The 10 commandments come from the old testament. You don't have to adhere to those?

Short answer...NO!
Those Comandments were given to establish for me that I could not earn my way into heaven ( by living up to the standard of those commandments) without Gods' intervention. When Jesus died he paid for my shortcomings and now by the Grace of gods' intervention and sacrifice, I am now able to be returned to an eternal relationship with God.
Jesus gave us New Commandments I listed all three of them in my previous post in this thread.
If you study those you will probably agree that you live, more or less, by the same standards (except for probably the first one)
Also, Jesus claimed to be the same God that led the Jews and that he was, as an alert being, aware of things that happened, first hand, before the time when he was born. Interestingly in Genesis, (Old Test.) where it talks of creation, God talks of himself as a plural being. (and so it was, and we were glad with it)
