Spiritually Pondering: How many Christians realize that the most commonly stated Ten Commandments...?

...are never called the Ten Commandments in the Bible nor were they the set of rules given to Moses on stone tablets?

In fact, the following is a list of the actual Ten Commandments, as called by the Bible and as written on the second set of stone tablets (according to the Bible of course):

1. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep.

4. All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

5. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

6. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

7. Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.

8. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the feast of the Passover be left until the morning.

9. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.

10. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Update:

You guys are trying to put up the wrong rules into Courthouses. Just thought I'd let you know.

    I think it's mostly atheists who know about the second set and know that they're the ones actually labeled the "ten commandments."

    What's funny is that they teach their kids that the Ten Commandments include things such as "Don't lie", "Don't covet", without giving the rest of the details. They also teach them that the Ten Commandments is the basis of all Western law.

    Christianity would be a lot more popular if they were more about the feasting and less about the hating everybody who isn't Christian.

    I admire your determination, if not your scholarship. The sections on Jewish law in the pentateuch are not easy to wade through.

    Maybe you should get out more?
