To avoid a lot of questions:
Isn't there already a Ten Commandments quiz?
Yes, there is, but it asks for the whole phrasing of the commandments. While there are a decent number of variation in the allowed in the existing quiz, you can't please everyone. In this version, I've tried to keep the answers limited to the crucial and distinct parts of the commandments.
Call it the Ten Commandments lite.
If there are Ten Commandments, why are there twelve answers?
I guess you could say it's because God didn't use a numeric list function. As such, because the original tablets (despite what you saw in Raiders of the Lost Ark) aren't around, there was no official numbering scheme. Therefore, different religions have grouped the above 12 into 10 in different ways.
Catholics & Lutherans, for example, crammed the first three into a single commandment, then kept the magic number 10 by having the last two entries as separate commandments.
Most other Christian and Jews treat the last two as a single commandment, but split up the first three. Orthodox Jews take the first two as a single commandment, while Talmudic Jews identify the first as one commandment and the next two combined as the 2nd. Many Christian denominations take the first entry as a preface, not a commandment, and at least grammatically, that's correct.
Who's correct? god only knows. |
