The ten Commandments are still Valid today correct? if not then why in the New Testiment, which many Christians will say that the commandments were done away with when Jesus Died, but in the New Testiment it says:
John 14:21 (Whole Chapter)
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:15 (Whole Chapter)
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
This does not say keep some of my commandments, it says "if you LOVE me, KEEP my commandments" So why do people choose to ignore that and follow their Pastor ot Priest or even a Pope, who obviously goes against the Bible.

You say that you hear of no Christians saying the Ten Commandments are not valid but if you ask a Jehovah's Witness about the Sabbath they will say oh that commandment is not valid anymore. ok so they chose to leave out one commandment, so they think they can pick and choose which one they choose to follow?

No, the Ten Commandments are not valid today because they were never valid. And if you are so adamant that Jesus wants us to keep the Commandments, why not ALL of the OT commandments? Why are you only singling out 10 of them? What about Leviticus 11:9-12?

I personally don't know any Christians who would say the 10 Commandments are no longer valid. You might hear some say that Jesus' command to love God above all else and to love others and you love yourself has pretty much summed up all the commandments is the basis for good living.

Christ Said: I have not come to change one Iota (iota is a symbol like "~" over a letter to change the sound of the letter) of the law!
You have the 10 commandments and the Law of Moses.
NONE have been done away with.
Paul changed the law of circumcision for gentiles saying one must be circumcised of the heart.
The Sabbath is interpreted to mean 1 day in 7 and keep that day holly.
Man is the only one changing them. So who you going to believe man or God?
If you wish to live in the Law as Juda does then follow all the laws perfectly
Jesus is our Passover our one time for all sacrifice for all our sins and because of that fact we do not need to follow all the Laws perfectly but must follow the 10 commandments to the word.

Any person can personally choose to observe the sabbath, and do so with God's favor. However, the entire Mosaic Law was superceded by Jesus.
The Scriptures, however, show that several of those laws were either preceeded (murder, for example) and/or superceded (idolatry, for example) by the writings of the earlier prophets or Christian bible writers.
There is indication that the early congregation considered the sabbath and circumcision (both of which preceeded the Mosaic law), and the early congregation recognized that both these laws had served their purpose and would NOT apply to Christianity.
(Acts 15:28-29) For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to YOU, except these necessary things, 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper.

Yes, you are correct: we are to follow the 10 commandments. Jesus came to uphold the Law, not abolish it.
One point that is incorrect in your statement...
The Catholic Church does not teach that we do not have to follow the 10 commandments. The Catholic Church teaches that it is our fundmental requirement to follow the 10 commandments.
The pope and our priests are in no way against the Bible. I was a protestant and became Catholic and went through a 6 month class for my confirmation; we studied this thoroughly.
