Interesting, apparently as a former Lutheran I learned the Catholic version. Seems it is even worse than that link suggests though, as there are two texts which are considered to be the 10 commandments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Two_texts_with_numbering_schemes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Two_texts_with...
How was I not aware of this...
- fusiongyro 14y agoBecause Christians are generally speaking quite ignorant of the Old Testament, and not infrequently the New as well. Every religious Jew on earth is well aware of this, and if you read the two versions side-by-side you'll see the differences are stylistic and not substantive--the shade of difference between "honor" and "love" or "remember" and "observe" is just not that great, though our practices often are explained as owing to these distinctions. If you are looking for something about the Bible to be upset about, you can certainly do a lot better than this.
