text: why do christians still follow the ten commandments? if the old testament no longer applies to christians, because jesus was fulfillment of the prophecies of the ot, and the laws of moses no longer apply, then why do christians still follow the ten commandments?  didn't jesus make them obsolete? many (matt.7:14)christians try to cite verses(1tim.1:7)(mark 7:7) to say the "10 commandments are done away with"; when they don't know what the passage is saying. they want to attack jesus; so they're against christ; so i wouldn't call them christians. but back to your question-- some (matt.7:14)christians still keep the law because the bible tells us to. these same christians follow jesus (col.2:6). here are the verses for the 10 commandments in new testament:      rom.3:31; gal.3:21; john 14:15; 15:10; 1john 3:4,24; 5:2-3; rev.12:17; 14:7,12
