You mention the OT and then they say it's not valid anymore because it is replaced with the NT.
Then they quote from the 10 commandments and ignore you when you point ot thtat they're in the OT.
And Jesus himself, when asked how many to keep, listed only 5!
Not that we are debating degrees here . . . oh. maybe we are.
Jesus gave a whole list of commandments believers are to keep or else they will end up in the lake of fire. He made the Law more rigid.

Luke 12
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 14
33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
And more. Christians don't actually follow the commands of Jesus, never will.
I'll bet that out of the current 7 billion plus people on Earth no more than 100,000 actually believe in their favorite deity, which ever one it is. And that includes the Popes.
