, no one with authority authorized the Authorized Version. Got it.

 

[YHWH's Lion]

Actually, Jesus made the summery. Love God, Love your neighbor.

Tell me how are we supposed to love our God? How does that look like?
And I don't mean your opinion but from scripture.

What is love?

 

[YHWH's Lion]

What is love?

why don't you just answer the question.

 

[Root of Jesse]

why don't you just answer the question.

The answer to my question is the answer to your question. Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross is the ultimate definition of love.

 

[YHWH's Lion]

The answer to my question is the answer to your question. Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross is the ultimate definition of love.

That is not the answer to my question, you are dodging my question, if the commandment is to Love God with all of our soul, then how does that look like? And how does that not look like?

 

[Root of Jesse]

That is not the answer to my question, you are dodging my question, if the commandment is to Love God with all of our soul, then how does that look like? And how does that not look like?

Well, love, which is sacrifice, is how we love God. Putting God before anything else. That's how we love God. Putting anything else before God is how we don't love God. I thought it was pretty simple, really.

so things like praying to Mary, altering God's word, following traditions of men, on what side would that fall ? would that be loving God with with all your soul?

 

[EastCoastRemnant]

Do you really think those pictured items are required by our faith?

I don't remember saying required, I just thought it odd that there would be figurines of Popes and it reminded me of how obsessed some people are with their 'heroes'

 

[Root of Jesse]

Why is praying to Mary not loving God? Had we "altered" God's word, of if we were following traditions of me, that might, or might not be loving God with with all your soul. But we haven't "altered" God's word, and what we're required to follow are traditions given us by the Holy Spirit, so not sure what you're asking.

You can make fun of people's figurines, if you want. Laugh it up, fuzzball! I have model trains, go ahead, make fun! I could care less. What I do care about is what's required for salvation, and what you posted is not that.

Not laughing... and I'm confused by the term fuzzball?

Btw, I'm glad you have a hobby you enjoy...

 

[Root of Jesse]

It's a Star Wars reference.

Btw, I'm glad you have a hobby you enjoy...

I also enjoy going to decent movies. Decent in terms of morality, at least.

What is love?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
