“The Ten Commandments” are actually Jewish. Christians who read would know that Christianity is supposed to be based on two commandments, which according to their god are more important than the ten commandments.
Christianity was a Jewish sect until at least 70 ad, so it actually is Jewish until they separated themselves out as being different.
What 2 commandments are you talking about? I actually don’t read the bible either since I’m not religious. I’m fascinated by the history of it though. Are you talking about the Golden Rule? What other one then.
I’ve read a little bit of the Jewish scriptures to see what was taken out of the old testament and rearranged, that was kind of hilarious. The Book of Ruth is sexy time. The same guy who made it so priests couldn’t marry probably got rid of that book too, but I can’t remember when it was pulled. Probably at the council of Nicene.
The two commandments he is talking about are found here: Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
These are what Jesus is quoted as saying in the New Testament of the Bible.
Thanks for explaining that. We were taught in my catholic school the second one as the Golden Rule and the only commandment to follow because it encompasses all of them. The “Love the Lord…” one was barely brought up, if at all. Even catholics have many different versions of being taught. My west coast friends had a totally different experience.

Ruth is still in though, it’s right after Judges.
Holy shit, you’re right. I must have read the source wrong or I didn’t understand. Are the sexy songs still included as sexy songs?
If you’re talking about Song of Songs, yes, still there. I don’t think it ever appears in sermons though, it’s not very quotable in a public setting.
Ew, but those are about love. Not here is the u s of a buddy.
