Can God's Commandments be changed?

Some have tried, and say they have the authority, but do they?

The table below shows the Ten Commandments as personally spoken and written by God using the King James translation and the Ten Commandments as changed by the Roman Catholic Church. They believe that their authority stands above the Word of God and that they can change God's times and laws and God will prescribe to their changes. You will note that they deleted the second Commandment and changed God's Sabbath to Sunday and split the tenth Commandment into two to get back to Ten Commandments. As a result the Roman Catholic version of the Ten Commandments is always one ahead of the King James in the Decalogue until the tenth Commandment when they break it into two and make it the ninth and tenth Commandments.

Bible Ten Commandments
******************************************************************************************************************************************

1stI am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2ndExodus 20:4-6 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my Commandments.
Deleted.

3rdThou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God In vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

4thRemember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5thHonour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

6thThou shalt not kill.

7thThou shalt not commit adultery.

8thThou shalt not steal.

9thThou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

10thThou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Catholic Ten Commandments
******************************************************************************************************************************

1st
I am the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no strange gods before Me.

(The second Commandment has been deleted or sometimes it has been absorbed into the first. All remaining Commandments are therefore shifted along one count.)

2ndThou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.

3rdRemember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

(The Sabbath is fourth by normal count. The day to be kept is no longer mentioned since they claim they can change the Sabbath to Sunday.)

4thHonour thy father and thy mother.

5thThou shalt not kill.

6thThou shalt not commit adultery.

7thThou shalt not steal.

8thThou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

9thThou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.

(The Tenth Commandment is split into two to get back to Ten Commandments.)
10thThou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.

The following verse is God's warning from the Bible that there would be those that would think to change His laws:
Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Note it says they would think to change LAWS.
