I think you all need to back up a minute and ask yourselves “What is God/Yahweh doing here anyway?”
My simple answer (I’m not a theologian just a simple believer) is “raising children.” He created us to be His companions. He is trying to show us how we should live so we will be fit for citizenship the Kingdom.
In the meantime use the 10 Commandments as they were meant – as the ways to a happy, healthy, whole life filled with blessings – one that will prepare you for the life with Him that He has promised - all the while knowing that there s nothing you can do to earn that privilege.
His Son was sent to be the final and complete sacrifice for our wrong-doing, our walking away from God and “doing it my way” … we cannot help but fail if we try to make it back on our own. It is only through belief in His Son and His grace that we do.
