Remember the sabbath, and keep it holy?

Ten commandments are wildly inconsistent

http://www.biblicalheritage.org/bible%20studies/10%20command...

Interesting, apparently as a former Lutheran I learned the Catholic version. Seems it is even worse than that link suggests though, as there are two texts which are considered to be the 10 commandments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Two_texts_with...

How was I not aware of this...

Because Christians are generally speaking quite ignorant of the Old Testament, and not infrequently the New as well. Every religious Jew on earth is well aware of this, and if you read the two versions side-by-side you'll see the differences are stylistic and not substantive--the shade of difference between "honor" and "love" or "remember" and "observe" is just not that great, though our practices often are explained as owing to these distinctions.

If you are looking for something about the Bible to be upset about, you can certainly do a lot better than this.

"The 10 Commandments" and/or the Bible itself upset me for other reasons. In this particular case I am only upset by my own ignorance.

That's not what any reasonable person would call "wildly inconsistent," though it is certainly enough to make the author's point.

to be honest, that is the first result I found looking on google for "ten commandments jews"[0].

Sure, as another (apparently deleted?) comment said, if you take them as a whole you more or less can respect 80% of it across a few major branches.

But they are inconsistent enough that if I tell you one by number there's a 80% chance that you won't be able to understand what I mean unless you know my religion, which is the case i replied to.

[0] I first found out that what the roman catholic catechism taught to me (in rome :) as VI, "do not commit impure acts", is different for jews.

In that case, fair enough.
