The "Catholic" Ten Commandments?

[Wolseley]

What raised my eyebrows as a kid and a young adult is that the 10 commandments listed in my NAB bible....you know on a seprate insert...graven images are not mentioned.

I have that same insert. I think the reason is that you can only go into so much depth on an insert; therefore, you get a "barebones" listing, and it's up to the catechists, the parents, and the kid to find out more as they go along.

I have a Protestant children's Bible that I had as a kid, and the rendition of 1 Samuel 24 is that David finds Saul sleeping in the cave of Engedi, and cuts off a section of his robe, when in reality, the actual text relates that Saul went into the cave to take a dump.

But I didn't get too excited about it; after all, it is slanted for children, after all. Same with the 10 Commandments insert.

LOL... You have such a way with words, Wolseley.

So did God number them or have them in an order that He wanted them in?

To Julie:

In the original Hebrew, there WAS no numbering. It was just one long commandment.

Do you think God told Moses there were 10, just to see how they would divide them?

As I suggested above, either the Jews were wrong from the time of Moses in their numbering of the 10 and Jesus didn't correct them, OR the Catholic Church is wrong in their numbering. Which is it? Can BOTH be right?

Keep in mind that the 10 C's were probably the most important aspect of their religion, since it was the only part of scripture written by God Himself. Like, duh, how could they mis-number them?

Why does the numbering matter? It seems like you're just nitpicking.
