No problem. The other thing that gets absolutely wonderful with the ten commandments is that the commandments aren't actually numbered in any place that they are found in the bible. And so different groups numbered them different ways.
So if you have a list that has "Honor your mother and father" as the
4th commandment, that indicates that the Catholics/Lutherans are doing it right and everyone else is doing it wrong. If "Honor your mother and father" is the
5th commandment, then that indicates that the Catholics/Lutherans are doing it wrong and everyone else is doing it right.
Also, even within the non-Catholic/Lutherans, the division of the first two commandments is done differently with the Jews doing it one way, the Eastern Orthodox doing it another and most protestant groups doing it a third. See (
