Let's pause for a minute. Rosangela, what do you think is the question I am asking?

If the commands God told Moses to write are not the Ten Commandments why did Moses call them the Ten Commandments?

Let's pause for a minute. Rosangela, what do you think is the question I am asking? I think it is, Are there two sets of the ten commandments, and if so, how do we deal with that? If the commands God told Moses to write are not the Ten Commandments why did Moses call them the Ten Commandments? Moses calls the ten commandments the commandments that were written on the tablets. Did he write on the tablets? This is the important question.

And in Ex. 34 he could only have been referring to those in Ex. 34. 11:26. To claim otherwise is to make a mockery of Biblical interpretation.

Darius,
Moses was told to write the commandments of Ex. 34:11-26. Did he write them or did God write them? Were they written on the tablets of stone or not?

You are asking a different question which evades the more important question. When a an employer tell me he will write to me I know that it is secretary who will be writing the letter. Who wrote on the tablets is a non-issue.

Let's pause for a minute. Rosangela, what do you think is the question I am asking? I think it is, Are there two sets of the ten commandments, and if so, how do we deal with that? If the commands God told Moses to write are not the Ten Commandments why did Moses call them the Ten Commandments? Moses calls the ten commandments the commandments that were written on the tablets. Did he write on the tablets? This is the important question. Rosangela, It is a challenge to figure out what Darius A. Lecointe, J.D., Ph.D is asking as he makes his twits and turns and demands that he be answered. Yet he will not answer others. Shall you answer to "his point", "his earnest question", or his "bottom line"? Why should Darius A. Lecointe, J.D., Ph.D, be answered at all when even his questions start with a false premise. "But it's interesting to note that the only time in the Pentateuch that the actual words "The Ten Commandments" are used is in Exodus 34". The Enemy used the same means of questioning of Jesus in the wilderness by mixing truth and error. Luke 4 Quote:Darius A. Lecointe, J.D., Ph.D.
Most people think of the 10 Commandments as the lists in Exodus 20:1-17, or in Deuteronomy 5:6-2, and they're quite similar. But it's interesting to note that the only time in the Pentateuch that the actual words "The Ten Commandments" are used is in Exodus 34, and that chapter lists an entirely different set of commands (Ex. 34:11-26).
Quote:Darius A. Lecointe, J.D., Ph.D.
That's it. The only time, within the Pentateuch, that the phrase "Ten Commandments" is used. Neither Exodus 20 nor Deuteronomy 5 refers to the rules they list as "the Ten Commandments."
Quote:Darius A. Lecointe, J.D., Ph.D.
So my earnest question would be, why, when the Bible very explicitly calls these the Ten Commandments, does everybody else thinks that the Decalogue refers to the others lists, that don't call themselves that?
Quote:Darius A. Lecointe, J.D., Ph.D.
Rosangela, please explain why the passage in Ex. 34 bears no resemblance to the list in Ex. 20 or Deut. 5. The bottom line is that Ex. 34 is the only one that says that it was written by the Creator. Ex. 20 only says that "God spake."

You really must have nothing to do, crater, if you are still back at that puddle. How can I help you?

Darius,
Both good thoughts and questions have been presented to you.
Unless you are willing to answer the questions asked of you, don't expect others to be willing to answer your questions.
You seem to have a habit of saying it is a non-issue, when others think it is an issue. It's your way of refusing to answer any questions that you really can't answer.

Daryl, who actually penned the second set of tablets does not change the fact that we have different versions. It is obvious from the text, read in English or in Hebrew, that Moses was the one who actually wrote on the tablets but he, like a secretary, was writing under the direction of the Creator. It is a non-issue.
