The new list doesn't contain:
1- "You shall have no other gods before me.
2- "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them,
4- "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.

Amen, brother! More people need to hear this.
Edit: People, you don't seem to realize that his point is this: "Christians" are falling farther and farther away from their Redeemer and His commandments. The commandments are still in the Bible, but people ignore them if they put them at any inconvenience.

The 10 commandments were only for the Jews. Jesus put in place a new covenant with the Gentiles (everyone outside of Israel) and he gave two main laws.
First, love God your Creator more than anything else. Then, love all other people the same as you love yourself."
Jesus also left many smaller commandments.
1. GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM.
2. DO NOT RETURN OFFENSE FOR OFFENSE.
3. STORE UP YOUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH.
4.DO NOT TAKE THE TITLES 'MASTER' OR 'FATHER' FOR YOURSELF.
5. BE LIKE THE GOOD SAMARITAN
6. EAT BREAD AND DRINK WINE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
ect...

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in Vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not murder.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie).

I don't believe the Christian have only 7
But we have 12 and check them out!!!
Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
Wahoo

That's a new one on me, never heard that one before. Definitely not true.
Actually, if you follow Christ's two commands, the other ones fall right into place.
Love the Lord, your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
If you follow those two, there's no way you can screw up the others.
Have a great day!

No. Those three you just mentioned are in the ten commandments. You may have been confused though becasue generally, when teaching the Ten Commandments, they separate them into two separate catagories: The ones that tell you how to worship God and the ones that tell you how to live.
The ones you mentioned are the ones in the group that tell you how to worship God. (I hope this helps!)
