Q: In reading a recent issue of The Good News I discovered that someone made an error in regard to the Fourth Commandment. It stated that the Fourth Commandment is "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." In my catechism, the Fourth Commandment is to "Honor our father and mother." The Third Commandment is to "Remember the Sabbath Day." Please correct this error.

A: No one disputes that there are a total of 10 Commandments in number (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4). They are listed in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. However, another method of numbering developed some time after the biblical canon was complete.
