10 Commandments: But which version? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-06-21  

As some of you may know, there is no definitive list of the 10 Commandments. Instead the list is constructed from verses in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. This construction is in fact an exercise in sectarian theology.

In short, the version of the Ten Commandments you use depends on whether you are Protestant or Catholic or Jewish, or …

And these differences carry theological significance for adherents. Wikipedia has some basic details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments.

The Hill has an article spelling out the differences and the implications for Catholics. https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/4684714-louisiana-wants-the-ten-commandments-in-schools-but-which-version/
