7 The Ten Commandments
Considering the importance of the ten commandments to so many people, you would think they would have a clear idea of how they are defined, but most people do not. The Bible does not list a consistent set of 10 commandments at all. In Exodus, the list includes 14 or 15 “statements”. Though the Bible does refer to a set of “10″ rules, it does not mention them in the same sections as the list commonly known as the ten commandments. Different Christian sects have divided the list of commandments up differently. The Catholic Church combines the first 3 statements in to one commandment, and the Protestants combine the final two in to one statement. You can see a complete list of the differences here. To add to the confusion, there is also another set of 10 commandments called the Ritual Decalogue which includes laws such as “Do not cook a kid in its mother’s milk”. [Exodus 20]
十誡
想到世界對如此之多的人的重要性，你也許會認為他們很清楚地知道十誡是如何被定義的，但事實上很多人并不知道。圣經中根本沒有給出一致的十誡。在出埃及中，那份列表包括了14或15條“戒律”。雖然圣經確實提到過“10”條紀律，但它并沒有在通常被認為是十誡的那部分中再次提到這些。不同的基督宗教派別有各自不同的十誡。天主教把前三條紀律歸并成一誡，而新教則將后兩條紀律合并成一誡。從 這里你可以看出區別所在。更讓人困惑的是，還有另外一系列十誡稱作摩西的十誡，其中包括“不可用山羊羔母親的奶煮山羊羔”。[出埃及 20]
