Do you know the 10 Commandments? Can you name just three?

Question

Wow! I'm amazed at the response I'm getting here...

Answer 1

There are actually three versions of the Ten Commandments, Jewish, Catholic (and Lutheran), and Protestant taken from Exodus Chapter 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5:6-21.

With the new revelations of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the early Catholic Church, a slightly different emphasis was placed on different commandments.

Then 1500 years later, the Protestant in objecting to certain Catholic practices, once again changed the emphasis of the Ten Commandments.

+ Jewish Ten Commandments (before 1000 BC)

1. I am the Lord your G-d who has taken you out of the land of Egypt.
2. You shall have no other gods but me.

Answer 7

Of course I can - don't be silly. They are written in Exodus 20. Do I really need to name them for you? You could read them for yourself, ya know. Do you know the command Jesus added? In John 13:34, Jesus said, "I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you."

Answer 8

Are you one of those people who want the 10 Commandments posted in every government office building?

Yes, I know the 10 Commandments. I was in a cult as a child and I had to learn them (among other Bible verses.) I never found the set particularly useful and I'm not going to lay them out here.

There are 2 laws: Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself. Those work just fine for me.

Answer 9

come on thats too easy. but really do you know that the commandements were written 1500 yrs before moses by the summerians. in summerian texts. also the commandements do not have any penalty attached to them? they should be called the ten suggestions on how one should lead their life. most christians do not even follow them anyway. One of them is keep holy the sabath. the sabath has allways been saturday. It was changed by constantine in 321 ad in a document called the venerable day of the sun.(can be looked up on the web) most christians think sunday is their day. they argue that because they believe sunday jesus rose from the grave. also voted on in the councel of nicea in 324 ad. in reality jesus was taken off the cross on wednsday. the bible says that he was taken down before passover and since passover is allways on thursday the truth is revealed. alot of what christianity believes to be true was dictated by the romans in the third century. my view is if it makes them happy good. you dont have to believe in the truth to be happy.. just believe i guess

Answer 10

Yep. 3? Okay.

Let's see...do not use the Lord's name in vain, thou shalt not murder, honor thy father and mother.

Why? Any idiot who wanted to rule could come up with 10 good commandments.
