Hi, Peg.
Interesting topic.

The mosaic law was fortold to be removed and a new covenant, a new avenue of approach to God, was to be put in place.
I'm curious. In your opinion, what does this mean for the 10 Commandments?
Do they still stand as a code of conduct for Christians to follow? Or, are they outdated now?

It was a way of life that the followers of christ lived. To imitate Jesus was to obey this law. Their intense love of him meant that this law was indeed written on their hearts, as prophesied and because love motivated them, they were not oppressed by the law...
I have never understood why the authority to dictate Christian laws, as you see them, continues after Christ's death (as in Paul's letters), but ends before the Middle Ages?
It always seemed like an arbitrary cutoff point to me.
