You are correct it's not just the two great commandments, or the ten, it's the total. God gives us many precepts to live by but mixed up religion today will tell you the old hebrew scriptures [tanakh] are not valid and God's law was a curse and has been abolished and we no longer have to abide to it, that is a lie from satan. They have no percipience of God's word because they have been deceived by man fabricated doctrine infused by satan. We are freed from sin and death not the law. We are no longer under the condemnation of the law if Christ's Spirit indeed dwells in you. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness not the end of the law period. The curse is living in the flesh without the set-apart Spirit which means you are in bondage to sin and walk after the desires of, which in turn makes you transgress the law and puts you under the condemnation of it. When you become a new creation in Christ you are no longer in bondage to sin but become a servant of righteousness and are no longer under the condemnation of the law, but you still have to obey the righteousness of the law which is fulfilled in us and before ordained that we should walk in if Christ's Spirit indeed dwells in you. God bless you.Thanks!
This came to mind this morning
Deuteronomy 25 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
I don't think we ought to do the actual marrying today, because I think it says in Corinthians something about each man having his own wife.
But the general idea, that of taking care of the vulnerable in society, would definitely be something we would follow. In those times, of course, a widow didn't have very many options for financial support.
It would go along well with not oppressing the immigrant, I think that's another law.
