I believe that Christ went on to expand on those statements, didn't he?  Didn't he outline who our neighbors are (enemies included!) and who we must forgive, and so on? 

I don't believe loving your neighbor means taking his stuff because you think someone else has less.  As for sleeping with her husband, that's the last thing I'd want to do.

And then there are the statements about how, when you give to your fellow man (your own stuff, of course, not what you stole from someone else) you have "done it unto me."

The Ten Commandments are pretty much open to interpretation as well, perhaps even more so than the philosophy that Christ espoused.
