9/29: 10 Commandments as a wedding/A $100 bet

opening "devotional video" today.  Same question as always:



----

MYSTERY TO SOLVE FOR NEXT CLASS:
Which list of the Ten Commandments is the "real" list??

We joked you could win $100 by saying, :Let me read you a list of the Ten Commandments, the only list the Bible explicity calls the Ten Commandments.  Tell if this is the list.  A hundred bucks says I'm right.  Then read them the Ten Commandments from Exodus 34!!:


                      Exodus 20                                                                     Exodus 34: Note: this list, NOT THE 
                                                                                                       OTHER, is the one that says "THESE ARE    
                                                                                                        THE TEN COMMANDMENTS"                                                          


1. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me.
 
 1. Thou shalt worship no idol. (For the Lord is a jealous god).  Smash all idols,
 
2. You shall not make for yourself a graven image. You shall not bow down to them or serve them.
 
 2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
 
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.  3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep in the month when the ear is on the corn.
 
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
 
 4. All the first-born are mine.
 
5. Honor your father and your mother.
 
 5. Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh thou shalt rest.
 
6. You shall not kill.
 
 6. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, even of the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
 
7. You shall not commit adultery.
 
 7. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread.
 
8. You shall not steal.
 
 8. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
 
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
 
 9. The first of the first fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God.
 
10. You shall not covet.
 
 10. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
 


These look only loosely related to the list we've all heard from Exodust2O






..
Here's  Colbert (interviewing a congressman about the Ten Commandments), which
turns out to have several helpful serious points about the "literary world" of   the  topic Here it is:
Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
and the "question of the day"..

Off the top of your head, list words and ideas that come to mind when you think of the story of the giving of the Ten Commandments on Mt Sinai.
Then scroll down for the question..



Was "wedding" on your list?
                                        .....or "love"?

What does all this have to do with a wedding?
