We interrupt this flame war for a cultural exchange.

I was reading Pariah's post about the Ten Commandments, and I finally discovered the difference between the Jewish Ten Commandments and the Christan TC. For a long time, whenever I hear Christians quote the commandments, they use different numbering for the commandments than we do, and I've always been curious how that happened and what they did differently. Now I see how it's different.

Example:

Quote:

Pariah said:
1) I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods Before me.



In Judaism, these are two separate commandments.

Quote:

3) Remember thou keep holy the Lords day.



It's not actually called the Sabbath? Interesting.

Quote:

9) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.

10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.



For us, this is one single commandment.

Also, in Judaism, although the Ten Commandments are considered to be among the 613 commandments, they're also considered to be categories that the rest of the commandments fall into.

This concludes the cultural exchange. We now return you to your flame war.
