Might want to read Jer 31 again. It actually makes the opposite point:I was gonna use Jeremiah 31:31-33, but it's not the Torah, so like, it doesn't matter...
We still haven't heard from Simplelogic on if God can add to His work, or not. Such a simple question, so slippery a slope....
31Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; 32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law (lit Torah) in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people; 34and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: ‘Know the LORD’; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. Jer 31: 31-34
So what is the difference in Jeremiah's "new covenant"? God says He will write it on our hearts. Originally God commanded us to write it on our own hearts and we failed to do so. Notice how the whole point to this "new covenant" is that the Torah (law of Moses) is going to be written on our hearts!! Does this mean new laws are being created??? NO!
Also. Notice verse 34. God says we will no long teach each other saying "know God", because we will know Him. This is still a future prophecy which hasn't happened yet.
