Bible Ten Commandments
vs. the
Roman Catholic Ten Commandments
WE would first like to say that the purpose of this article is not to offend
any people or denomination. This article was put together to make sincere,
honest, truth seeking people aware. There are no doubt millions of people
in the Roman Catholic Church that are not aware of the changes below
and that is no reflection on their faith or love for Christ.
You will find below the very shocking table that shows the Ten
Commandments as personally spoken and written by God using the King
James translation Exodus 20:2-17 and the Ten Commandments as changed
by the Roman Catholic Church in Catechism of the Catholic Church. You
will find a link below to the Vatican's own website. The Roman Catholic
Church believes that their authority stands above the Word of God and that
they can change God's times and laws and God will accept their changes.
You should note that they actually deleted out the second Commandment
and also changed the Biblical fourth Commandment from God's seventh
day Sabbath or Saturday to the first day of the week Sunday. They also
split the tenth Commandment into two, to get back to Ten
Commandments. As a result, the Roman Catholic version of the Ten
Commandment is always one ahead of the King James in the Decalogue
until you get to the tenth Commandment, which they break into two and
make it the ninth and tenth Commandments.
Please take note that the Catholic Encyclopedia Volume 4, p. 152 confirms
the deletion of the second Commandment and the change of the fourth
commandment. They do not try to hide it, but are actually proud of it!
"The church, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath of the
seventh day of the week to the first, made the third commandment refer to
Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord's Day."
Below you will see a shocking excerpt from The Convert's Catechism of
Catholic Doctrine Copyright 1977 by TAN Books and Publishers, pg
50,51. You will notice that they boldly state that the Catholic Church
transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.

3. THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
Q. What is the Third Commandment?
A. The Third Commandment is: Remember that thou keep holy the
Sabbath day.
Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church
transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
Q. Why did the Catholic Church substitute Sunday for Saturday.
A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday, because Christ rose from
the dead on a Sunday, and the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles on
a Sunday.
Q. By what authority did the Church substitute Sunday for Saturday?
A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plenitude of that
divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her.
Q. What does the Third Commandment command?
A. The Third Commandment commands us to sanctify Sunday as the
Lord's Day.
Q. What does the Third Commandment forbid?
A. The Third Commandment forbids (1) The omission of prayer and
divine worship; (2) All unnecessary servile work; (3) Whatever hinders the
keeping of the Lord's Day holy.
Q. Is the desecration of the Lord's Day a grievous matter?
A. The desecration of the Lord's Day is a grievous matter in itself, it
admits of a light matter.
Please do not take our word on this most important subject. We ask you to
study this out for yourselves. You can do your own internet search and
find many Catholic websites confirming what we are showing you here. It
is all out in the open. I will say they are not very consistent in their listing
of the ten commandments. Many times you will find they do mention
graven images, but it is listed in the first commandment. But in their many,
many Catechism writings, they do not mention graven images.
If you click on the underlined text/link below, you will see how the
second, fourth and tenth commandments differ from Exodus chapter 20 in
the Bible. Go to the many Roman Catholic websites below to see for
yourself. Here are the links:

We also had a link to the Vatican's own website showing how the Ten
Commandments have been changed by removing the second
commandment regarding graven images and splitting the tenth
commandment into two commandments, but they have blocked this web
page. Here is the blocked link: Catechism of the Catholic Church
"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men." Matthew 15:9.
