No, but they have been consolidated into two...love God with all your heart, soul, mind; and strength; ans love your neighbor as you love yourself.
No laws replaced what is now written in our hearts.

Consolidated into two does not mean any of the 10 have been changed or done away with.
In fact it means the 2 commandments sum up the other 10.
Do you need those references?
The commands "thou shalt not bear false witness", "Thou shalt not make (or worship) graven images", taking God's name in vain, coveting....
These laws still stand.
They over-lap one another.
I agree.
No, thanks.
Jesus' two commandments encompass them all.
Not only has the law not been replaced, it's been clarified.
Obeying the letter of the law isn't adequate.
We're also to heed the spirit of the law.
No one can keep the spirit of the law by breaking the letter of the law.
If the law says "Thou shalt not kill" and we refuse to kill (actually the word means murder) we have kept both the letter AND the spirit of the law.
If we steal we have broken both the letter AND the spirit of the law.
The two are inseparable.
Maybe you don't understand the concept of "the spirit of the law"?
When you hate someone, in your heart you've killed them, i.e., you've broken the spirit of the law.
When you lust after a woman who's not your wife, you've committed adultery in your heart, i.e., you've broken the spirit of the law.
When you tell a lie of omission, even though you said nothing untrue, you've broken the spirit of the law.
Et cetera, et cetera.
The point is that we're all guilty of breaking all of the commandments, at least in spirit.
Which is why the Lord never instructed Christians to observe Saturday sabbath
The 10 commandments were given under the law of Moses.
9 of the 10 are repeated in the New Covenant under the Law of Christ.
So tell every one plainly, do you believe those who do not have church on Saturday will go to hell?
He's trying to live under the law of Moses.
The Galatians did that and fell from grace. Too bad, so sad.
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29-30
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
That's funny, Jesus never once instructed anybody to observe Saturday sabbath. Weird right?
Again Heb 4:1-11 has a direct command from Paul to keep the 7th day sabbath.
Which is why you refuse to open your bible and read it.
Jesus is talking about resting from the burden of sin. He makes no mention of the sabbath day here.
But it never says that in Heb 4:1-11
You are reading in to scripture something it does not say
You missed this:
Hebrews 4:8 - For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Since the sabbath under the old covenant did not give them rest, the Lord brought forth a New Covenant where Jesus is our rest:
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Hebrews 4:9-10
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into His rest (speaking of Jesus), he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Matthew 11:29-30
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
You are still reading in to scripture something it does not say.
OK, so let's go at it from another angle - show me chapter and verse from the New Testament that describes the penalty for those that do no observe Saturday sabbath that tells us not observing Saturday sabbath is a sin that sends people to hell.
Here's REST according to the New Covenant... is it's not speaking of keeping Saturday sabbath!
Hebrews 4:4-11
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:6 tells us "to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief" so those living under the Law of Moses did not enter in to God's REST... even though they were observing Saturday sabbath!
What the Lord's Word is speaking of in Hebrews 4:8 is what we have under the New Covenant which is resting in faith IN Christ... not just one day a week, but ALL days.
Therefore Saturday sabbath does not meet the higher standards Jesus Christ has brought forth for His people in the New Covenant due to it';s better promises.
Maybe some day... the sabbatarians can come on over in to the New Covenant and let Jesus be their High Priest rather than trying to go back and live under Moses.
Under the Law of Moses... Saturday sabbath was a thing.
Under the Law of Christ (New Covenant), it is NOT a thing because a different rest has replaced Saturday sabbath which made it obsolete since we are IN Christ now and ... HE is out rest... HE is our sabbath 24/7/365 (Mat 11:28, Hebrews 4:9-11)
Not after the law of a carnal commandment
Hebrews 7:14-16
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
The old covenant high priests followed carnal commandments that could not bring life (Gal 3:11), but in the New Covenant Jesus is our High Priest not after the law of carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life
The old covenant is of carnal commandment as they achieved their righteousness only thru doing physical works one of which is observing Saturday sabbath which was required to be in right standing with the Lord among other things.
Under the New Covenant our right standing is thru abiding IN Christ, resting IN Him, having ceased from our own works having turned from living in sin to being led by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
