There are 306 Commandments that Moses was given and all the Jews were ordered to obey them all. They often did not. This is through the Bible. When Jesus came Jesus stated in Matthew, chapter 5 that we are to not forget a single one of them. Peter decided that the Christians that had not been Jewish first did not have to obey them all. But still learn them as Jesus said.
in 305/6 29 men decided to start a new religion that would NOT obey all Jesus said. It is called Catholic today. They only have nine Commandments. They removed the second Commandment that orders everyone to pray to God and only to God! Then took the tenth Commandment and split it into two commandments, so they could say they have ten.
So to your question, if your Catholic I would recommend that you pick you the second Commandment and at least read the other 296. If you are Protestant, read the other 296. A lot of people claim Jesus taught tons of new rules, but most of them are in these 296 Commandments no one is admitting to.

I would delete none of them, as they are the word of God. And where would I recieve authority to add additional commandments. This was done by the Father, and even the Son cannot change the pre-existing commandments. However, I do believe that he has returned, and that Christ is master of the Law. I would expect to see additional "laws" to be enacted during tribulation, which is happening now.

Gentiles (non-Jews) were never subject to the 10 commandments (Moses) nor the Kosher laws.
Even before Jesus they only had to follow the Noahide laws to follow the god of Abraham.
Many of us hope that there some sort of survival of self after death. It is likely a combination of fear of death, ego, and our evolutionarily refined drive to survive.
It is impossible to prove in the survival of personality after death:
Through the science of parapsychology it has been proven that clairvoyance exists (parapsychologists stopped trying to statistically prove its existence back in the 50's; they have been concentrating on how/why it works since then) .
To prove the survival of personality after death, some piece of information that only the person that passed on would know would have to be revealed to the living.
The information would either be verifiable by other means or not.
If the information was verifiable then it could, also, have been found out through clairvoyance.

it's not the Ten Commandments that need to be revised it's the people that need to obey.

None should be deleted, or changed.
Jesus did some minor modifications, but the basic 10commandments remain the same.
God wouldn't and won't change His laws
Anyway I think they still are those basic rules we should follow.

None. You want them edited so you can do wrong. I dont think so, because they're the best laws to live by. They simplify everyday sins and say it plainly: DO NOT DO THIS. Many dont even live by them anymore, so why would you bother changing them when mankind doesn't even care about what God wants?

They could use some motor vehicle regulations, some corporate financial disclosure rules and one about cheating on elections for Ohio and Florida.

A lot of people would like to revise them. That's why our culture has become pretty much a sewer.
