The truth:

I am the Lord your God whom I brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slaves.

The lie:

The Jewish-Christian world generally recognizes the first commandment added to the second, 'Thou shall not have any other gods over me...
2)

You understand, the Jews have the source, the Christians change it - in order to cut off the first commandment and add to it what the Jews know as the second commandment.
3)

The problem is that many Jews, including many liberal Rabbis, often quote the Christian version found in the Latin Christian Bible and the St. James Bible.
4)

What is the difference? Because Christianity wanted to make the Ten Commandments universal and not particularly Jewish. They wanted to turn them into faith mainly and not Jewish National identity.
5)

But the fact is that the ten commandments start with the statement that applies to Jews only. It clearly states that the Torah was given by the Creator to the people taken out of Egypt from the bondage of slavery,
6)

that this gift of civilization was given to the Jewish nation and not to anyone else.
7)

And so, the Torah is for the Jewish people. This does not mean that she cannot be a resource for other nations, nor that her wisdom should not be available to the whole world, but that she is the national property of the Jews mainly.
8)

The extra lesson here is this: If you want to know what the Torah says, it should be in its original form, in its original language, not in translations that not only lose up to 35% of their meaning due to translation problems between language systems,
9)

but that many translations have changed things to promote non-Jewish theology."
