Sometimes when the air is full of projectiles, it's just not worth the effort to step out of the way of something as light as thistledown.
CynicalBear compares and contrasts and obvious summary of the Decalogue with ONE of the TWO Biblical presentations of the Ten Commandments, though he doesn't mention the other presentation in Deut 5:4-21.
For CynicalBear to call the truncated version the Catholic ten commandments is as silly as it would be if I used his post that Protestants don't include Deuteronomy in the Bible.
In fact, it is so embarrassingly fallacious, that decent people would ignore it as one might ignore inadvertent flatulence at a tea party.
But when that gentle courtesy is thrown in our face with the suggestion that we have no answer ... well, what answer is appropriate to flatulence at a tea party?
But here, since you ask for this tedium, are "the Catholic ten commandments":
And here they are from Dt 5:CHAPTER 20
The Ten Commandments.* 1Then God spoke all these words:
2a I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,b out of the house of slavery. 3You shall not have other gods beside me.* 4You shall not make for yourself an idolc or a likeness of anything* in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; 5you shall not bow down before them or serve them.d For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their ancestors wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation*; 6but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain.* e For the LORD will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name in vain.
8Remember the sabbath daykeep it holy.* 9Six days you may labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God.f You shall not do any work, either you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your work animal, or the resident alien within your gates. 11For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day he rested.g That is why the LORD has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.*
12* h Honor your father and your mother, that you may have a long life in the land the LORD your God is giving you.i
14You shall not commit adultery.k
16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.m
17You shall not covet your neighbors house. You shall not covet your neighbors wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.n
The Decalogue. 6d I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,e out of the house of slavery. 7f You shall not have other gods beside me. 8You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; 9* you shall not bow down before them or serve them. For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous* God, bringing punishment for their parents wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation, 10but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.I really don't have the energy or inclination to pick through the html to remove the notes and links to notes.11You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain.g For the LORD will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name in vain.
12h Observe the sabbath daykeep it holy, as the LORD, your God, commanded you. 13Six days you may labor and do all your work, 14but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God. You shall not do any work, either you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your ox or donkey or any work animal, or the resident alien within your gates, so that your male and female slave may rest as you do. 15Remember that you too were once slaves in the land of Egypt, and the LORD, your God, brought you out from there with a strong hand and outstretched arm. That is why the LORD, your God, has commanded you to observe the sabbath day.
16i Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD, your God, has commanded you, that you may have a long life and that you may prosper in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
17j You shall not kill.*
18k You shall not commit adultery.
19l You shall not steal.
20m You shall not bear dishonest witness against your neighbor.
21n You shall not covet your neighbors wife.
You shall not desire your neighbors house or field, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
I will point out, though, that when CynicalBear presented this truncation as "the Catholic ten commandments" he gave no link or citation, or any authority whatsoever for calling them that. and in the face of that absence of reference, the polite ignoring of this travesty was deemed worthy of mockery.
It is said that viewing too much pornography weakens the sexual capability of men. I would propose an analogy: reading sites like Watchman Bible Study may weaken the thought process, with results like presenting what is obviously a summary, possibly for use with children, as "the Catholic ten commandments."
Yes, this was harsh. But you mocked gentleness.
The very start of the Reformation was initiated when William Tyndale and others translated the scriptures from the original languages and found profound differences from the Catholic version in Latin. To this day the Catholics are encouraged to use a Catholic version of scripture. The traditional Catholic version of the ten commandments that is listed many places for all to see excludes much or all of the second commandment and most all of us know it.
Throughout these threads I have noted multiple differences in the Catholic version of scripture. Some were subtle word changes; some were blatant errors from the original language. I was using the example of the Ten Commandments as one illustration of how the scriptures have been manipulated by the RCC. All of us know that the Catholic Church has not in years past encouraged personal ownership of the written word. Much of it was prior to the availability of the printed word which only increases the responsibility of the Church to be true and faithful to the original language of scripture which it wasnt. That was graphically illustrated when Tyndale and others began to translate from the original language and found those differences and errors.
You can call the Tradition version of the Catholic Ten Commandments truncated, a perversion, a travesty, or whatever you want but it stands that most if not all of the published Catholic version of the Ten Commandments differs from scripture. That is the travesty.
You can insinuate pornography or attempt to obfuscate by referencing and insinuating that we get our information from cultic sites all you want. It still remains that official Catholic sites point to the differences and can be easily referenced for those who seek truth.
Your version of harsh doesnt even come close to the harsh that those who have been misled by the RCC by the Catholic version of scriptures and their teachings. Ill simply close by using the words of scripture in Revelation. Come out of her.
