The Ten Commandments as part of the Christian religion. Christ on several occasions confirmed the binding character of the Decalogue (Matthew 5:21-27; Mark 7:10, 10:19; John 7:19) and even made them more stringent. He deepened and supplemented them in the Sermon on the Mount, and summed up their obligations in the double precept of loving God and one's neighbor (Matthew 12:29-31).
From the beginning the Church considered the Ten Commandments a standard way of teaching the faithful. At the Council of Trent the theory was condemned that "the Ten Commandments do not pertain at all to Christians" (Denzinger 1569).
There are two arrangements of the Decalogue in use among Christians. The Catholic Church, along with certain Protestants, e.g., Lutherans, follow the Massoretic (traditional) text in combining the two prohibitions about false worship into one. the number ten is made up by dividing the precept against covetousness into the last two commandments.

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
If you aren’t on this Catholic Word of the Day Ping list and would like to be, please send me a FReepmail.
Salvation can I get your perspective of “Thou shall not kill”?
I have asked my priest on this and his response did seam to dispute what the bible says.
I do not see how kill in today’s meaning IE any thing/circumstance stands considering right after God gave the Israelite’s the Commandments he then has them wipe out other nations.
Murder or some other meaning to kill seams like a better fit than kill period.
If you don’t mind I’d like to get your thoughts.
