8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. - Romans 13:8-10 (KJB)

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. - Galatians 5:13-14 (KJB)
It doesn't say anywhere that the law hinges on the two greatest commandments. It says that the law hangs on the two. Hanging objects can be removed, while that which supports them remains. Stated another way, the law derives its meaning from the two greatest commandments, not the other way around; and the two can stand independent of the law.

When we love God and man we do what God says. God sanctified the Sabbath and made it holy. We honor God we don't honor the Sabbath. We are honoring God in keeping the commandments even the 4th commandment that says remember, the one that a lot of people choose to forget about. People keep taking away a jot and tittle, when Jesus said till heaven and earth pass they will still remain.
i sure wouldn't want to be standing in the shoes of those that are telling God about His way of life. Maybe if they would go to the Father and ask Him, then take the cotton out of their ears and stick it in their mouth long enough to list to Father to tell them what He wants instead of telling the Father what He wants.

some translations say hinge. it makes little difference because the meaning is the same. if your life was hanging by a thread, the last thing you would want to do is cut the thread.
theese 2 are the greatest. IMO you will never understand them or learn them by thinking everything else is meaningless.

Hinge works as long as it is understood that one side is fixed, and the other side is not, but depends on the foundation it is attached to. In this case the two greatest commandments are fixed, and the rest of the law is grounded to them. The two greatest commandments don't need the law to accomplish their realization (fulfillment). In fact, the law wasn't able to do so. Only the spirit through faith can accomplish that.
