No--I once took a course from a Jewish scholar who wrote an entire book on the Seven Deadly Sins, so I got that one straight. Actually there is (as I am sure you know) considerable confusion over the Ten Commandments, with German Lutherans siding with Catholics against other Protestants. I think it has to do with making "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife" a completely separate commandment rather than including wives along with everything else that thou shalt not covet. If you split covetousness into two commandments,however, then you have to go back and fold "I am the Lord Thy God" in with "Thou shalt have no other gods" to bring it back down to ten. There's some denomination that makes "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house" a separate commandment, I think. Obviously Moses needed a good lawyer. Shows what happens if you try to do things on your own.
