Some don’t wish to see the Commandments of Exodus 20:14 displayed in public. The Commandments that are the foundation upon which my country’s laws were built. God’s Commandments regarding murder – false witness – honor of parents – theft, they may not be so bothered by those. My guess is it might be number seven.
I think number seven troubles quite a few. Unfaithfulness, unfaithfulness in marriage, unfaithfulness to God. Vows given, vows broken. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
There was a Bible published in London in 1631 that the State ordered destroyed. It is sometimes called “The Sinner’s Bible.” In the Sinner’s Bible, the Seventh Commandment reads “Thou shalt commit adultery.”
Ten copies are believed to have survived. They are highly prized and several are displayed to the public without complaint.
