David, I consider God's Laws and God's Commandments as the same thing: to me they are the moral laws handed down through Moses. (Not the ceremonial or civil laws. Not the traditions of men.) And I consider them to still be required by God of His followers. Am I wrong here?

One place in Scripture where we see that the law refers to commandments that came through Moses and that covenant is the following: Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. While it is true that sometimes "the law" might include the writings of the prophets, more strictly it is referring to the 613 commandments given through Moses. So I think we ought to agree that "law" and "commandments" are not necessarily the same thing. Consider also the understanding that both Jews and Gentiles were given 7 commandments prior to Moses, but these are not considered the law (see Romans 2:14 compare with commandments of Gen. 9).
