.... but I want my neighbor's wife and property (if only for a short bit)....
Not that I really care either way.... but one of my neighbor's is an ass, and his wife needs to be screwed with a barb-wire rubber... just to "loosen her up" a bit.
Guess I'm going to hell....

What is commonly called the Ten Commandments is a list of more than ten commands and prohibitions addressed to the Hebrew people. The last of these deals with coveting things that belong to your neighbor, or in other words, fellow Hebrews.
The Commandments were meant to list those things that were necessary for a people to be able to live together in amity. They deal with worship, group relations and personal actions and responsibility.

well vile pagan you are correct in chosing C. Believe it or not, this prohibition says thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk(I hope they were talking about goats). (Exodus 34:26) is the official tenth commandment, for the only set of stone tablets that were called "the ten commandments". There were three set of commandments: 1)the first time moses came down Mount Sinai, with commandments, he merely recited a list(Exodus 20:2-17), which is the version most churches today erroneously call the "Ten Commandments." 2)the firsrt set of stone tablets ere given to Moses at a subsequent trip up the mountain(Exodus 31:18). Then Moses supposedly destroyed these tablets when he saw the people worshipping the golden calf. (Exodus 32:19). 3)So he went back for a replacement. God told Moses:"Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first:and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest."(Exodus 34:1) Here is what was on the replacement tablets(from Exodus 34:14-26). 1)Thou shalt worship no other God.2)Thous shalt make thee no molten gods. 3)The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep.4)Six days thou shalt work,but on the seventh day thou shalt rest.5)Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks.6)Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God.7)Thou shalt no offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven.8)Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the morning.9)The first of the firstfruits of thy land shalt thou bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. 10)thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Keep this in mind net time you are tempted to boil a goat.

You never seem to quote the entire scripture or even try to show the meaning of it. You only set out to describe your own agenda with no regard for the truth.
It's unadulterated ignorance and the one thing I see Atheist fight the most to avoid.
Which leaves you in a class all your own.

If you chose to believe that you "have it all figured out" and don't want to follow any "fairy tales", so be it. If you think that attacking those that have a belief in something that you think is "silly", then, you sir, are no more than a troll and a fool.

You do know what your in danger of when you call someone a fool don't you? I guess you don't know your bible so well! Where did I say that I have it all figured out"? I didn't. And that is just a stupid statement on your part. And why would you want to ask me for answers if you claim I'm a fool? Wouldn't that make you even more of one? Seeing your previous silly post I would assume your not worth debating because like Inviolable you don't know how but you certainly know how to call people names when you can't think of anything else to say!

Yes, personal actions like loving your neighbor, which meant loving your jewish neighbors. It did not mean loving the neighboring tribes or other outsiders. As the intolerant and bloody old testament (and Christian) history proves!

afinertouch5,
You seem to have an excess of vitriol and a shortness of historical knowledge. Of course the Hebrews were most interested in keeping close relations among themselves. They were basicallly on a constant war footing and had to remain united. They were surrounded by enemies on all sides and unification was their only hope. If they allowed themselves to be seperated they would have been overwhelmed by their enemies.
The Hebrews (Abiru) were a relatively small, wandering tribe trying to form a homeland after being held in bondage in Egypt. Of course they didn't love their neighbors. They were competing with their neighbors for a limited amount of fertile land with sufficient water and grazing. As the Egyptian Empire was breaking up the Hebrews were fighting the Canaanites, Amonites, Kedarites, Moabites, Edomites, Geshuites, Aramites and other groups for the land. They were an invading force trying to displace the people who were already there.

I have a close, personal relationship with God.
I started out by addressing Him as Your Holiness, and/or Father.
Eventually, he just put His hand on my shoulder and said,
"Please, just call me Skip."
"Skip?" I exclaimed. "What kind of name is that for an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God?"
"It's a memory tool. Reminding you of the consequences."
"Consequences of what, Your Holin.... uh, I mean Skip?"
"Oh, I don't know," He grinned as he slipped on His motorcycle helmet and threw His leg over His Vespa scooter. "Why don't you try skipping church, skip donating to the collection plate, skip being good to others, or skipping your daily prayers? Then see what happens to you."
He hit the starter button, and motored on down the driveway and out onto the highway.
"What?" I cried. "Will I go to hell or what?"
No response from God. He rode His Vespa on down the road and out of sight, and all that remained was a blue trail of 2-cycle oil smoke.
"And bring some BEER next time you come, okay??" I shouted.
"Darn God," I muttered. "Drops by for a cold one, never brings his own beer, and speaks in riddles to boot."
I kicked a small pebble, and turned to go inside.
"This religion business is complicated. Kind of makes my head hurt."
I went inside and cracked open another beer.

So in essence, what you are saying, is that the ten commandments are not for everyone? Just the Herbrews!

True, and it seems so today.
John Hagee said this morning that the leader of Iran said that he wanted to see an end to Israel and the United States.
Hagee then said that Russia is the kingdom of the north and wants to be a super power again. This can be accomplished with the oil that is in the Middle East. He said that sometime in the future Russia will send military specialists to Iran and other parts of the Middle East to lead the Moslems against Israel to destroy them.
Hagee next said that at this time the god of the Moslems (Allah) will come up against the god of Abraham, and 3 out of 4 Moslems will be destroyed by some supernatural means, and those left alive will return home defeated.
Opinions?
I do not think I can help on this one, I will try.
I cannot pronounce the name of god, let alone spell it.
It rhymes with a beautiful sunset.
It sounds like a child's voice at play.
It smells like a red rose in bloom.
It feels like the touch of a loved one- reassuring another.
It looks like the gentle wind blowing the trees on a cool spring day.
I just can't quite get the pronunciation correct!

But you ask rational questions which --when they are unable to answer them-- cause them to look foolish for "believing in" the preposterous notion of some "god" in the sky. That shames them and infuriates them.
But then, all superstionists become enraged when their insupportable, nonsensical beliefs are dragged into the light of day.

This thread illustrates the danger of trying to interpret biblical verses without benefit of a good concordance. People pick a particular Bible verse as afinertoch5 does and attempt to use it as a weapon to refute The Bible.
The verses discussing seething a kid in its mother's milk refer to a religious practice of the Canaanites by which they boiled a young kid in its mother's milk and then annointed their growing crops with the milk as a form of fertility rite. The Hebrews are being enjoined to not follow heathen customs but to rather tithe by giving of the firstborn and best of their flocks and herds. The firstborn of their flocks have taken the place of the firstborn children demanded by Moloch, a god worshiped by many of their neighbors.

Did you know Jesus is mentioned in the Torah and a few Talmud'?
Not as a saviour, but as a teacher.
Good eating was one of his topics. Which is recited by a Rabbi from one of the ten commandments.
Which commandment you ask..
The tenth.
Which describes ways of avoiding sickness and staying healthy when it comes to food.

A cross reference is worth looking at in Deut. 5.7-21.
Given that words are meant to convey ideas, can you admit that it is a bit disingenuious (or at least a trick question!) to refer to anything else as "The Ten Commandments," since that original collection, also known as the Decalogue, is widely accepted by that name?

So, you want me to start a thread that ask why you ask about Gods names?The point to "why ask?" is that right next to the Ritual Decalogue in Exodus, at v.14, there is the statement which says; "...the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God."
Finertouch is trying to point out, it seems, in this thread and the one re the Ten Commandments, that people are not so aware of the roots of their religion, its little weirdnesses, or are not very familiar with the text they claim to adore...or some such thing. That's my guess. (Am I close?)

Well I was not posting what I thought was a disingenious question, but I guess you might think it is a trick question but don't blame me for apparent contradictions in the bible. The first time moses came down Mount Sinai with commandments, he merely recited a list(Exodus 20:17),which is the version most churches today call the "Ten Commandments"(I am not disagreeing with that)although they were not engraved in stone tablets and not called the ten commandments. The first set of stone tablets were given to Moses at a subsuquent trip up the mountain(Exodus 31:18). In this story, Moses destroyed the tablets when he saw the people worshipping the golden calf(Exodus 32:19). So then Moses went back for a replacement. God told Moses:"Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first:and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables,which thou breakest.(Exodus 34:1). Here is what was on the replacement tablets(from Exodus 34:14-26) 1)Thou shalt worship no other God. 2)Though shalt make thee no molten gods.3)The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep.4)Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest.5)Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks.6)Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God.7)Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven.8)Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the morning.9)The first of the first fruits of they land shalt thou bring unto the house of the Lord thy God.10)Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. This list differs from the one in Exodus 20 but it is called the "Ten Commandments""And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments."(Exodus 34:28). I know the version used by most people is different,however it does say this is the ten comandments. So this seems to me to be a contradiction.

Yes it does and I keep telling you, if youre going to put the bible under such examination you should check them all out.
The Torah would be helpful here.
Did you know Jesus is mentioned in the Torah and a few Talmud'?
Not as a saviour, but as a teacher.
Good eating was one of his topics. Which is recited by a Rabbi from one of the ten commandments.
Which commandment you ask..
The tenth.
Which describes ways of avoiding sickness and staying healthy when it comes to food.
roughly 3 thousand years ago.
Here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashrut
and here
http://www.kolel.org/pages/5762/reeh.html
In one of the post I left for you when you got here I told you Frogger knows more then you do so listen to him, which you have yet to do.
The Torah is made up of mostly OT books, Jewish law.
The original Torah is made up of 4 OT books, new information has been added to it over the years in the form of a Talmud.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah
The teaching lesson is over from here on out, I am just going to slam you in debate.
Well the only thing you have taught me is how hard-headed you are. And I read Mr. Frogger condescending replys to me. He has bashed me since I have been here. Just like you little man.

You are so full of crap your eyes are brown. Almost every question you have posted since joining Allforums has been disingenuous. The common understanding of the Ten Commandments is the one posted by Shilohproject. That is the one posted in courthouses, in churches, and in synagogues. There is a bit of disagreement between the Roman Catholic Church and the major Protestant bodies about the exact ordering and wording but those are the accepted Ten Commandments. When is the last time someone recited, "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk", as one of the Ten Commandments.
You were not at all interested in knowing what the last of the Ten Commandments is. You once again were playing your childish little mind games and picking one of the more obscure text, a text that while it shares a bit of the same as the generally accepted one could be considered technically right by a nitpicker.

And you should know you can't pick all four answers in a multiple choice. There was no answer that said all of the above. Sometimes the name of God is described as "holy" but the name itself is not "Holy" In Isaiah 29:23 the name of God is given as "The Holy one of Jacob." The name "Jehovah" is a christian mistake. It was forbidden to pronounce the name "YHWY"(Yahweh), and readers of the Herbrew scriptures were suppose to say "Adonai" in its place. In written text the vowels of Adonai were combined with the consonants YHWH to remind readers to pronounce Adonai instead of Yahweh. The incorrect hybrid, "Jehovah" arose from Christian misunderstanding in the late Middle Ages.
Frogger
07-30-2007, 09:02 AM
And you should know you can't pick all four answers in a multiple choice.
Perhaps you should learn how to better compose multiple choice questions, afinertouch5. If you don't have choices such as both A and B, none of the above or all of the above you had better be sure there is only one correct answer.
Since for the majority of us English is our first language and The Bible we read is in English the name Jehovah is indeed one of the names of God.
If you wish to pull your technical garbage then none of the choices you gave are correct since none of them were in either ancient Hebrew or Aramaic.
If you want to play your little pedandic games it would help if you were a wee bit more intelligent.

This would still not be a Bible contradiction, would it? Does the Bible say they are both The Ten Commandments? (Notice caps.)? For something to say that "he wrote down the ten commandments," it may simply be that the number of commandments he wrote down were ten. But when we speak of The Ten Commandments we are refering to the decalogue. And even if that naming were "contradictory" to scripture it would not support a claim that the Bible is contradictory in that matter; rather, we call it something that is extra-Biblical, like, say, the Rapture.
If you wish to find contradictory passages, or those at distinct tension with one another, you can do better.
