Did you know that Catholics and Protestants have a different version of the Ten Commandments?
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 B.C.E.) 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 your 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. Source:
