Subject: Why change order of commandments? |
Bible Note: Joe, My point about the lists used by Protestants and Catholics for Sunday school are that they are both edited for teaching and memorization purposes. And in Deuteronomy you will note that wife is before the posessions, but in Exodus 20:17 the wife is in the middle of the posessessions, so the division there is not as logical as in Deut 5:21. Do you think the Jews venerated the Ark? "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. " How about those angels on the Ark Ex 25:18-20 and the tapestry 26:1 and 1 Kings 6:23-28? How about the brass serpent Num 21:9 and those 1 Kings 7:29 and 1 King 7:36 and 2 Chronicles 4:4? Who told Solomon to add those oxen? How about photos of our deceased loved ones? Do you own any books with illustrations of God, Jesus or the saints? Is one perhaps a Bible? Did the Jews or are you violating the commandment in any of these ways? Or is veneration different from idolatry? Or was God confused giving contradictory orders? "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." Joe, You have already accused me of idolatry directly. Why dance around by implication now? Hindus are not Christians, Catholics are. Of course you may disagree. But the Catholic creed makes it explicit that they do not worship more than one God nor worship statues. Hindus are polytheists. Emmaus |
