Hm. So good Christians only follows the Old Testament. And only a small part of it at that. From the King James version.

That is an interesting claim.

That list of yours almost looks Jewish or Muslim

First Commandment ( Exodus 20:2)I am the Lord Your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Second Commandment ( Exodus 20:3-6)You shall have no other gods beside Me. You shall not make for yourself any graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them, for I, the Lord Your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

Third Commandment ( Exodus 20:7)You shall not take the name of the Lord Your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain.

Fourth Commandment ( Exodus 20:8-11)Remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto the Lord Your God, in it you shall not do any manner of work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

Fifth Commandment ( Exodus 20:12)Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord God gives you.

Sixth Commandment ( Exodus 20:13)You shall not murder.

Seventh Commandment ( Exodus 20:13)You shall not commit adultery.

Eighth Commandment ( Exodus 20:13)You shall not steal.

Ninth Commandment ( Exodus 20:13)You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Tenth Commandment ( Exodus 20:14)You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, nor his wife, his man-servant, his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.

There are a few more moral issues that the bible didn't really anticipate, like civil rights.

And those rules don't address bigotry., or tolerance for other religions.

And how do you feel about gay marriage and gender equality.

Those rules were written in a simpler and much more barbaric time.

We are a bit more sophisticated today.
