Also, Planter and Sola Fide, how do you resolve that Commandments 1 & 2 are redundant, while 10 covers two sins, envy and lust.

This is blatantly untrue and is highly irresponsible for a Catholic to throw out this accusation. The Protestants did not come up with the other listing.
There are three traditions. One is used by the Catholics AND LUTHERANS and was developed by St. Augustine. The other is used by other Protestants and the Greek Orthodox, and originated in the Greek church. The third is used by the Jews.
The reason is that the Bible indeed identifies 10 Words (aka commandments) but does not indicate how to divide them, since there are around 14 distinct commands given in the decalogue. The numbering of the Commandments is not part of the Bible.
If the Protestants want to be irresponsible and accuse Catholics, that’s their business. It’s not our way to do the same to them.

Sorry ask your creator or created you… God, I did not command them or create them, he wrote them with his own finger not once but twice.
God Bless

Not with this attiude and arguing over God’s words. Like 1 and 2 are redundant. Forgive me Lord . St. Peter before he was cruicified…Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do…

There is only ONE God, ONE Kingdom, ONE Church. Remember it is God’s House, God’s Kingdom, God’s Church…his children.
God said in His Kingdom there will be NO Jew, NO Greek, NO man, NO woman etc. please think about that. God also said: he chooses whom he wills and gives mercy to whom he gives mercy. St. Paul said: it is a frightful thing to be in the hand of the Lord. We are all Israelites who believe upon the earth, we all come from the seed of Abraham.
Do not worry what mere mortal man thinks of you only worry what God thinks of you.
We are all the living dead in the sins of the flesh, seek to live in the Spirit, seek to become Holy, for our God, our Father is HOLY.
If you use your dead flesh now use it to do good. Keep your hands busy and conscience clear and you should do well…St. Paul
God Bless
We wonder why there is no peace in the world. Forgive me sweet Jesus for thou has given me the wisdom needed to simply understand that. God Bless

We know God exists so does Lucifer he knows that more than anyone! Can we not see evil around us.
Parents killing their own children, children killing childing their parents. We have a least 3-5 TV’s in our home putting them in bathrooms now. Cel phones, iPods spending thousands of dollars on couches homes, car, we are gluttons even in food while others starve to death, idols, idols etc. Are we not gluttons while millions go hungry, thirsting, no home etc. The poor are there to be seen we have no excuses. Look at all the poor. Watching tv now is like watching porn. etc. Our children do not even know or being taught the Lords prayers. Idols Idols. God said: come all you are hungry, thirsty, come and you need no money etc.
Art… what ever you want to call it sells for millions of dollars. Jesus said it would be harder for a rich man to enter heaven then a camel to go through the eye of a needle. We are not here to get rich but to seek God, serve others who are in need. Think of what Abraham said to Lazarus. Abraham said: the poor man was given evil things but you were given good things. Lazarus begged Abraham to send someone to tell his brothers, what did he reply to him.
God knows all things before we were even created and what would happen.
Just talk to him he dwells within us. God loves us all dearly if we need a metal angel to remind us of God how sad. It was like that for me also, but that time for ignorance has past as Jesus said. We are not here to argue over his words but to live as ONE in the word.
Once God has given us the grace to know him we must do everything in our power to seek, knock, ask and serve in obedience to his will and desire for us. Don’t you think.
Let him be your first thought when we open our eyes and your last thought of him when we close them.
How sad when we need to crave images or relics to remind us of God. Just my thoughts and what God teaches me when I just simply ask.
God Bless and I do love you all.

In God’s Kingdom I believe there will be no divisions or titles like Catholic’s, Protestants, only God’s children, it is God’s House his Kingdom. The road is narrow and few shall enter. Think about it, just simply ask God and pray for his strength and take refuge in him. Pray that you will know his truth and not be deceived by Satan. Beware of the soothsayers.
Love to all

Well you’re right about that. Everyone in heaven, the Church Triumphant, are members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church regardless if they were formal members while here on earth. Christ’s church, the Catholic Church is made up on the Church Militant, Church Suffering and the Church Triumphant. All are connected as the mystical body of Christ. The Catechism has this to say on the subject.
962 “We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one Church; and we believe that in this communion, the merciful love of God and his saints is always [attentive] to our prayers”

Nice try, Planter, but God is not a God of confusion is he? This is not a “mystery”. In YOUR version, 1 and 2 are redundant and 10 covers two sins. Is this how it goes?
- Don’t do this…
- Now, this time I mean it. Don’t do this…?
… - Don’t do this or that…

So, when I ask you a question, you choose to obfuscate?

Planter, I’m a little confused. Is there some scorecard based on who could make the most posts? 
What are you blathering about and what does have to do with my post you quoted?
