Hi I had heard that when Jesus came and established the new covenant that this made the old covenant between God and the Israelites obsolete. Now since the 10 commandments were made in the old covenant and given to the Jewish people and only them, does that make the 10 commandments void or invalid or obsolete? I know Jesus gave new commandments and basically his commandment of Love God and your neighbour basically covers all the commandments anyways, but still just wondering. Thanks.
 
Hi,

Jesus did not replace the Ten Commandments. In saying that He was giving a new commandment, i.e,. to love one another as He has loved us, He was only fine tuning what the old Law always taught.
