Yep, and the Old Covenant(Covenant of Law) passed away, and we entered the Covenant of Grace. The laws handed down to and for the Isrealites, and there adherence to them, were no longer "the way to heaven". Thus, the Ten Commandments, which were the LAW OF THE ISRAELITES, were no longer law. And nowhere did Christ ever indicate that the Ten Commandmenst were meant to be the laws of earthy governments.
Christ said: "I did not come to Abolish the law, but to fullfill it"
Try again.

So are you saying the Ten Commandments were given to who? The Angles in heaven? that makes no sense.
Jesus came because human beings could not obey them so instead of the ultimate Punishment DEATH we have a chance of eternal life through Christ.
You need to do your best to obey the Ten Commandments but if you fail then ask for forgiveness.
Courts might not forgive you but G-D will
