Christ gave Christians a new commandment, Mathew 22;37-40
"He said to him: "' You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind," This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, 'You must love your neighbor as yourself." On these two commandment the whole law hangs and the Prophets."

Simply, I have a collection of Bibles and I use google to access more. They contradict each other. One infamous set of commandments were set in a courthouse rotunda. The original ten commandments directly translated from Hebrew have, at least, 500 words. If you add the Laws of "God" the total is well over a thousand words.

Are you talking about when Moses destroyed the first set of Commandments because after he came down from the mount and he saw the people sinning he got so angry that he broke the tables and later God re-wrote them again when he went back up on the mount. If so, that is in Exodus 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

THen in Ex 34:1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

There were two separate sets of stone tablets, but the commandments were not different. Moses broke the first one when he came down from the mountain and found the people had returned to idolatry.

There are no 2 sets of commandments....Jesus did speak of 2 commandments ...and " On these 2 commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets." But since you go to church...you should know where to find this verse. It might be helpful for you to read Proverbs 16 :16 and 18 :15.

Exodus 20 begins the Ten Commandments.

“Deuteronomy” (meaning “repetition of the law”)
Moses reminded Israel at length of what the Lord required of them as his people if they were to cross the Jordan, take possession of the promised land and there enjoy the promised “rest” in fellowship with him. It was a word that Israel needed to hear over and over again.

Are you referring to the set that was broken? Exodus 32:15-20, Exodus 34.

Exodus 20 (the original stone tablets later smashed by Moses)

and Exodus 34

or Deuteronomy 5

(but if you went to church, you would know about that wouldn't you?)

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.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your G-d in vain.
4. You shall remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
5. Honor you mother and father.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

+ Catholic (and Lutheran) Ten Commandments (about 100 AD)

1. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
3. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it, you shall not do any work.
4. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ***, or anything that is your neighbor's.
