Of course not. They are reiterated in the New Testament. The only one of the Ten Commandments not in the New Testament is the sabbath requirement. Instead we have Colossians 2:16 which tells us not to allow others to pass judgment on us regarding a sabbath day. Christ is the true sabbath. He gives us rest. All that said, I’m a faithful church goer, only not out of obligation or law, but because I want to worship and enjoy the assembly of the saints.

I hate to tell you this but Colossians is NOT about the weekly Sabbath. The next verse tells you it is about the law "Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is Christ". The Ten Commandments are not a "shadow". The Mosaic ordinances which foreshadowed Christs coming was. Those were nailed to the Cross. The Ten Commandments were permanent. Wrote in stone, as it were.

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

A follower of Jesus would follow His example. That seems plain.

Hebrews 4:9, 10 9So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

This is referring to the Sabbath rest instituted in Genesis 2:2 after Creation.
