For me it has to do with Free Will. "Thou Shalt Not" do this' is a rule. While it may not be advised that one steal and kill, one has the free will to do so.
Jesus's s two commandments were asked of us, not demanded. And those two commandments make the Ten Commandments (and all the hundreds of others) irrelevant. To love the Creator and to love others encompass the rightful cammandments in a way that respects love and the free will of others. The others are simply not needed. And they're the STS twist of positive, so why follow a false light when you know it be negative? When we have the Light of Christ, that of unconditional love acceptance compassion and forgiveness to light the way.
Anyway, this is my perspective. Growing up, mainstream religion rubbed me the wrong way. I felt it, not in words, to be a lesser way than what I was destined for. As I've grown up, I confirmed that and found a more open and expansive path to the One Creator that works for me. One that is not filled with rules that are blindly followed and never questioned.
