Comment on The 10 Commandments apparently mentions absolutely nothing about protecting children from abuse.

  Even before then. They’re originally listed in Exodus. Fun fact, after the tablet smashing incident when Moses goes back up the mountain to get a new set carved in Exodus 32, several of those listed by god in the process of creating the replacements are different from the first ten. Depending on where you split the clauses, there are as many as 18 commandments between the first and the second sets.

  Deuteronomy is a recap, including only the first ten, but also manages get the explanation for the sabbath wrong as compared to previous chapters. Then it goes on to claim “these are the ten commandments and god added no more” which as we just saw is an untruth.

  Even in Ye Olde Testament Times, an effort was afoot to deliberately mutate the terms and conditions in order to suit the current authority.

    Forgot about that. I usually focus on Deuteronomy as it is really, very “fun”

    “Ye Olde Testament”?

    Its not ‘ye’, its ‘þe’, the thorn character, pronounced today as ‘the’

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)

    So educate yourself, and please drop all that ‘ye’ shit, all articles that reference ye are incorrect.
