Commandments. And it is critical. From Mark 12:
28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g] There is no commandment greater than these.”
The division is in how one honors god and neighbor versus rules for living your life in ways meant to set apart Israel and things that were rendered done upon the death and resurrection of Christ. Those works were no longer necessary given the atoning work of Christ on the cross.
