The Law kills us. It can never set us free. It can only show us how far we have fallen from God's glory. Agreed. The Ten Commandments are repeated referred to as the "tablets of the covenant" - referring to the first covenant with the Jews.
Through Christ, we have been set free from that convenant (the law), and have been made partakers of a better convenant (Hebrews 8). We have also been given New commandments (John 13:34, 1 John 3:23, etc.)

A remarkable thing about the absoluteness of Truth: you can not violate one of the Ten Commandments without violating what Christ commanded. The fullness of Truth... the Word made flesh, Jesus.
