Subject: Why change order of commandments? |
Bible Note: Um...both Exodus and Deuteronomy both contain the prohibition against idols: "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me. --Exodus 2:3-5 "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me" --Deuteronomy 5:7-9 Where is there any difference between the so-called "Exodus" version and the so-called "Deuteronomy" version? Seems that I am seeing double here... Another interesting way to settle this disagreement would be to see what the Jewish tradition considers to be the Decalogue. And Catholics do indeed use statues as objects of their veneration. No, I am not saying that anyone thinks that the statue of Mary in the cathedral is really Mary, but the Hindus do not really believe that the statue of Vishnu in their temples is really Vishnu, either. --Joe! |
