Now if you can just agree with the Word which became Flesh as to what HE said was "transitory". As I read it the Priesthood with it's sacrificial "Works of the Law" for remission of sins through the High Priest is what changed. Not God's instruction to, and how to Love Him and each other. At least that is what the Bible teaches.

Simplified version. There are 2 kinds of Sabbaths, weekly and annual Sabbaths. Jesus was crucified during Passover week that has a Sabbath at the begining and the end. The tomb was empty on Sunday morning. That means the latest Jesus arose was the weekly Sabbath late afternoon. That would make his Crucifixion the latest on Wednesday with the last Passover Sabbath on Thursday.
You have hit the nail on the head. Judaism is a series of "Do not's," "Do not do this" and "Do not do that." You might not kill your neighbour, but that is not to say you don't hate them in your heart.
Jesus made it harder and said to LOVE your enemy. The spirit of Christianity does more than embrace legalistic Judaism, it kills it like Chemotherapy kills cancer and this is why Judaism and the Jewish law is dead in the sight of God. Remember it was GOD who changed it, so don't argue with the LORD, instead submit yourself to Him and follow Him every step of the way, in word, thought and deed.

Jesus said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do," and with Jesus in our heart (he in knocking on our heart's door) we can overcome our natural instincts and learn to love others. He told us this in Revelation 3:20...
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
With Jesus in our hearts, we too can be overcommers, for He is love.

i think the Word which became Flesh,
speaking through hs ambassador Paul,
is saying
what was transitory,*
that which is done away,
clearly refers to a few sentences earlier
if the ministration of death,
written and engraven in stones,
was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away
It is clear from the text that he's writing about the old covenant, and the supplanting of it with a new. And nowhere in scripture is any covenant spoken of as being made up of distinguishable compartments such that one part can be broken and the others remain. That is a purely human, modern tradition imagined by those who wish to go back to a ministry of death and to pharisetically judge others by a covenant they are not partakers of.
See the last 463 pages? All their arguments hinge on supposing they are able to break one part of the Law and not be guilty of all of it. *poof* it's vapid. Baseless.

Obviously one cannot say anything against the pre-existing "Word made flesh" neither would we want to. Anyone who does, identifies themselves as anti-Christ. The error arises in the teaching of the Pharisees and the cults in the Old Testament surrounding the many idols and false gods, their priests, telling the people "The LORD says...." the LORD being their false god.
As it is difficult to discern between the teaching of "the Word made flesh" and the false priests, then in the light of God's New Covenant, there is no further need for the Old Testament, except for the books of the prophets, the Psalms, and as a historical record of the Jewish Nation. Spiritually speaking we need look no further than the New Testament for our instruction in righteousness, redemption and our walk with God.

This text speaks of the Ministration not that to which was engraved, but how it was ministered. No longer of the letter but of the Spirit.
Declared to be the epistle of Christ.... written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.
That which was written in stone was to be and is written on our hearts. So Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ (HIS Word; the Law) again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word (Christ; HIS LAW) is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart (that we do it): that is, the word of faith, which we preach. Christ in us the hope of glory. A new and living Way; the Veil; that is to say His flesh; the Body of Christ; the Temple of GOD. For it is HE that works in us both to will and do HIS good pleasure. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the (engrafted) word (that which is in our hearts and minds), and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
(Heb 8:10; 2Co 3:3-5; Rom 10:6-8; Jas 1:21-22)

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?

ministration
is that which is written in stone
they are not two separate things
***************
it sounds to me that in your view the same exact thing which was written in stone is also written on our heart
then I ask
that which is written on your heart
in what language is it written?
