Answering a question with a question. It's an old tactic, but still lame. You do realize that the way you split up the Decalogue is a tradition, don't you?

And yes, all those are in the Catholic bible. We haven't truncated the Bible like some.

Also, do you realize that some Protestants divide the Decalogue as do the Catholics?

Sure, Luther and others inherited Romes/Augustines list without seeing a dire need to change it. Some prots also believed other roman inventions for a time as well, so?

The reformers primary purpose was to restore the Gospel of Grace thru Faith. Secondary and tertiary issues were just that.

Even though Rome does not include the wording on Idols in Exodus, Lev, Deut, etc... in the commandments, how does Rome justify displaying images of worship that were banned?

That's not true.

    THE FIRST COMMANDMENT

    I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.

There are no images of worship in the Church.

Really, if you had done even a bit of research, the Protestants here wouldn't be making such foolish statements about the division of the Decalogue.
