Protestantism

Protestantism, under which there are several denominations of Christianity, in general gives more importance to biblical law and the gospel, rejecting the moral theology of Roman Catholicism. Early Protestant theologians continued to take the Ten Commandments as the starting point of Christian moral life. Different versions of Christianity have varied in how they have translated the bare principles into the specifics that make up a full Christian ethic.

With the emergence of various modern versions of Protestanism there are several modern churches that believe and teach their adherents that all of the Law of Moses was fulfilled by Jesus Christ by His Crucifixion, death and resurrection and the Law of Moses including the Ten Commandments no longer apply to them while others believe in following only the commandments that appear in the New testament and hence do not follow or observe them as part of their faith and worship.
