Why are there different versions of the 10 Commandments?

Whenever I google it, I will either get a list where the second Commandment is to not use the Lord's name in vain; or it will be not to create false idols; or it will be to not wear any graven images, and if its one of the last two, the third one will be to not use the Lord's name in vain.

Because of that, I have to rule out translation problems.

Some lists include not coveting the neighbor's wife along with not coveting his stuff. Others have wife on her own commandment.

Also, is the New Testament just a rewrite of the Old Testament? ..or are they two totally different books with totally different stories in each one? If thats the case, does the Old Testament allude to the New Testament at all? Is Jesus Christ mentioned in both books?

@SomeMichGuy oh really? Wikiwhat? What's that? It sounds Polynesian to me. 🤔 /s

Yes, i could have done some research on the subject, but then what would i do here?

However, if was going to research it, Wikipedia would be the last place i would check, just because i can make it say whatever i want it to say, and it will be the latest narrative until it gets corrected.

ChatGPT is supposed to be the new Google, btw😉
@Jayciedubb Ah, so you are lazy, bubbling with tropes, and don't know how to evaluate a source.

You desperately need Adler & van Doren, but that would require work. lmao

@SomeMichGuy I'm not the one bubbling with tropes. I'm merely trying to understand the contradictions within the book of tropes known as the Bible.

Who are Adler and Van Doren? Are they buried in clay and rocks? What kind of work is required, and whats the payoff? ..and where's their currency minted?

@Jayciedubb And you could answer your question, in part, by a very simple query.

But you already admitted you aren't serious. So I'm out.

@SomeMichGuy hey man, nobody's forcing you to reply.

You're right. It would be too hard to read the article at this time. I'm not the type to take in anything just because it's written. Especially if it's written on Wikipedia. So there would be a lot of research id have to do on the author of the article.

If I'm guilty of engaging in fuckery, then you, sir, are guilty of it too. But I have a feeling you either don't see it that way, or you excuse yourself because you're comfortable with your motives.
@Jayciedubb The info pertaining to your argument is clear and easily verified.

No, I took you seriously (at first), but that's over. Bye.
