Maybe or maybe not. So tell me, which of the Commandents shouldn’t you follow?

No maybe about it; the question of the Law's purpose is relevant. — Or to put it another way, can the law give life? Can it make righteous? Can it erase sin?

(Gal 3:19-22)
Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring would come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained through angels by a mediator. Now a mediator involves more than one party; but God is one.

Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could make alive, then righteousness would indeed come through the law. But the scripture has imprisoned all things under the power of sin, so that what was promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
