No. Why would you think that?Originally posted by 2002 Christian
Are you two always trying to discredit or criticize my posts when I come over to this section (One Bread, One Body...)?
*IF* it is relative to whether or not the Sabbath Commandment is included in the Catholic reckoning (which it is), and *IF* people will realize that inflexibly assigning numerals to certain parts of the Commandments as if that is what God intended (which He did not)is not only laughable, but ignorant. The numbers do not change the content of the Commandments, nor do they serve any purpose but convenience.The 4th Commandment can be discussed on THIS thread. Look how much ZooMom has posted about it earlier!
I already said that some people may disagree with the way the Church interprets the Commandments, and that's fine. 'Saturday' is not to be found in the Commandments, or anywhere else in the Bible for that matter. The 'number change' comment has already been addressed by me, so I won't respond to it again."This thread is about the numbering and/or omission of the Ten Commandments in Catholic teaching." How much more specific is the omission of the correct day and the commandment numbering change (from 4th to 3rd)?
To quote a Messianic Jewish friend of mine, "There are no 10 commandments." God wrote the commandments on stone. No chapter and verse, no numbers. Simply commandments to follow.Originally posted by Julie
Did/Could someone post the Catholic 10 commandments that Moses wrote on stone?

Why do you say 'obviously'? Are the Commandments numbered in Scripture or not? Were they numbered in the original texts, or the surviving copies of the original texts? If you think God gives a hoot about whether you put a '3' or a '4' in front of the Sabbath Commandment, then you are laboring under a misconception. The Commandments were written as text, or prose. Not in a list, neatly margined and numbered on two tombstone shaped tablets ala Charlton Heston. Get real.Originally posted by 2002 Christian
Obviously, they were numbered. God knew the numbering, and so did Moses and the Israelites.
Not really. The Catechism merely explains Catholic thought and teaching as regards Divine Revelation. The Scripture is there, as are the Councils, theologians, Doctors, and Saints that have helped the Church grow in her understanding of same. I learned that as a Catholic adult.As a Catholic child, I learned the 10 Commandments from the catechism, not from the Bible. The catechism worded things differently.

p.s. The image isn't sneering. Are you?
Yes, and we were taught that the idols were other gods to the pagans. Many such issues are explained indepth as we gain in age and knowledge. It's just simpler for young children to have a shorter version.Thou shall have no other gods before me is pretty important.
