Wonderous things from your law

As it is written ….show me wondrous things from your law. That would be wonderful things…. it is delightful, sweeter than honey, more desirable than much fine gold, ,it is wisdom, it is understanding, they are life, they are righteous judgments more precious than gold or silver… this is how God describes his law. The word says in his light we see light.

If we do not see Gods law in his light than we do not see it. If you see anything wrong with the law, by what standard, what source of judgment would we use to make that call? We are talking about the commandments, not the rituals and sacrifices.
Clarification:

1) There are ten Commandments , from the ten, the OT has 600 some case laws that expand and show how to use them.

2)The thousands and thousands of additional lines are what the rulers added to what God had given them and yes throw them out. Truly, that was mans efforts to do, I am not sure what, but I think it was to make Gods law null and void. But they have nothing to do with anything being discussed about Gods Law. Because, they, are not his.

3) proposition: all ten of the commandments have direct or indirect bearing on loving our neighbors. God is Love. The last seven are all about loving our neighbor. To the point where if you see your enemies donkey, that has been lost, you are to trouble yourself, go out of your way, and take it back to him. The admonition about not hating your brother in your heart in Leviticus comes to mind. The first three commandments are the motivation and understanding to do the last seven.

4) the only reason Christians should concern themselves with Gods law has to do with obedience to the one who bought and paid for our salvation. If you love me keep my commandments.
And… 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1 John 5:2 (KJV)

I hope no one is trying to fulfill the law.
