    is Hallmark Entertainment [us], http://www.imdb.com/company/co0069955/ , the production company privately owned or publicly traded or what?

    this is the company that remade the ten commandments, i am trying to figure where the profit went for this movie.

    also for the 1956 version http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Cecil B. DeMille

    so does anyone know if this guy put the profits back into religion.

    not too mention all these http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=ten commandments

    and if the profits do not all return to the religion, does this mean money is not belonging to anyone and that's why the producers aren't neccesarily taking what is not there's to justify the ten commandments. If this is so, piracy of any of these is clearly legitimate by the rules of "Allah". and more so
    than if money can be exchanged for goods should not all theft be justified. I must be interpretting this wrong.

    in the 56 version they omited to point out, that god made a mistake with the commandments, the second set were different from the first, I wonder have they done the same in the mini series, if so it would not be biblically factual, then again when has any religion been honest.

    with thanks to misty, here thay are.

    when Moses first came down from Mount Sinai with the commandments, he just recited from a list (Exodus 20:2-17), which is the what most churches today call the "Ten Commandments",in error I might add, although they were not engraved on stone tablets and not called "the ten commandments."
    The first set of tablets were given to Moses on another trip up the mountain (Exodus 31:18). in this story moses was enraged, so smashed them, when he saw his people worshiping the golden calf (Exodus 32:19).
    So up he went again for a replacement. God said "Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest." (Exodus 34:1) and Here is what was written on the new tablets (from Exodus 34:14-26):

    1) Thou shalt worship no other God.
    2) Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
    3) The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep.
    4) Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest.
    5) Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks.
    6) Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God.
    7) Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven.
    8) Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the morning.
    9) The first of the firstfruits of thy land shalt thou bring unto the house of the Lord thy God.
    10) Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

    in comparison to the one in Exodus 20 (was god's memory dodgy?), it is only this list that is called the "Ten Commandments": "And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments." (Exodus 34:28)

    however there is a third set spoken by jesus and there still wrong.
    In Matthew 19:18-19 his list is this
    1) Thou shalt do no murder
    2) Thou shalt not commit adultery
    3) Thou shalt not steal
    4) Thou shalt not bear false witness
    5) Honour thy father and thy mother
    6) Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself
    he forgot the rest, him being the son of god and all?

    *************
    M*W: You are right about this. What Moses allegedly read was the Code of Hammurabi, since that's where the TC came from. Where indicated that one should worship only one god, that implied Hammurabi, himself, not the god of YHWH. This also gives credence to the historical lack of the Exodus. However, the myth of "coming out of Egypt" was first clebrated as the festival of Passover or the vernal equinox that occurred in the heavens as the migration of the "Jews." It was astrologically based. The Pentateuch, when read with a fine-tooth comb, easily spells out the astrotheology of "monotheism" or "sun worship." If Moses existed at all, he would have been a pharaoh who promoted "monotheism" also known as "sun worship."

    Another aspect of the Moses myth is the "parting of the Red Sea." This little story is not found in another other document in history. In some cultures of Ceylon/Sri Lanka, the shepherd kings (pharaohs) were driven across what was called "Adam's Bridge," and drowned. This Moses myth has been found in Hawai'ian and Hottentot lore. The "crossing of the Red Sea" can be interpreted astrologically, and stated by Josephus to have occurred at the autumnal equinox, indicating its origin in the Moses myth.

    The TC are a repitition of the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi and the Hindu Vedas.

    Ultimately,the "Law of Moses" were the ancient Eqyptian laws. The stele with the Code of Hammurabi on it didn't exist until 1,000 years after Moses, which proves the story of Moses and the Exodus as it appeared in the Pentateuch was pulp fiction.

    The copyright laws in the USA, at least in those days, were pretty well defined. Copyrights expire after a certain number of years. At that point the work becomes part of the public domain. Everyone is then allowed to use it for free.

    The basic doctrine involved is that every work, no matter how impressive, eventually becomes part of its overall culture by being discussed, taught, quoted, and ultimately absorbed. We believe it would be unfair to continue to pay royalties to Bach's great-great-great-etc. grandchildren for something they had no hand in.

    This applies to the works of Omar Khayyam, Shakespeare, and Beethoven. It certainly applies to the bible.
