Well aware of how the ten were written. Which one of the Ten Commandments are not covered by the Two Greatest Commandments?

And not a single English Bible version uses the word precept in Matthew 22:37-40. Commandments come from God. Precepts can come from the church, man, or God. I’ll just stick with the commandments.

Isaiah 28
13But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

The two "greatest' 'major", "foundational' -- what ever, are love God, love your neighbor, the Torah is built upon those two.

I have no idea which would not be covered and do no see why any would not be

As I said “not a single English Bible version uses the word precept in Matthew 22:37-40”.

Ok so why complicate it with ten when two are sufficient?

yes we are they are part of the ten and are the covenant, we cannot decide on our own to remove it, also there is a blessing with this commandment, we have to do the will of God before all else and not our own.

The two greatest commandments are above the ten commandments.

Jesus fulfilled the two greatest commandments in the law.

Jesus then invoked a new covenant based on His blood and we also were given the two new commandments.

Luke 22:20
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying,
“This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood."

The two shiny new commandments are version 2 of the former two greatest commandments.

1 John 3:23-24
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another,
just as He commanded us. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.
We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

As for the former ten commandments if you just treat others as you would have them treat you.
You have fulfilled the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:12
In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you,
for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Everything in the Law of Moses is either in regard to how to love God or how to love our neighbor, which is why Jesus said in Matthew 22:36-40 that those are the greatest two commandments and that all of the other commandments hang on them, so the position that we should obey the greatest two commandments is also the position that we should obey the commandments that hang on them, which is why love fulfills the law. For example, if we love God and our neighbor, then we won't commit idolatry, murder, adultery, theft, rape, kidnapping, favoritism, and so forth for the rest of the Law of Moses. If someone thought that they just needed to love God and their neighbor, so they didn't need to obey God's command against committing favoritism, then they would have an incomplete understanding of what it means to love God and our neighbor. The greatest two commandments are much easier said than done, so thankfully God gave us the rest of His commandments in order to flesh out what it looks like to correctly obey them. Someone who was correctly living in obedience to the greatest two commandments would be indistinguishable from someone who was correctly living in obedience to the rest of the Law of Moses because they would both be following the same example that Christ set for us to follow. Moreover, in Deuteronomy 6:4-7, the way to obey the greatest commandment in the Bible is essentially by being zealous for teaching obedience to the Law of Moses. We can't love God instead of obeying His instructions for how to do that.

What’s your position on Gods 10 Commandments

Jesus set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Law of Moses, which includes the Ten Commandments, and as his followers we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:6).

The Hebrew word “yada” refers to intimate relationships/knowledge gained by experience, such as with Genesis 4:1 where Adam knew (yada) Eve, she conceived, and gave birth to Cain. God’s way is the way to know (yada) Him and Jesus by experiencing being in His likeness through embodying His character traits, which is the narrow way to eternal life (John 17:3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew (yada) Abraham that he would teach his children and those of His household to walk in His way by being doers of righteousness and justice that the Lord might bring to him all that He has promised. In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to walk in His way that he and Israel might know (yada) Him, and in Matthew 7:23, Jesus said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew them, so the goal of the Law of Moses is to graciously teach us how to have an intimate relationship with God and Jesus by walking in His way, which is His gift of eternal life.

If people actually consider the 10 and then consider the 2 from Jesus, they should see that the 2 cover the 10. What's so hard about that?

And I am so disappointed in people who try to say that if we follow scripture and point out that Jesus fullfilled all of the law; we can't which any reasonable person without an agenda will acknowlege, then we must sin and allow sin. That comes from either an inability to comprehend or the desire to smear those with a different and biblical understanding.
