It is logical. There is the Old Testament and the New Testament. After the Lord came to Earth as God the Son He made a new agreement and after He left He allowed the gentiles to partake in His offer of salvation. He did away with the old. However, the Ten Commandments are more than just part of the laws of Israel. It is explained pretty well in the article I posted but you don't want to read it.
Where in the Bible is it explicitly stated by Jesus that all other OT laws are henceforth abolished? Your own article that you linked to doesn’t even say that:
Quote:8. They are critical to our understanding of the rest of the Old Testament law.
While it’s true that the Bible doesn’t say to print the Ten Commandments in boldface, we shouldn’t undersell their special stature in ancient Israel. They came from God as he spoke to the people face-to-face (Deut. 5:1–5), and they came from Mount Sinai amid fire, cloud, thick darkness, and a loud voice (Deut. 5:22–27). Exodus 20 marks a literal and spiritual high point in the life of Israel. It’s no wonder the tablets of the law, along with the manna and Aaron’s staff, were placed inside the ark of the covenant (Heb. 9:4)
There are many more laws in the Old Testament. But these first ten are foundational for the rest. The Ten Commandments are like the constitution for Israel, and what follows are the regulatory statutes.
Pretty sure that, according to The Big Book of Contradictory Myths, that Jesus stated that he came to enforce the laws, not to change them.
But then, according to the same BBCM, Jesus, the all knowing, cursed a fig tree for not blooming out of season...
