You are catching on to me with the big/small rules. I suspect that a rule such as Jews using separate dishes and so forth is a smaller rule.
As for the big rules - I would say you could lump together the 10 Commandments, Jesus' 3 rules (I thought it was 2), and another set that used to be called natural law. I believe God wrote two books, the Bible, and the book of nature.
Not really a test, but a way of changing the perspective in order to grapple with the original question. I honestly don't know how the conversation will turn out - I just know how I would answer these questions.
So. . . can you get to Heaven without loving God?
Can you love God without following His (big) rules?
