Obey the commandments?
If someone violated one of the ten commandments, they will go to Hell? For instance, they do not observe the Sabbath (saturday or Sunday?). What if they Lied? I think the Christians I know avoid violating the commandments. When they do slip and all of us will, I thought Jesus forgives?

There are many more commandments than just the 10. The 10 were a subset of all the commandments of God. They had a specific function and were tailored for the Hebrews coming out of Egypt. God was starting them down a path back to Him after they had lived in idolatry for 400 years. In other words, He started them out with something simple that they could follow.
Jesus reinstated the full law.
Jesus does forgive if His criteria is met. The Lord has always required, first believe, then go and do.
