So then why would humans need pages and pages of commands and laws in the Old Testament? Why do we need the Ten Commandments?
Insight into God's beauty. To better know Him.
And why would we need God to tell us now? You have to make up your mind: either we humans DON"T know right and wrong, and just have to rely blindly on divine command, in which case anything, including slashing your own son's throat or blowing up a café full of innocent people are all possibilities, or we do, in which case I am not sure what role divine command would have in any of this.
This is basic stuff that you need to know before a meaningful discussion can be had. Free will, the discerning of right and wrong began with Adam and everyone since then has it. If you don't have that concept, you have no basis for discussion.
