1. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father Who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

7. The 10 Commandments
1.) I am the Lord, your God; you shall not have other gods before me. 2.) You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain. 3.) Remember to keep holy the Lord’s Day. 4.) Honor your father and mother. 5.) You shall not kill. 6.) You shall not commit adultery. 7.) You shall not steal. 8.) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 9.) You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. 10.) You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

8. Augustine and Origen
In Church history, there have been two ways of listing the Ten Commandments.
The list preferred by Augustine, and currently the preferred list by Catholics and Lutherans, is the one we’re learning in this class.
The list preferred by Origen, and currently preferred by the Orthodox and by most Protestants, involves separating the 1st Commandment and fusing the 9th and 10th Commandments.

9. Did Catholics remove the 2nd Commandment?
CCC 2084: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.

10. 2nd Commandment
Lutherans use the same list of the 10 Commandments as Catholics
There are references in the Bible to the use of religious imagery in worship, E.g. Exodus 25:16-22

11. In the ark you are to put the covenant which I will give you.
You shall then make a cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide. Make two cherubim of beaten gold for the two ends of the cover; make one cherub at one end, and the other at the other end, of one piece with the cover, at each end. The cherubim shall have their wings spread out above, sheltering the cover with them; they shall face each other, with their faces looking toward the cover. This cover you shall then place on top of the ark. In the ark itself you are to put the covenant which I will give you. There I will meet you and there, from above the cover, between the two cherubim on the ark of the covenant, I will tell you all that I command you regarding the Israelites.
