The Roman Catholic Church even changed the Ten Commandments which God wrote on two stone tablets.
![](https://mygodchristahnsahnghong.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/roman-catholic-church-changed-the-ten-commandments.jpg)
The Ten Commandments changed by the Roman Catholic Church — They took away the 2nd commandment, “You shall not make idols.” They also changed the Sabbath day into Lord’s Day (Sunday.) And the 10th commandment was divided into two.
Why did the Roman Catholic Church change the Ten Commandments written in the Bible? They took away the second commandment, “You shall not make for yourself an idol.” God prohibited idolatry through the commandment, “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below, and you shall not bow down to them or worship them.” However, the Catholic Church set up cross images, and made and worshiped Mary and Saints statues. They have a doctrine that contradicts the commandment, “You shall not make idols.” In the eyes of the Catholic Church, the 2nd commandment was a prickly one. After all, they took away the 2nd commandment.
They also changed the 4th commandment from “Keep the Sabbath day” to “Keep the Lord’s Day.” If the Sabbath were the same day with Sunday which is called the “Lord’s Day,” they would not have changed it to “Keep the Lord’s Day.” The Roman Catholic Church introduced the Sunday service into the church. They had no choice but to change the Ten Commandments in order to stick to the day of sun-worship.
The 10th commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house,” includes “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” However, the number of the Ten Commandments reduced to 9 because the 2nd commandment was abolished. So the Catholic Church divided by force the 10th commandment into two: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife” and “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.”
The reason the Catholic Church changed the Ten Commandments is because they violated squarely the Ten Commandments, the Word of God. The right faith is that they correct their behaviors if they are against the words of God. For this, we look at the Word of God. But, the Roman Catholic Church changed the Word of God when they found their acts deviated from the Word of God.
The Bible says that the one who will speak against God will change the laws of God.
He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws [GNT: their religious laws and festivals]. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. (Daniel 7:25)
i was raised a catholic, i always believed in Jesus, there is no doubt; i did not stay a catholic or any other church, i dont like church hymns or the sound of a church organ i find it horrible. that Sunday feeling.
i read the kJV it is the word of God.
The Sabbath (Saturday) must be observed, The second commandment must be observed as it was written, No man can forgive sin in place of Jesus Christ.
No church has the right to change the word of God.
thanks be to you for holding the law of God and not the laws of men
may he bless you and all you serve.
Thanks for your comment.
The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in the Second Coming Jesus who is to appear in this age according to the Bible (He 9:27-28.)
We can recognize the Savior only through the Bible (John 5:39.)
Christ Ahnsahnghong, who is the 2nd Coming Jesus, restored the New Covenant to bring salvation according to the Bible (Isaiah 25:6-9.)
Today, only the World Mission Society Church of God keeps the New Covenant including the Sabbath and the Passover.
You’ve been fooled, you think the Church really changed it? Have you read your New American Bible and in the first place if the Church changed the Bible it could be a headline of all Christian scholars.
Please watch the following YouTube video titled: The Faith of the Early Church
https://youtu.be/W3Jj1BRyMec
The Sunday service and Christmas are not based on the Bible. Also, Easter originated from a pagan goddess.
https://youtu.be/XzY-jHZv87c
The Roman Catholic Church does not follow the teachings of Bible at all.
amen!!
Many Christians mistake the abolition of the Passover as God’s work.
However, the prophecy of the Bible speaks of it in the plot of Satan.
We must have spiritual wisdom to distinguish between the work of God and the work of Satan.
The Roman catholic’s identity has been clearly revealed.
Let us not fall for it anymore.
They always disguiesd themselves to change God’s law and commentment.through they proved to be babelon themselves.
We cannot judge with our limited vision. We can see just appearance. We have to get spiritual eyes for distinguish true with false.
Yes, I thought Catholic is a good church but we shiuld distinguish through the Bible.
“The Catholic church,” declared Cardinal Gibbons, “by virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.” Catholic Mirror Sept. 23 1983. (Official organ of Cardinal Gibbons)
Question – Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer – Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question – Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
Answer – We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50, 3rd ed.
“The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!” Father Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, Mo., History of the Sabbath, p. 802
Today, when we look into all the churches, it is hard to find the law of God. They keep sunday service, set up the cross, cereblate christmas. But, all of it is not originated from the bible. We shouldn’t miss the chances which contain the blessing because of ignorance. We should focus and find what is true God’s word through the bible.
Christ Ahnsahnghong let us know who is against God through the bible and how to go to heaven and restored the new covenant all. How could He know all things?? He is our Savior who is testified in the bible. That’s why He taught the Catholic Church is not God’s Church and God does not exist in there.
When I was high school student, my friend asked me to come to church with her. So I said that I just could come to church for a month if she want. That time I saw ten commandments in the bible. It is different from catholic. Who knows Romam Catholic had changed ten commandments? But we have to know that if believe in God who gave ten commandments.
It is shame that still many people do not realize the Roman Catholic’s true identity and being deceived by that. I want to make known to everyone the prophecies of the Bible taught by Christ Ahnasahnghong and God the Mother so that people’s spiritual eyes can be opened and come to the way of life.
According to the Bible, we should not add something to the Bible or we should not remove something from the Bible (Revelation 22:18-19.)
Roman Catholic Church introduced idols into the church. To hide her acts, Catholic Church even changed the Ten Commandments.
Proud Catholic here. Your hate towards Catholics is evident in your post. The majority of RCC have worship services every day of the week. This article is complete nonsense, we do not worship statues either. You sound very ignorant in your understanding of the Catholic Church. I’d encourage you to attend RCIA classes to become familiar with the church teachings before you spread so many lies about a church that worships the Holy Trinity.
Hello Aimee,
Thanks for your comment.
Now the Roman Catholic Church has changed the worship service day to every day, right?
Please refer to the book titled “The Faith of Our Fathers”:
Please also refer to the book “The Faith of Millions”:
You can also refer to the following article from the Cult Research Center:

@Aimee
I am very sorry that you got upset, but I guess you haven’t studied the Catholic doctrine nor its history in great detail. Many popes throughout history admited that they have changed the Ten Commandments according to the Catholic Church’s authority. How can someone change God’s laws with his own authority? That’s a complete nonsense. Where does it say that God wanted us to have worship services every day of the week? God clearly told us to not add or subtract any of His commanded laws and decrees since these laws were all established with God’s own blood.
(To make you comforatble, I’ve added verses from the Good News Translation)
(Revelation 22:18-19) “I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if any add anything to them, God will add to their punishment the plagues described in this book. And if any take anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book.”
If we change anything, we surely cannot enter the kingdom of heaven; and yet, the RCC changed the whole thing. With whose authority? The RCC. Who is the RCC? Is RCC God? NO. Evidently we cannot admit that the RCC is God Almighty.
Refer to this:
From “Faithfully yours”
“Is Saturday the 7th day according to the Bible & the 10 Commandments?”6)
“I answer yes.”
“Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day–Saturday–for Sunday, the 1st day?”
“I answer yes.”
“Did Christ change the day?”
“I answer no!”
See more here: http://crc.ac/the-catholic-church-even-changed-the-ten-commandments/
I was born Catholic, my whole family was Catholic and now we’re in the truth. Nevertheless, this is the truth. The reality is, the RCC wasn’t the church that Peter established, but was rather “created” for controlling the Christians by the Roman Emperor. This is the FACT and not a LIE.
Those who do not follow the words of God and change God’s words however they felt like for their benefit are called LIARS. I was deceived by the RCC’s lies.
(2 Peters 2:1-3) “False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake!” (GNT)
(Galatians 1:6-10) “I am surprised at you! In no time at all you are deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ,[a] and are accepting another gospel. Actually, there is no “other gospel,” but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell! We have said it before, and now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different from the one you accepted, may he be condemned to hell! Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God’s approval! Am I trying to be popular with people? If I were still trying to do so, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (GNT)
And that’s why I’m so glad that now I can see the truth correctly. Please refer to all evidence that you can easily find and I truly wish that you can enter salvation.
The pope is a liar and a blasphemer! God said that no one is to add or take away from His word because their will be consequencesd! Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The pope is a liar and a servant of satan! Do not believe a word he says. He is a false teacher that the Lord warns us about….2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Get into the word of God from the KJV bible and protect yourself from these wolves in shepards clothing.
Carol, you’ve been told a lie.
1. The Catholic Church did not change the ten commandments. What we know as the Catholic Ten Commandments is the traditional way of summarizing the commandments given to Moses as recorded in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. The stone tablets didn’t have the number 1-10 on them and were much wordier than the summary made to help the faithful commit them to memory.
2. The traditional summary pre-exists Protestantism so the Catholic Church could not have “changed them” from the summarized version you’ve seen. In fact, the only direction that accusation makes any sense is to say that Protestants changed the summary. Why did they do that? One could very reasonably argue that it was based on their anti-Catholicism and a desire to slander the Church with propaganda. Most Protestants I’ve met have NO idea about the violent history of Protestantism. Being of Dutch descent, I know all too well how the Protestants invaded Catholic areas and forcefully took possession of churches and destroyed the contents before claiming the building for themselves. Ask anyone from the Netherlands.
3. The summary used by the Catholic Church is actually MORE faithful to the Bible’s two accounts of Moses’ tablets (again, as recorded in Exodus and Deuteronomy). The comments section won’t allow links to be posted but if you click on my name at the top of this comment you will be taken to a page from the official Catechism which shows three columns. The first is the record in Exodus. The second is the record in Deuteronomy. And the third is the traditional Catholic summary. You’ll notice that the “Catholic Ten” does the best job of summarizing the commandments as it appear in both places. Whereas the “Protestant Ten” splits out its own 2nd commandment even though it appears only in Exodus and not in Deuteronomy. Again you should consider the motivation of the “summarizers” and the political situation at the time. There’s a pretty clear agenda.
4. Seeing as you’ve clearly been lied to (or at least unwittingly been given false information), you have to wonder who’s really standing in the truth? It seems obvious that the Catholic Church — the only church that can actually trace its founding back 2000 years to Christ Himself — is the true Church.
I encourage you to do your own research and your own thinking. If you see the Church accused of something, don’t just swallow it. Seek out the source. Don’t just read more of the same but look to the Catholic Church’s own words and writing — direct from the source — and see if the accusations hold any water. I can assure you they don’t. And if you get at all confused, feel free to email me and we can discuss is rationally.
Take care.
Hello Rob VH,
Thanks for your comment again.
You know, the 2nd Commandment was deleted by the Roman Catholic Church. Moreover, Catholic changed the Lord’s Day to Sunday from the Sabbath day.

Rob, stop defend what is wrong and man-made.
If you are believer of Christ, which Bible is the testimonie to Him, then learn from Christ by using Bible to testify The Way, Truth and Life. John 5:39, Luke 24:26-27.
Don’t say “for the convenience” as excuse while changing God word in the bible.
Rev 22: 18-19.
Gods word cannot be changed except God.
God forbade, only God allowed.
RCC / Pope is no other than man and he is never a GOD or having authority to change God command in the Bible. Pope should submit and to lead people to obey God only, however pope prefered authority & honor from people. Pope even allowed people to called him as “Father” ? Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
Remember about this:
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”
We should think about this passage whenever someone sins against us, even if it’s the pope.
The Catholic Church didn’t omit any commandment. The prohibition of idolatry fall under the first commandment in the Catholic Catechism. See Catechism of the Catholic Church #2112 to #2114.
Of note, idolatry (making images AND making them gods to be worshiped) is prohibited but not the making of religious images per se. In the Old Testament, God ordered to make a bronze serpent and the cherubim of the Ark of the Covenant. (Num 21:4-9; Wis 16:5-14; Jn 3:14-15; Ex 25:10-22; 1 Kings 6:23-28; 7:23-26.)
The Catholic Church doesn’t make idols. The religious icons made are not meant to be worshiped as gods and only serve as visual aids, the same way we use statues or symbols (ex. flags, seals etc.) in non-religious settings. See Catechism of the Catholic Church #2129 to #2132.

Thank you very much for your comment.
Could you please refer to the following article about this issue?
http://crc.ac/the-catholic-church-even-changed-the-ten-commandments/
The CRC article above clearly shows that the Roman Catholic Church changed the Ten Commandments of God.
In addition, about the matter of the Bronze Snake, please watch the following YouTube video:

God bless you.
Even Moses was not allowed to enter the land of promise, Canaan, when he’d failed to follow God’s will for 40 year journey to Canaan, so how can we change God’s commandments?
Think of the result of changing commandments given by God. You can figure it out easily.
THE CHURCH HAS REMOVED NO COMMANDMENT FROM THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.
The Catholic Bible is accuratelly translated from the original Hebrew version.
The Bible, in the original text, has no punctuation and numbering of the verses. Therefore, the division of the Commandments is conventional and depends from which of the 3 traditions it referes to:
1.The eastern christian tradition based on the book of Exodus, which consideres the prohibitions of desiring the woman and the property of others as one comandment, and so the prohibitions of having more than one God and of worshiping idols are considered two commandments.
This tradition was adopted by the Orthodox Church, and later by most of the protestants.
2.The agostinian western christian tradition based on the book of Deutoronomy, which consideres the prohibitions of desiring the woman and the property of others as two comandments, and so the prophibitions of having more than one God and of worshiping idols are considered one commandment.
This tradition was adopted by the Catholic Church, and later by the lutheran protestants
3.In the jewish list of the 10 commandments the first is “I am the L-rd, your G-d…” and the second is the Prohibition of Improper Worship which combine the prohibition to worship other gods and that of making idols like the first commandment of the catholic list.
The conspiracy theory of the Catholic Church to have altered the 10 commandments to be able to use the images is a lie for 2 reasons.
The first reason is that the Lutheran church, which does not allow the use of images, uses the same 10 commandments of the Catholic Church.
The second reason is that the Orthodox Church is among the churches that consider the prohibition of the idolatry of the images as the third commandment, and it has never had any problem in using images because the veneration of saints and the use of images as a means of religious teaching isn’t idolatry.
So the questions are:
Why the Catholic Church is accused of having “cleared” the commandment of not worshiping idols , while the Orthodox Church, which specifically mentions this prohibition, uses images exactly like the Catholic Church?
Why did the Protestant Lutheran church adopt the division of the 10 Commandments of the Catholic Church, despite not using the images?
Should the jews be accused of having removed the second commandment and split the first like the catholics who are accused of having removed the same commandment and split the 10th?
The contradictions in this conspiracy theory are evident. It is pure fiction, like the Da Vinci Code.
In this regard, it is useful to bear in mind that the same synagogues in the first centuries after Christ had not infrequently images. Very interesting is the site of Dura Europos , of the 3rd century AD , in Syria, where were found both a synagogue, which was totally covered with frescoes representing scenes from the Old Testament, and an ancient house-church, which was also painted.
There is no biblical evidence that it is forbidden to use images as a mean of religius teaching or to honor people with statues. If yow make a statue of George Washington to honor him and remind his example you don’t worship him as a God. If I ask you to pray God for me I am not worshipping you as God , ans so it is if I ask a saint to do the same.
WHEN AN ACCURATE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED, LIES ARE EASILY EXPOSED
Hello
Thanks for your comment.
For example, God commanded to keep the Sabbath day:
The Sabbath day is Saturday. Even the Roman Catholic acknowledged it.
The author of the book “The Faith of Our Fathers” clearly wrote,”The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” Then why do you keep Sunday instead of the Sabbath?
In addition, God forbade us from worshiping any images religiously. Cross was widely used even before the Christianity era and was used as an execution tool in Rome. Please refer to the following YouTube video about this issue:
http://youtu.be/PhP0jfFZLNM
If the Roman Catholic Church had not changed the Ten Commandments, they must have kept the Sabbath day and must have not set up the crosses.
I don’t think you were properly educated in the Catholic Church (As I’ve been raised there and was educated in the past) or even did a proper research about the Catholics. Even priests and popes admitted that the Catholics changed the Ten Commandments.
http://www.catholic.org/bible/ten_commandments.php
Catholic Encyclopedia Online – Ten Commandments
“The Ten Commandments are precepts bearing on the fundamental obligations of religion and morality and embodying the revealed expression of the Creator’s will in relation to man’s whole duty to God and to his fellow-creatures. They are found twice recorded in the Pentateuch, in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, but are given in an abridged form in the catechisms. Written by the finger of God on two tables of stone, this Divine code was received from the Almighty by Moses amid the thunders of Mount Sinai, and by him made the ground-work of the Mosaic Law. Christ resumed these Commandments in the double precept of charity — love of God and of the neighbour; He proclaimed them as binding under the New Law in Matthew 19 and in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5). He also simplified or interpreted them, e.g. by declaring unnecessary oaths equally unlawful with false, by condemning hatred and calumny as well as murder, by enjoining even love of enemies, and by condemning indulgence of evil desires as fraught with the same malice as adultery (Matthew 5). The Church, on the other hand, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath , or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the Third Commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord’s Day. The Council of Trent (Sess. VI, can. xix) condemns those who deny that the Ten Commandments are binding on Christians.”
“The Church, on the other hand, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath , or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the Third Commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord’s Day.”
Catholics clearly admits that they have changed the Ten Commandments.
Catholics clearly stated that Sunday is not Biblical and was added.
“Q. When Protestants do profane work upon Saturday, or the seventh day of the week, do they follow the Scripture as their only rule of faith,-do they find this permission clearly laid down in the Sacred Volume?
A. On the contrary, they have only the authority of tradition for this practice. In profaning Saturday, they violate one of God’s commandments, which he has never clearly abrogated,-“Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day.” (pg 352
A Doctrinal Catechism, by Rev. Stephan Keenan 1848, https://archive.org/stream/doctrinalcatechi01keen#page/352/mode/2up)
“That Protestants have no Scripture for the measure of their day of rest,-that they abolish the observance of Saturday without warrant of Scripture,–that they substitute Sunday in its place without Scriptural authority,—consequently, that for all this, they have only traditional authority. Yet Protestants would look upon a man who would do profane work after five o’clock on Sunday, or keep the Saturday and profane the first day, as a victim of perdition. Hence we must conclude, that the Scripture, which does not teach these things clearly, does not contain all necessary truths, and, consequently, cannot be the only rule of faith.” (pg. 355
A Doctrinal Catechism, by Rev. Stephan Keenan 1848 https://archive.org/stream/doctrinalcatechi01keen#page/354/mode/2up)
“The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.
“The Catholic Mirror, official organ of Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.
“Is Saturday the 7th day according to the Bible & the 10 Commandments?
“I answer yes.”
“Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day–Saturday–for Sunday, the 1st day?”
“I answer yes.”
“Did Christ change the day?”
“I answer no! Faithfully yours, “J. Card. Gibbons” Gibbons’ Autograph letter.
“It reversed the Fourth Commandment by doing away with the Sabbath of God’s word and instituting Sunday as a holiday.” N. Summerbell, History of the Christian Church, 1873, pg. 415
“For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the [Roman Catholic] church outside the Bible.” Catholic Virginian, October 3, 1947, p. 9, article “To Tell You the Truth.”
How about the 2nd commandment?
We clearly know that God said not to make any carved image, (Exodus 20:4-5, Leviticus 26;1, Deutermonomy 27:15)
As the Dictionary.com defines idol as “an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed.”
“The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.” (An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John Henry “Cardinal Newman” pg. 373)
So, how can Catholics change God’s Ten Commandments?
This is what they claim:
“The Pope is of so great authority and power that he can modify, explain, or interpre even Divine Laws . . . The Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth.” Translated from Lucius Ferraris Prompta Bibliotheca, Papa, art. 2
So, if the Pope or the Catholic Church changed God’s commandments, what are they doing?
(Revelation 22:18) I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book (NASB)
“Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”2:27
Hi.
Please refer to the following:
For more information on this, please refer to http://www.experiencingwmscog.com/faq/sabbath-was-made-for-man/
hi peppe,
we must base the translation of the Holy Scriptures from the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic writings not on traditions. i know that it is not only the Ten Commandments wherein the the RCC and the early translators either made mistakes in translation or have intentionally altered what was originally written in the Holy Scriptures. As a result of these alterations comes confusion and deception. So if you have the chance to research on these using the exact translation of the Holy Scripture, please do so. i am sure after doing so, you will see for yourself that the Ten Commandments as originally written were altered and not the same in meaning as with the RCC version of the ten commandments. you must also understand the agenda of the RCC why they have to change the Ten Commandments and tailor-fit it to their own religious doctrine of promoting Sun worship which is observed every Sunday, in fact, they also changed the Biblical calendar and introduced the Gregorian Calendar. If you have a calendar with you right now, can you find the Sabbath Day? of course not, what you will see there is Saturday and Sunday which are kept by deceivingly most religions today as the days of worship to Saturn and the Sun. by the way, the lord’s day is not the Sabbath Day of the Holy Scriptures. the Sabbath Day is neither Saturday nor Sunday because the RCC changed the times and days which were originally observed in the Holy Scriptures by introducing and forcing the use of their own-made calendar. if you are after the truth and the salvation of your soul and your love ones, stop defending what is obviously wrong but rather find out for yourself the truth. pray and seek the wisdom of YHWH Elohim.

Jesus warned us not to change the Words of God — the Bible.
Those who do not follow the Bible cannot share in the tree of life and in the holy city, or in the kingdom of heaven. This article clearly shows that the Roman Catholic Church changed even the Ten Commandments. The Catholic Church and the Protestant churches keep Sunday Service, but it’s not based on the Bible. Even the Roman Catholic Church acknowledges that the Biblical Sabbath is Saturday not Sunday:
Please stop spreading this lie about the Catholic Church “changing the ten commandments”. It’s an ignorant assertion. We are commanded not to bear false witness, remember? And against fellow Christians, no less!
The so-called “Ten Commandments” are recorded in the Old Testament in two locations, Exodus 20 2-17
and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. There are many, many verses and some elements from Exodus don’t show up in Deuteronomy… including any reference to “graven images”. So if you claim that Catholics “changed the Bible” then you would also have to claim that the writers of Deuteronomy “changed scripture”. Of course both statements are false!
The only thing Catholics did is summarize the commandments given to Moses differently than Protestants. Protestants “changed the Bible” the very same way! Do you see now the nonsense inherent in this claim?
You can see all of the Old Testament verses right here side by side along with how they have been grouped. It can easily be argued that the Catholic numbering/summary is more faithful to the Bible because all ten “Catholic commandments” occur in both books of the Old Testament. This is not true of the ten “Protestant commandments”.
#====External link deleted====#
In summary, Catholic teaching is (once again!) MORE faithful to the Bible. Let those who have eyes see and ears hear!
Dear Rob VH
Thanks for your comment again.
Then, what would you say about the following statement from “The Faith of Our Father” published by the Roman Catholic Church?
The author said, “The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” Do I need to say something more?
In addition, what would you say about Christmas? Christmas is also not based on the Bible. Instead, it originated from Roman Festivals celebrating the birth of sun-god.

It’s important to follow the words of the Bible without adding to or subtracting from them:
I f you read all comments, you surely understand the Roman Catholic has Changed God’s laws
Even historical evidences prove the truths
Who can change God’s laws?
Rian, if you read my comments, you wouldn’t make that false claim again. The Catholic Church most certainly did not “change God’s laws”. They have no such authority, they do not claim to have it, they have never exercised any such authority, and they never will (as per Jesus’ promise).
If you actually read the OT books from whence the “Ten Commandments” come, you would understand that not only did Catholics not “remove” anything, the grouping they use is actually a better reflection of the OT passages! If you say that the Catholic Church removed the 2nd commandment, then you would also have to say that the author of Deuteronomy removed the 2nd commandment too! But the Bible is infallible, isn’t it? If so, then your claim MUST be false.
The table on this web page makes it very clear how the Catholic Church summarized the “Ten Commandments” based on the OT scriptures:
Protestants have summarized it differently (and less logically, frankly). Why? It’s so that they could do exactly what this page is doing 500 years later: falsely accuse the Catholic Church. The devil must be laughing to see Protestants attacking their Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ over this false propaganda. After all, a body divided is weaker and much energy has been wasted with these false claims and “poaching Catholics from their congregations” when that energy SHOULD be devoted to true evangelization and reaching out to the unsaved!
Hello Rian
Thanks for your comment.
Currently, the Roman Catholic Church keeps Sunday service, not the Sabbath.
However, even the books from the Roman Catholic Church acknowledge that the Catholic Church changed the service day (from the Sabbath day to Sunday.)
The famous book titled “The Faith of Millions” says, “Saturday (Sabbath), not Sunday, is specified in the Bible. And it says that Sunday service was introduced by the authority of the Catholic Church. If you really want to insist that the Roman Catholic Church did not “change God’s laws”, the Roman Catholic Church should have kept the Sabbath, not Sunday service.
The book titled “The Faith of Our Fathers” also acknowledges that Sunday service is not based on the Bible:
The author of “The Faith of Our Fathers” clearly wrote, “The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.”
If the Roman Catholic Church had not changed God’s Laws, they should have kept the Sabbath and other God’s Laws. However, they keep Sunday Service, which shows they do not obey God’s Laws.
Dear Rob VH
Thanks for your comments.
I would like to ask you one question: Could you please present me the 2nd commandment of God that forbids us from worshiping idols in the Ten Commandments of the Roman Catholic Church?
(You know you can’t because the 2nd commandment of God which forbids idolatry was removed by the Catholic Church.)
And, for the true meaning of the Lord’s Day, please refer to the following page:
https://mygodchristahnsahnghong.com/2013/08/29/jesus-is-the-lord-of-the-sabbath/
Jesus is the lord of the Sabbath. Jesus and His Disciples kept the Sabbath day.
Please refer to the following web-page for the origin of Sunday Service:

We must not add to or subtract from the words of the Bible (Revelation 22:18-19.) Unfortunately, the appearances of today’s churches including the Roman Catholic Church are far from that of the Early Church written in the Bible. We should keep what Jesus commanded. What did Jesus command us to keep? Did He command us to keep the Sunday Service? Did He command us to keep Christmas? (You know, Christmas on Dec. 25 is first known to have been celebrated in Rome in the second quarter of the 4th century (https://mygodchristahnsahnghong.com/2012/11/23/christmas-is-not-based-on-the-bible-christmas-was-the-date-of-a-pagan-festival-in-rome-for-celebrating-the-birthday-of-sun-god-the-unconquered-sun/).) Jesus established the new covenant (Luke 22:20) and even said, “I have eagerly desired to keep this Passover with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15) allowing us to have the forgiveness of sins through the Passover of the new covenant:
I hope you will realize the importance of the new covenant.
Thank you again for dropping by my blog.
It’s not allowed to add to or subtract from the words of God (Revelation 22:18-19.)
The saints who will be saved keep God’s commandments:
The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) obeys the new covenant established by Jesus and restored by Christ Ahnsahnghong according to the prophecies of the Bible.
I seen the other day on the news a newscaster called the Pope, God’s right hand man. Jesus is God’s right hand man. Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, Jesus was crucified for our forgiveness of sins.
Then, how can we have the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice of Jesus on a cross?
It’s through the Passover of the New Covenant.
We can have the forgiveness of sins only through the Passover established by Jesus’ blood. So, Jesus said, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15) and declared the Passover as the new covenant (Luke 22:20.)
Therefore, it’s written that Jesus is the Mediator of the new covenant.
Christ intercedes for us through the new covenant of the Passover.
Unfortunately, the Passover completely disappeared in AD 325. In addition, all truth established by Jesus disappeared including the Sabbath day.
Sunday and Christmas originated from pagan customs celebrating a pagan god — sun god. We cannot be saved through such man-made festivals. It’s well-known that the Roman Catholic Church changed the Ten Commandments (Please see the above article.)
For this reason, it’s prophesied that Christ is to come a second time to bring salvation by restoring the new covenant to intercede for us (Hebrews 9:28.) For more information, please refer to http://english.watv.org/truth/truth_life/list.asp
Pope not Jesus.
Dear Rob VH;
Thanks for your comment.
I would like to clarify who changed the law of God. You mentioned:
For example, the Roman Catholic Church does not keep the Sabbath day but Sunday. Regarding this, the Catholic Church acknowledges that the Biblical Sabbath is Saturday not Sunday:
The author confesses that he read the whole books of the Bible but did not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. And the book titled “The Faith of Millions”, wrote as follows:
It also says that Sunday is not specified in the Bible.
The book titled “Is what people who? (http://goo.gl/oWFGZo)” published by Catholic Publishing wrote, “In the New Testament, no verses are found which authorize us to keep Sunday as the Lord’s Day. But for such reason as I just said, it was specified as such by the authority of the Church [Roman Catholic Church]” (p.70.)
Therefore, your claim that the Roman Catholic Church did not change the law of God is not correct.
How can ppl change the commandments of God? No matter what the catholic church say, it is a serious crime against God. Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey ppl’s words rather than God’s words
Absolutely! Whoever breaks the commandments of God shall be punished!
Gods’ people should not pray to or worship the dead. The worship of the saints was originated from the custom of Babylon. We must pray to God only, not to the dead.
It’s not allowed to set up any images in related with religion. Therefore, setting up crosses or making saint statues violates the 2nd commandment of God. Saint worship was derived from pagan religion of Babylon.
[Explanation about the Bronze Snake of Moses]
When the Israelites committed sins against God, God sent venomous snakes among them.; they bit the people and many Israelites died. When Moses prayed to God, He said to Moses: “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
Then, we need to think the following carefully:
What did make the Israelites live when they saw the bronze snake?
The bronze snake itself had no power to heal the Israelites. The Word of God “anyone who is bitten can look at it and live” survived them.
However, the Israelites did not know this fact and they worshiped the bronze snake for a long time.
But when King Hezekiah broke into pieces the bronze snake, God praised him.
The act of King Hezekiah was right. Nehushtan means “a piece of bronze.” In other words, the bronze snake was a mere idol made of bronze and had no power to give blessings or disasters. Then, how could the King Hezekiah recognize the bronze snake as an idol and broke into pieces it? When he kept the Passover, his eyes were opened and could recognize the idols within the temple (2 Chronicles 30:1-12; 30:27; 31:1.)

P.S.)
Mr. Rov Vh.
Thanks for your comment.
I hope that you understand the commandment of God which forbids idolatry.
[Additional Explanation]
God banned idolatry and made it the 2nd commandment of the Ten Commandments:
God even commanded NOT to make an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. It’s not allowed to make any idols such as crosses or saint statues.
Please see the following video about worshiping the saints within the Roman Catholic Church:

how dare could change God’s laws??
Even if he/she is an angel, it CAN NOT be possible to change God’s laws.
Shame on them!
They will surely receive severe punishments for their sins!
According to what we have done! Those who cherish God’s teachings will enter heaven’s kingdom while others the hell.What makes the difference between them? It’s following God’s teaching with all their heart!
