Now what is the nonsense about the ten commandments?
Your knowledge of the Bible is also negligible; The one's posted in schools were the broken tablets which were never read according to the Bible. The one's which supposedly were the replacements are different. I don't recall all of them off hand but #10 is: "Thou shalt not seethe a goat in its mothers milk!

Sorry, but both you and clara are incredibly not-up-to-speed where the Hebrew Bible is concerned.

Your knowledge is showing again, I suggest you read the Bible and "The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible" By Abegg, Flynt and Ulrich. The Ten commandments were not among the scriptures until years after Masada. I guess I am not qualified to speak on the subject, I was ordained in 1973, spent twenty years doing research on the Ancient Near East.
The commandments of the broken tablets are in Exodus 20:3 onwards and these came from the broken tablets or the Roman Church after Constantine.
The replacements are in Exodus 34: 17-24!
1. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.?
*
3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep in the month when the ear is on the corn.?*

4. All the first-born are mine.

5. Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh thou shalt rest.

6. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, even of the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

7. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread.

8. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.

9. The first of the first fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God.

10. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.?*?*

Let me know when you are ready to discuss theology Coleman.

The "US Taliban/Tea Party" does not exist. It is deception concocted by Fascists for the purpose of demonizing a group of American citizens who are peacefully expressing an opposition to the Fascism. Only ignorant foreigners and useful idiots fall for this attack on US values.

The hardline right Tea party policies are as stupid and ill founded as the Taliban radicals. Give these Tea Radicals the same power I could see them as cruel; hence the Tea-Taliban!

The ten words were given directly to the Jewish people at Sinai:

As I said; when you are ready to discuss theology let me know!
Quoting material from the Masoretic texts prove nothing, it is a copy of copies written about 1008 CE (AD).
Read "The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible" as I suggested, it was written by experts and they will tell you that the Judaic material is also from the same Masoretic text.

Make the comparison? Sure, Woody. This poster does a better job of it than your caricature does...

wbcoleman, if you fail to recognize the other commandments besides just ten, you're no Jew.

Yes, that's your US Fascist/Us Communist/ US Socialist/Democratic Party for you. Identify an "enemy" to fear so you can give away civil rights to the government so they can fight the "enemy".  But the Tea Party is made up of peaceful citizens who have used the democratic process to redress it's grievances with the government. Nothing more. But if you and Obama had your way, you'd be dropping bombs on Tea Party villages.

The tradition counts 613 commandments, but what is your point?  The aseret ha-dibrot have a special place.  You seem bound and determined to demonstrate that the Hebrew Bible is not an area of personal expertise.

The point in regards to aseret ha-dibrot is that these commandments were never carried in the Ark of the Covenant even if the rest of the Bible is correct. The tablets were broken and the replacements differ!

And as long as you persist in quoting Masoretic Text Revised, you demonstrate that as well.  Or you're a member of the Messianic Jews sect.  That's not orthodox. Plus I notice that you didn't cite specific scripture chapter/verse. I happen to know there's no Ten Commandments in the unrevised Masoretic Text either.

Correct.
