In Nehemiah 1:7, Nehemiah's prayer mentioned the Israel not keeping the commandments, laws, and ordinances.

How do we breakdown the three during Nehemiah's time and at present time? Was Judea still considered a theocracy then? Today, when we talk about breaking the law, we only include the moral law (except for the Theonomists among us).

When Jesus commanded us to love God foremost, and our neighbor second, He was extrapolating upon the Ten Commandments, not giving us a new commandment although He said this is a new commandment? He was just giving us a fuller understanding? Isn't that correct. If it is a new commandment and there may be others, why hasn't anyone compiled a list of all the commandments?
