    The answer is no.

    Jesus came to fulfill the commandments and gave us a way to obey God not by fear but by love. In the Old Testament period, the Israelites failed to obey commandments but now with the power of Holy Spirit we everybody can easily obey to God by love of Jesus Christ.
    Jesus not replaced Ten Commandments but the commandments are now to be obeyed by different manner. Jesus says in Mathew 5:17-37 that we should not even get anger with his brother, which is equal to murder, we should not even see a women with lust which is equal to adultery. We should not even falsely swear which breaks ninth commandment. We should love our neighbours and enemies, which is tenth commandment.

    He also says two commandments in Mathew 22:37-40 that
    1. Love the Lord your God with all your mind heart and soul and
    2. Love your neighbour as yourself.

    The first one is the summary of first four commandments of Ten Commandments. The second one is summary of last six commands of Ten Commandments.

    So, as the Bible says every Christians should obey to ten commandments and also with faith of Jesus (Rev14:12).

    Some say we are under grace not under commandments .Yes its true but the grace does not exempt us from obeying God.

    Paul says in Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Even many Christian denominations follows doctrines not based from Bible but on keeping Ten Commandments they will argue.

    • Great answer! Don't forget Jesus said that He did not come to do away with the Ten Commandments.
