i don't have a catholic bible so i need help. thanks
There are actually three versions of the Ten Commandments, Jewish, Catholic (and Lutheran), and Protestant taken from Exodus Chapter 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5:6-21.
With the new revelations of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the early Catholic Church, a slightly different emphasis was placed on different commandments.
Then 1500 years later, the Protestant in objecting to certain Catholic practices, once again changed the emphasis of the Ten Commandments.
• Jewish Ten Commandments (before 1000 B.C.E.)
1. I am the Lord your G-d who has taken you out of the land of Egypt.
2. You shall have no other gods but me.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your G-d in vain.
4. You shall remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
5. Honor your mother and father.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

• Catholic (and Lutheran) Ten Commandments (about 100 C.E.)
1. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
3. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it, you shall not do any work.
4. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's.

With love in Christ.
This is how I taught my kids the Catholic list of the 10 Commandments.
I have done research and hear is what I found:
Catholic:

King James Bible: (Exodu 20: 1-11)
1And God spake all these words, saying,
2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8Remember the sabba
Ok it seems like some people think I asked the question to bash...that is absolutely not the reason!
I follow the 10 commandments to the best of my ability, and to be straight forward, why does the Catholic Church into idol worship so much?
To me, it is not enough to simply say that Sacred Tradition is equal to Scripture based upon the decree of the Catholic Magisterium. Like any spiritual teaching, I must compare it to the Bible. Jesus' own words in Matt. 15:3 lend support for myself and many non-Catholics to subject the fruit of Sacred Tradition to the pruning of God's word. In other words, do the teachings of the Catholic Church that are derived through tradition transgress the commands of God? Of course, the Catholic will say that they do not.
When Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees in Matt. 15:1-6, He reprimanded them for not understanding God's word. They were appealing to the tradition of the elders, those who had passed down oral and written tradition. Jesus, on the other hand, exposed their error by citing scripture. Please take note of what He said in Matt. 15:1-6.
"Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, 2'Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.' 3And He answered and said to them, 'And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4'For God said, "Honor your father and mother," and, "He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death."5'But you say, "Whoever shall say to his father or mother, 'Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God,' 6he is not to honor his father or his mother." And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.'"
Whatever might be said about this passage, at least one thing must be observed: The tradition of the religious leaders was subject to the Word of God. Are the religious leaders of the Catholic Church exempt from subjection to the Word of God? And likewise, is their Sacred Tradition also exempt? I think not.
Where the Protestants would interpret Tradition in light of Scripture, it seems that the Catholic Church does the opposite. Consider the following, "The Second Vatican Council indicates three criteria for interpreting Scripture in accordance with the Spirit who inspired it. 1. 'Be especially attentive to the content and unity of the whole Scripture.'. . . 2. 'Read the Scripture within the living Tradition of the whole Church.' . . . 3. 'Be attentive to the analogy of faith.'" (Par. 111, 112, 13, 114).
It is number 2 that is the main concern here. What does it mean to read Scripture "within the living Tradition of the whole Church?" If Scripture is "within the living Tradition," then Tradition encompasses Scripture. In other words, it is the tradition of the Church that interprets Scripture. This is in contradiction to the Word of God spoken by Jesus in Matt. 15:1-6.
Some object and say that the Pharisees didn't have apostolic authority and succession that was ordained by the apostles as does the Catholic Church and, therefore, Matt. 15:1-6 cannot be used to nullify Sacred Tradition.
But the issue in Matt. 15:1-6 is not succession of authority but the traditions of men being used in opposition to the truth of the Word of God. Essentially, the Pharisees were seeing the Word of God "within" their sacred tradition. Jesus, in contrast to this, cited the Word of God to judge their traditions. The apostles, likewise, continuously admonished their people to check their teaching against the Scripture (Acts 17:11), thereby substantiating the position that even what they taught was subject to God's Word. After all, no doctrinal teaching should contradict biblical revelation and the Sacred Word of God was and is the final authority in all things spiritual. The Catholic Church's position and teaching as based on Sacred Tradition are no different. They must be compared to Scripture.
My desire in writing this is not to alienate Catholics nor belittle their beliefs. I believe that there are some Catholics who love the Lord and are saved. But I would like to add that I believe it is in spite of official Roman Catholic doctrine. Nevertheless, it is my opinion that the Catholic Church has added teachings that are not consistent with biblical revelation.
If you are a Catholic, I hope my words do not offend you. Rather, I hope and pray that you would consider what I have to say and compare it with the Word of God.
This is a very serious question. Mature responses only.
And also I was wondering about the 2nd commandment in the Protestant version, which states :
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Does this commandment against images/idols apply to images of Jesus, The Virgin Mary etc.?
I just read the Hebrew version, which seems to be a lot closer to the Protestant one.
You're right.
The Second Commandment concerns IDOLATRY and it was 'skipped over' in the Catholic version... Thus, the rest were renumbered and the 10th Commandment was split up to 9th and 10th commandments.
That is SOMETHING that the RCC herself--and NOT THE FAITHFUL-- SHOULD address and ANSWER to all of us today...
Time is of the essence now.
Peace be with you!

Ex-deacon accused of stealing from Catholic church - Chicago ...
The charges came in the wake of other bad news involving the parish this year. In January, a Shorewood priest was accused of molesting an 8-year-old St. Charles boy while he served as a seminarian at St. Mary's in 2005. Also in January, it was announced the parish's grade school, which had opened in 1922, would close as the result of low enrollment and a deficit that reached $330,000.
Valdez, who was business manager for four years, but a longtime parish member, is charged with 24 counts of theft, two counts of continuing a financial crimes enterprise, and four counts of wire fraud. If convicted he faces up to 30 years in prison.
Authorities say Valdez used parish funds to pay for more than $5,000 in White Sox tickets, more than $5,000 in Bears tickets and $2,500 on hotel rooms for personal use. He also is alleged to have put up to $20,000 into his personal bank and credit card accounts, and he placed his family on the church health plan without paying premiums.

With Easter and passover this week, I thought I’d check in with the staff to see how they’re feeling about religion this week. See their answers below.
With both Easter and Passover this week, it’s an appropriate time to ask: what’s your take on religion? Important social construct or ridiculous social crutch? Something in between? How do you identify? (I guess that was more than one question. Whatevs.)

Raised as a black Roman Catholic, I’ve been Baptized, received First Communion, and got Confirmed. After coming out, and growing up, I’ve grown apart from my religion but my faith has grown stronger. I believe that religion is the foundation for you to discover and build your own faith on. Not every foundation is solid or sound and while many can be built on extreme pretenses or ideas, some can help you grow. My faith is more on my personal relationship with whoever/whatever conducts/guides life. I do believe everything happens for a reason and while there might be a higher power I’m not sure who/what that is. But my faith does help me to try to do good by others and to respect all people of all walks of life.
