Matthew Stuckey here and I just want to make a quick video referencing the Ten
Commandments and show the difference between the Ten Commandments and what
the Bible says and what the Catholic Church says. And I was actually out for a
walk the other day and I came across these two tablets that said Aung Sam Phum
Utus, which is the Ten Commandments. And I saw these two tablets and I was
curious to look at them to see if they were the same as what the Bible says
because I know that in America the Catholic Church actually changes the Ten
Commandments. And the Catholic Church changes the Ten Commandments here in the
Philippines as well. And what I wanted to do is make a quick video explaining to
you and showing you the changes from what the Bible says, why the Catholic
Church is wrong, and why exactly they do that. First off, how do we know that
there's Ten Commandments? Well the Bible says at the end of Exodus 34 verse 28
and he wrote upon the tables the words of the Covenant the Ten Commandments. So
there very clearly tells us that there's Ten Commandments. Because when you're
reading Exodus chapter 20 what you're going to see is they're going to list a
bunch of information but it doesn't necessarily tell you here's the First
Commandment, here's a second, here's a third, here's a fourth. Now it's very
obvious where the transitions are but Exodus 34 verse 28 just tells us there's
Ten Commandments. And when we go to Exodus chapter 20 we have a long list of
information we have to find out what those Ten Commandments are. Now nine of
the ten are the same within what the Bible says and what I believe and what
traditional Christians believe and what the Catholic Church believes but there's
a difference of opinion on the commandments of you know making a graven
image and of coveting. And so when it comes to the Second Commandment, thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image. What the Catholic Church says is
that this is attached to the First Commandment. The First Commandment is
thou shalt have no other gods before me. And what they say is we're not supposed
to make any graven images of a false god. So the thing is the Catholic Church they
have a lot of idols. They have a lot of images. But they would say that if we're
making an image of a saint that's not a false god because you know God tells us
to pray to Saints according to the Catholic Church. Even though in all
actuality that's no different than a god of another religion as you're praying to
those statues and those idols. But they say it's not wrong to make statues or
images of Jesus or of you know saints and stuff like that because of the fact
you know those aren't false gods. But it's wrong to make an image of a false
god and they say that a commandment is attached on to the First Commandment. Now
I would definitely disagree with that because we're against making you know
spiritual images that you're using for a thing of worship. That's something that
the Bible condemns. So I believe that those are separate commandments okay. But
here's the thing. If the Catholic Church removes the Second Commandment they've
got to add a commandment to equal ten. Because otherwise you're only gonna have
nine commandments and it's gonna be very obvious. And what they do is they take
the Tenth Commandment thou shalt not covet and they turn that into two
commandments. And what it says in Exodus 20 verse 17 is this thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's house thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife nor his man's
servant nor his maidservant nor his ox nor his ass nor anything that is thy
neighbor's. And so we have a long verse there where it talks about a list of
things we're not supposed to covet. And so we would say that the commandment
being made is thou shalt not covet and then the Bible's giving extra
information of just anything that belongs to your neighbor and it goes
through a long list of things. The Catholic Church says well you're not
supposed to covet your neighbor's wife that's the Ninth Commandment and then
you're not supposed to covet your neighbor's goods and that's the Tenth
Commandment. Now right off the bat that's kind of strange because when you look at
the first the beginning of verse number 17 the first thing it says is not to
covet your neighbor's house. So it doesn't even mention coveting your
neighbor's wife first if that commandment would be the first one listed
there the Ninth Commandment. But here's the thing about this. What we would say
is this that anything that is in regards to that house we're not supposed to
covet. So it starts by saying you're not supposed to covet your neighbor's house
then it's gonna mention anything that's belonging to your neighbor or anything
that's a part of that house or that household. Now the Catholic Church says
well you know that's sexist to say you know that the wife belongs to that
household or to your neighbor and that's wrong you know to say that she's the
property of the man. But yet the Bible says that when you get married two
become one and the Bible talks about how it's not a bad thing to be jealous over
your spouse. Jealousy is not wrong. Envy is wrong. Jealousy is not wrong. Why?
Because when you get married you know your wife belongs to you and honestly
you belong to your wife as well. And so here's the thing for them to say well
it's sexist to say that you know the wife is part of that household or she
belongs or she's property of the house. Well the Bible does say that when you
get married you belong to your spouse and your body is not your own. So they
can take it up with the Word of God but that's what the Bible clearly says. But
here's why what they're saying doesn't make sense apart from the fact that it
doesn't even mention the wife first in Exodus 20 verse 17. Here's a big problem
with this. The seventh commandment in what the Bible says in traditional
Christianity is thou shalt not commit adultery. Okay now since the Catholic
Church removes one of the commandments that is their sixth commandment thou
shalt not commit adultery. But does it really make a lot of sense to have your
sixth commandment thou shalt not commit adultery and then your ninth commandment
thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife? Because aren't those pretty much the
same thing? I mean committing adultery is worse than coveting your neighbor's wife
but yet coveting your neighbor's wife is what's gonna start and lead toward
committing adultery. And so those commandments are really kind of the same
thing and lining up in the same way. And so it wouldn't really make sense to say
well the sixth commandment thou shalt not commit adultery and the ninth
commandment you know don't covet your neighbor's wife because those are in the
same line. They're very similar. It wouldn't really make a lot of sense. The
Ten Commandments are meant to be different from one another and so it
doesn't make sense for the Catholic Church to say thou shalt not covet and put
that into two commandments. It's very obvious there you know the commandment
is thou shalt not covet and it mentions everything that would belong to your
neighbor or to someone else and you're not supposed to covet any of that and
that's under one category of thou shalt not covet. So the question is because
when you're reading here in Exodus chapter 20 it's it's it's really not
that complicated. It's pretty obvious what the Ten Commandments actually are.
The transitions are pretty easy to see. So the question is why is it that the
Catholic Church would remove the second commandment and they turn the tenth
commandment into two? Well that's actually not that complicated because
the Catholic Church as I mentioned is filled full of images and idols. They're
filled full of idolatry. The Catholic Church is filled full of idolatry and so
it doesn't really sound good when one of the Ten Commandments says not to make
any graven image because they're a religion that's filled with graven
images. And so what the Catholic Church claims is well that's just associated
with a false god and these aren't false gods so it's okay. And I would say that
if you're you know driving through the Philippines or Catholic country versus
driving through India with Hinduism people it's gonna look the exact same.
You have all of these idols and everything like that. These are their
gods and that is reality. And the Catholic Church wants to justify their
idolatry and their images but the Bible condemns it. It says thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image. And look they can change the Ten Commandments and they
can say well there's three for God and seven for man but that is not
what the Bible teaches. They're filled full of idolatry and throughout the
Bible that is a major major sin. Thank you and God bless.
