The commandments are only believed when it's convenient. Are clergy who molested children still called men of the cloth? Come on.

answer: 613 commandments in Judaism - 3 hundred+ that are nonetheless possible without the temple, priest classification and sacrifices. Jews do attempt to stick to those commandments. The commandments in stone have been a small element of the 613 yet of course significant sufficient that G-d needed those particular 10 paid interest to. some Christians declare they are no longer "below the regulation", others say they're below the admonishment to stick to the ten commandments. Jews have by no ability taught that each and all and sundry human beings are below the 613 commandments, in basic terms Jews. To be seen righteous non-Jews are asked to look on the 7 Noahide regulations to realize G-d till now later whilst one dies.

Christians should not follow the Ten Commandments to establish their own righteousness with God. We have God's righteousness in us by grace to come before God. But for Christians it is still useful to follow the Ten Commandments for our life on earth, this is more a legal rather spiritual act.
Paul stated in Gal 3:10 that those who follow the law (to establish their own righteousness) will subject themselves to the curse of the law and fall from grace. The last time I visited Israel I was told that there were not many religious Jews.

The only person who has ever kept them perfectly was Jesus Christ. He told us that if we have broken even one of them we are guilty of breaking them all. No, Christians can still be called Christians and Jews can be called Jews. This does not depend upon one's perfect obedience to the 10 commandments.

It's hard to follow Ten Commandments, as we're all just humans. Many people claim they are Christians, but also think "I'm a good person and breaking one commandment from time to time is not important..." You're not a Christian if you don't want to follow the rules of Christianity. If it's very difficult to you to follow them, but at last you try - you're all right.
There are many people who don't care about Christianity at all, as well as people who try to live as Jesus told us to. It depends...

Hard to say. True believers will follow the 10 Commandments though.

The 10 commandments were written by moses to solve a particukar societak problem a long time ago. They were not given to him by god. He neede to appeal to a perceived higher power so he said they came from god

Don't know but they ARE embarrassed by the judicial mountain of laws and even they are in dire need of revision.and the ten laws are passe anyway (e.g.) thou shalt not have false gods ...never seen one that wasn't. Thou shalt not kill . ever met a christian/jew that didn't?

None. They all have some kind of sin that's need to be forgiven. They are rules to followed most of the time silly. Are we talking absolutes? Very vague question.
