> That makes sense; I guess it kinda looses something in the translation ;) That's why I usually stay out of these conversations if I can. Just looking at the layout of how the 10 are defined and you see issues. Jews look at the first commandment as "I am the lord your God", i.e. commandment 1 is belief in God. Christians have commandment one as "you shall have no other God before me". Major difference. Taking the lords name in vain means not swearing a false oath, not saying a divine name. (not saying a divine name in vain is a matter of respect, not this commandment). Another difference. A lot of other details that all run down to the same thing, translation and tradition. We could do years of talk on just that and never get anywhere because each will believe in their side. "Mine is Hebrew and came first" "Mine is how the church fathers translated it and they're right" "Mine is what the Greek said and that was first" (yes, I've actually heard that one)
> One question, I thought Indentured Servitude was made illegal in this > country shortly after the Civil War, anybody know if that is true? It still goes on, especially with immigrants. There have been a few very public cases where people in the government had illegal immigrant as servants and the servants were basically only living/existing in relationship to the family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
