I would encourage all Christians to study the full text of the 10 Commandments...not a summary version.

Trouble is with the summaries there are 3 possible enumerations of the same text: Modern Jews name what Christians call introductory "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt..." as the number one command. Roman Catholics and Lutherans call the "no other gods" and "no graven images" command one command, and split the last covet command into 2 parts. Eastern Orthodox and Protestants split "no other gods" and "no images." All 3 traditions have their basis in Jewish tradtion--and there is no number division in the text itself (though the Torah does speak of the 10 commandments...so we do know Moses numbered them into 10, just not exactly how).

So....read the whole text itself, not someone elses division of them. (Exodus 20, Deut. 5)
