On the Streets of Babylon: Tossing out the 10 Commandments

 Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,

Revelation 14:8/18:4


There seem to be some seeking excuses to toss out their God's "10 Commandments" on the Streets of Babylon...

"A popular megachurch pastor says the Ten Commandments no longer apply and that Christians instead should focus on – and perhaps even post – Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

Andy Stanley, author of the new book Irresistible and pastor of North Point Community Church in Georgia, asserts in a new column for Relevant that Jesus’ commandment in John 13:34 (“love one another”) replaced the Ten Commandments and old covenant.
Jesus didn’t issue his new command as an additional commandment to the existing list of commands,” Stanley wrote. 
The early church moved past the old covenant – why haven’t we?” Stanley asked."
