You're missing a point there, friend. Well, two points. When it comes to commandments, which is to say, The Law, only a completely perfect record is enough to get you into heaven. Only perfection counted, which no human is able to do. You can't say, "I followed the first law so let me in." If you ever broke the second law. ONLY through a perfect blood sacrifice is it possible to supercede the law and atone for breaking even one tiny commandment.
Secondly, Jesus said to love THE Lord, not A lord. In the Greek that means a specific one, not the idea of one. Jesus is saying that you must love (literally) THE God, not any god, not a false god, but JHVH, the one and only God. The Greek is pretty specific on that one. The first commandment is to love specifically the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
