What You Have Been Taught about the Ten Commandments is Probably Wrong!

Everybody knows about the Ten Commandments, so let’s have some fun and see what we really do know. It will just a about 10 minutes to do the following.

#1 - Without looking in your Bible or at anything else, find the commandments in Exodus 20, the traditional source of the Ten Commandments. Click Here -- http://biblicalheritage.org/DTB/Exodus%2020%20Text.pdf  -- to download and print the texts of Exodus 20 without the verse markers. Read the text and when you come to the end of a commandment insert a slash, like those in the example below:

“You shall not commit adultery. / You shall not steal. / You shall not bear false witness against”

Put the number of the commandment above the sentence & when you finish see if you have 10 commandments.

#2 - After you finish locating the commandments in Exodus 20, down load the “Three Versions of the Ten Commandments” by Clicking Here -- http://biblicalheritage.org/DTB/Ten%20Commandments%20Three%20Versions.pdf .  

Compare your version with the other three.

#3 – Is there a chance that all of the versions above are wrong? Read our latest newsletter -- What You Have Been Taught about the Ten Commandments is Probably Wrong! – by Clicking Here -- http://biblicalheritage.org/DTB/0913DTB_Ten_Commandments.pdf

The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew   sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

The Moment the Humans Created Shame in the Garden in Eden

For readers of most English translations, this is a story about two naked people who didn’t know they were naked until they ate the forbidden fruit . The reason God told them to not eat that fruit was because he didn’t want them to know they were naked or he was testing their obedience to him . As I pointed out in earlier emails, the serpent wasn’t Satan and this was not a battle between God and Satan over the souls of all people who will ever live.

“ The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil ” is not only a tree in the center of the Garden in Eden – it is the center of the entire story . So, what is it?
