This guy does not seem very well educated in Christian theology or history. Although it is true that not all of the details of the Mosaic law are applicable to non-Jews, it is always been taught that the Ten Commandments remain applicable to followers of Jesus.

Even though the day of the Sabbath was changed (perhaps for not completely honorable reasons), the idea of a day of rest was retained for centuries, even though that has largely vanished in modern times. Sunday is now filled with all sorts of work and "busyness," from yard work, to shopping, to professional sports events.

“This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3).

The Ten Commandments were essentially a summary of the entire Old Testament law. Nine of the Ten Commandments are clearly repeated in the New Testament (all except the command to observe the Sabbath day).

Obviously, if we are loving God, we will not be worshipping false gods or bowing down before idols. If we are loving our neighbors, we will not be murdering them, lying to them, committing adultery against them, or coveting what belongs to them.

If we obey those two commands to LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARS and TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR As OURSELVES faithfully, we will be upholding all that God requires of us — INCLUDING the 10 Commandments.

These mega-churches that draw in mega-bucks are looking for a way to condone gay marriage, in an effort to be socially relevant.

God didn't change it. Don't blame God for what the people fail to do.
