I know your point was to ridicule the Word of God,

Not really. It was more to ridicule those who take things quite literally. Truly, if your duty, as a Christian, is to bring the Good News to all creatures, you must have at least a score of people on your staff who are fluent in dog, cat, horse, chicken, ape, seal, chickadee, etc. Yes? That makes perfect sense to me.

Are the Ten Commandments different for dogs, or do they translate over the same?

Okay, you didn’t read my post. There’s a reason for the word CREATURE that doesn’t include the animal kingdom. To understand it requires you to actually study it from the context of the Scripture. For example, the Christian is called a “new creature” in 2 Corinthians 5:17. He is not turned in to a dog, cat, horse, chicken, ape, seal or chickadee. God created man, and one of Adam’s progenerations was named Webster. But Webster did not take God’s authority from Him to define words as His Spirit determined. Neither Webster or Oxford is the authority for defining biblical terms.

Do you want to know what God was talking about? Or do you just want to continue to ridicule or be ridiculous?
