Jesus has replaced Mosaic Law for Gentiles. They only have merit for Jews.

Why are supposed Christians so hot on the Ten Commandments (not realizing, of course, that Mosaic Law contains well over 400 'commandments' )?

Because they use it to choose whom to shun, whom to rail against, even though most "Christians" have violated more than one of those 'commandments'.

If Moses delivered those tablets today, Trump would take his sharpie marker and cross out the adultery and blasphemy and coveting neighbors stuff and false idolatry and bearing false witness parts.
