The Ten Commandments

Line 49:

The third commandment instructs not only to refrain from taking [[Name of God|God’s name]] in vain but also to call upon His name in holiness. The [[temple]] is where God has placed His name,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Chronicles+2%3A4&version=NIV |title=2 Chronicles 2:4 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+9%3A3&version=NIV |title=1 Kings 9:3 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> and within the temple, His name must be invoked according to the established ordinances so that it may be revered.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+16%3A5-6&version=NIV |title=Deuteronomy 16:5–6 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

When [[Commandments of God|God’s decrees]] are disregarded in favor of [[Teachings of Men|man-made rules]]—such as declaring, “This prayer week is for the forgiveness of sins committed throughout the year,” or neglecting God’s Passover and arbitrarily instituting the Holy Supper on a different day, saying, “This bread and this cup represent the body and blood of Jesus, who redeemed us”—this constitutes misusing God’s name and profaning Him. Therefore, breaking the first commandment inevitably leads to breaking the third commandment as well.

In Augustine’s classification, the commandment, “You shall not worship any idols,”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A4&version=NIV |title=Exodus 20:4 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> was combined with the first commandment, making it absent from the list of the Ten Commandments. To fill the resulting gap, the tenth commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house,”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A17&version=NIV |title=Exodus 20:17 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> was divided into two parts: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife” and “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.” Additionally, the fourth commandment, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A8&version=NIV |title=Exodus 20:8 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> was modified to command the observance of [[Lord’s Day Worship (Sunday Worship)|“the Lord’s Day” (Sunday)]] instead. This represents a human alteration of [[Commandments of God|God’s commandments]]. The Bible warns that anyone who adds to or takes away from God’s word will not receive salvation.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+4%3A2&version=NIV |title=Deuteronomy 4:2 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+22%3A18-19&version=NIV |title=Revelation 22:18–19 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>
