These words about the commandments are in Deut 4:2 ; You must not add anything to the charge I decree or take anything away from it; you must carry out the commandments of the Lord our God which I lay upon it.
Now some say the church founded by Jesus are allowed to change the 10 commandments. Christianity appears to be a religion of paradoxes and contradictions.

20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, 20:2 I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 20:4 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:
20:5 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; 20:6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
20:7 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. 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

20:10 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: 20:11 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.
20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbour. 20:17 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 ***, nor any thing that [is]
thy neighbour's.

Above is the quote that is the base of my question. The changes are all around us and some would have the changed commandments in our classrooms and courts.

Ten Commmandments for Kids
(Exodus 20:1-17)
Have no other gods but God.
Do not worship statues.
Be careful with God's name.
Keep Sunday special.
Honor your father and mother.
Do not murder.
Keep your marriage promises.
Do not steal.
Do not lie.
Do not covet.

Christians
1. I am the Lord your God... 6. Do Not Kill
2. You Shall Not Make Graven Images 7. Do Not Commit Adultery
3. Do Not Take God's Name in Vain 8. Do Not Steal
4. Keep Holy the Lord's Day 9. Do Not Lie
5. Honor your Father and Mother 10. Honor Your Neighbor's Goods
Nuff said.

Christianity is paradoxes and contradictions, you're right. There were actually more than ten commandments - the others were more detailed, I think 40 more. They were written on stone and too heavy to carry all at once. Moses didn't get around to getting those, and we'll never know.

The Bible clearly states that nothing in it and no words of the Lord shall be changed. Christianity is not a religion of paradoxes and contradictions, humans are. You cannot blame the mistakes of Christians on the Bible or God. It is not easy being a Christian since everyone around them is watching like a hawk waiting for them to mess up. We were all created in the image of God, but we were not created as perfect.

That's nothing. God allowed humans to change God's gender. History show that originally about the time of Egyptian Civilization, God was always considered to be a woman. All religions hide this fact.

First of all Jesus never founded ANY church or religion...he was Jewish, not Christian. The bible was written by mankind in a superstitious time...yes, God speaks to people and they profess to know his wisdom...however... most of what was "professed" back them was passed by word of mouth and we all KNOW how that goes. (please try to convince me that there was a person following along behind Moses with pad and pen writing down his EVERY WORD???? and just where are those stone tablets now with the commandments written on them?

Christianity didn't change the ten commandments. It didn't even change the penalty for breaking them, which is death. Somebody's death. Blood sacrifice.
Christianity is God providing the atoning sacrifice for His own list of requirements to perfection.

I have never seen any true churches of Jesus change any of the commandments.

We are not allowed to change the 10 commandments. I am not sure who thinks we can but they are mistaken.

Because God is testing you to see how much you hate Him. It would not be fair to send you to hell otherwise.
