Which is kind of irrelevant when they changed the Ten commandments and renumbered them to still equal ten.

Until one actually studies the Bible and prophecy and sees this attempt to “change set times and law” was predicted. Daniel 7:25. The only commandment having anything to do with time......is the holy Sabbath time. The literal 24 hour period God set aside and made holy. Kept throughout the entire Bibly by God’s people and Christ himself.
How ironic. The ONLY change of the weekly holy day in scripture was a prophecy showing the great counterfeit would attempt to change it.
Never tamper with God’s holy things.......do it at your own risk. “The Sabbaht was made for man”..Mark 2:26. And it was made in Genesis......Genesis 2:1 and 2.
Do you have any non-generic posts regarding dual covenant theology or responses to my #51 post?
“The Catholic Church hasn’t changed the Ten Commandments but follows a traditional numbering based on Deuteronomy 5 and Exodus 20, as summarized in the Catechism. Both Catholic and Protestant versions cover the same core commandments, just organized differently due to historical interpretations. For example, Catholics combine the prohibition on other gods and idols into one commandment, while Protestants often split them. The substance remains the same.
The Ten Commandments appear in Exodus 20:2–17 and Deuteronomy 5:6–21, but the biblical text doesn’t explicitly number them as “first,” “second,” etc.
The division into ten is a later interpretive choice, and different traditions have grouped the verses slightly differently:
Both the Catholic AND Lutheran numbering are based on the tradition of St. Augustine (5th century), Catholics combine the prohibition against “no other gods” and “no graven images” (Exodus 20:3–6) into the first commandment, emphasizing the unity of worshiping God alone. To maintain ten commandments, Catholics then split the prohibition on coveting (Exodus 20:17) into two: coveting a neighbor’s wife (ninth) and coveting goods (tenth).
Most non Lutheran Protestant: Many Protestants, following some Jewish traditions and later Protestant reformers like John Calvin, treat “no other gods” (Exodus 20:3) as the first commandment and “no graven images” (Exodus 20:4–6) as the second. They then combine the coveting prohibitions (Exodus 20:17) into a single tenth commandment.
The Bible doesn’t number the commandments explicitly, so early Christians, like Augustine, grouped them in a way that made sense theologically. Catholics follow his approach, combining the worship of God alone into one commandment, while Protestants split it into two and combine the coveting commands. Neither changes the text; it’s just a different way to count to ten
