What law did Christ fulfill???? He fulfilled the law that required a 'blood' sacrifice for forgiveness. He became the final perfect blood sacrifice and no longer are we required to sacrifice a lamb to gain forgiveness. Repentance is what is required since the sacrifice of Christ.
If there is no law there is no sin, thus no need for repentance which is what Christ taught.... repentance.
Those Ten Commandments still stand this day. Further no where was the 'swine' cleansed as food to be eaten. Yes I know some claim Peter cleaned it but Peter never partook of the swine or the other unclean flesh, and the vision was about the gentiles no longer being call common they had the same right to Christ as the Israelites had.

"but Peter never partook of the swine or the other unclean flesh"
I wonder what Peter was eating here that Paul got in his
face about. Potato Chips?
Gal. 2:11 When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. 12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.

I would say ALL of them
Matt. 22:36 Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.£ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.£ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Christians do things and don't things because they love
Jesus NOT to keep the law.

Acts 10:9-16
On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. 10. But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; 11. and he *saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, 12. and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. 13. A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!" 14. But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean." 15. Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." 16. This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky. The rest of Acts 10 and part of Acts 11 continues with the account.
