So if we live by faith it's ok to break all of the 10 commandments, and we aren't to be held responsible?
I believe I read somewhere that if we love G-d,
we will obey his commandments.

If you live by faith you won't be worrying about the ten commandments. Was Abraham righteous? He didn't even have the Ten, he slept with someone not his wife and impregnated her. He slaughtered kings and was going to kill his son. God called that man righteous because of his faith.

Was David righteous? He had the Ten and he broke the law by eating the shew bread which was not lawful. Even after sending a man to his death so he could take his wife God said he would have given her to him if he would have asked. Aside from that specific act of adultery he didn't have only one wife. God said he was a man after his own heart.

Noah passed out drunk naked in his tent so his kids could see him but God cursed his son who mocked him. God also saw him fit enough to be the only man saved, besides his sons, from the flood.

I will say this, its obvious what men see as righteous and what God sees are two different things and I will take Gods righteousness over mans any day. If you say you obey the Ten Commandments and break one you will be judged of all, not only that but if you are married to Jesus but live with Moses that makes you a whore and thats all there is to it.

The best bet would be repentance from trying to keep the Ten and asking God to change your heart to walk by faith like Jesus and to have mercy on your self righteousness. I did it and so will everyone.

Finally, the law was given to the Jews because of disobedience and the gentiles get the law for the same reason.
