I see it a little differently. God was in relationship with man before sin. So sin, in my opinion, wasn't allowed for relationship reasons. But for the Christian, I do believe there are ddefinite benefits; the chiefest being made partakers of the divine nature.
From God's perspective, it aids His goal of filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

I suggest that you not make any effort to obey the 10 Commandments.
I think that would be best for you personally.
Does that lighten your load a bit?

I have no need of any load being lightened because Jesus tells me to come to Him
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew11: 28-30
answer the question or just stop telling everyone they need to 'try' and follow the 10 commandments and that is what Jesus taught

It's a completely irrelevant question.
you are inventing your own religion and gospel NOT according to scripture
answer the question. when you do, you will finally come to the truth that we are only saved by the grace of God through the blood of Christ and the only way to the Father is through the Son

Modern perspectives would lead many to believe that the 10 Commandments were written in stone due to some primitive caveman evolutionary gobbledy-gook. "Well it's because that's all they had back then!", they surmise.
The fact is that everything God has ever done has had deep symbolic meaning beneath the obvious surface purposes.
The 10 Commandments written in stone could not have been a more obvious declaration from God Almighty that they were intended to stand forever and never, ever be changed. Just as God is unchanging, so are His Laws and the 10 Commandments are also a moral structure of just who God is. It's no coincidence that Jesus Christ is referred to as the rock; the solid, unchanging, immovable foundation of Truth and all things holy and just.
The 10 Commandments were given to all mankind and Christ reiterated their importance by teaching them all, obeying them all and made certain that His followers understood to continue to keep them after His Crucifixion - which is exactly what they did. It would only make sense that He would do so as He was the Creator of them.
Why then do we have so many naysayers today who make such ridiculous claims as 'You will be damned to hell if you obey the Commandments!' and 'Obedience to the Commandments is "works salvation"!'? The Bible told us very clearly that we would have grievous wolves come into the churches and lead many astray. We have been told that the blind leaders of the blind lead many into the ditch. We have also been told by Jesus Himself that the road to salvation is a narrow one and many, many would be led down the wide road to destruction.
The 10 Commandments are now, and always will be, applicable to all professed Christians and they are quite literally the very foundation of the Christian Faith.

the gobbledegook is what you are saying here.. you are not making light of serious and life altering issues.
do you not know that the blood of Jesus is in heaven because He was the final sacrifice? Christians should know this and understand that is what God acknowledges and no human works. It is further proof that Christ took upon Himself the sins of the world so that whosoever will may come...to the Father through Him.
23 Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appearedonce for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9

I dislike the fact you cannot, apparently and you are not alone, display any knowledge of the fact that Jesus fulfilled all of the law with no help from you whatsoever
you did not create your own salvation, but for some reason that escapes me, (well I probably could say) you prefer to now work it out for yourself.
