When he brought the first set down from the Mountain, he found some of the people worshiping a golden calf and he threw down the commandments and the earth opened up and swallowed the people. He went back up the Mountain and returned with a "new" set.
Think of the first 10 Commandments as the 'Bill of Rights" in The Bible and the other 603 as the 'Constitution of the United States of America'.

Yes, the great commandment to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is seen by many as summarizing the entire moral law, including the Ten Commandments. Jesus himself taught that all the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Matthew 22:37-40 - Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." [NKJV]The natural outcome of their keeping is compliance with all others. That's why Jesus said all the Law and the Prophets "hang" on these two.
Partly. see Matthew 19:17-19, Mark 10:19 & Luke 18:20.Jesus added "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (see Leviticus 18:20) & "Defraud not" (see Leviticus 19:13)----------Every one of the Ten commandments from the Old Testament is repeated in the New in one form or another except one. This is the command to keep the sabbath which is not part of the New Testament.
The Ark of the Law contained the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. According to the Old Testament, it was a sacred repository for this important religious artifact.
Matthew 22:35-40 - Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."[NKJV]

Christ taught that love fulfils the Old Testament law.
William H. Thomas has written: 'Jesus Christ and the Commandments' -- subject(s): Ten commandments 'Law and license' -- subject(s): Law enforcement, Crime
The ten commandments were abolished by Jesus Christ death. Matt. 5:17,21,23,27,31,38. "He fulfilled the Law.... Christ is the end of the law. (Romans 10:4) (Colossians 2:13-16)
Yes, the great commandment to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is seen by many as summarizing the entire moral law, including the Ten Commandments. Jesus himself taught that all the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Romans 7:6,7 states that "Now we have been discharged from the Law, because ..... Matt. 5:17,21,33,23,27,31,38 says" "do Not think I came to destroy the Law or the prophets, I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill." Jesus, mixed together references from the ten commandments and other parts of the Law, making no distinction between them. He full-filled all the commandments, including the ten. Thus, we are no longer under the ten commandments as a LAW. Of course the principles of the ten commandments are still very valuable. Jesus instituted the new law or commandments at Matt. 22:35-40 that we should love God will all our heart, etc. ....
Depends who you are asking, but many would say the 10 commandments.
In the Bible, it says that when Jesus died, the law died with Him...now most people believe that this was the 10 commandments but in fact it was the law of Moses that died with Jesus.....to explain, Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Moses' law was one that had people sacrificing animals to cleanse themselves from sin, but God sent Jesus to die for our sins so we no longer need Moses' law.
At Matthew 22:37, Jesus said that the whole law hangs on these two greatest commandments: that we must love GOD with your whole heart, soul, and mind; and we must each love our neighbor as ourself.
The Ten Commandments are a description of the Natural Law.
Matthew 22:37-40 - Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." [NKJV]The natural outcome of their keeping is compliance with all others. That's why Jesus said all the Law and the Prophets "hang" on these two.
