“The new covenant is the old covenant internalized.” It’s God’s laws NOW written in our minds and our hearts.”
So you’re saying all the Old Covenant is binding upon Christians, not just the ten commandments.
By the way, this means that not just the ten commandments are to be internalized, but all the Old Covenant: food laws, stoning sabbath breakers, Levitical priesthood, all of it. Send me a picture of your stoning a sabbath-breaker and I’ll know you believe this argument enough to obey it.
I'm not saying that. It's a strawman you created..which I see you're about to demolish...

Actually my friend the book of Hebrews spells out pretty clearly what has changed between the old covenant and the new covenant. That's why it was written. What's changed are the "ordinances of services"...i.e. the Levitical priesthood and any functions related to the Levitical priesthood. Hebrews also spells out that the sacrifice of Christ obviated the need for animal sacrifices. There's another category of laws and ordinances that appear in the old testament and those are the civil and criminal laws and punishments that are only valid and applied to the ancient nation of Israel.
However the ten commandments don't fall into any of those categories. They are God's laws. They don't need and don't specify that any type of Levitical priesthood is needed to observe them.
It's actually the same with the food laws AND the other holy days of the Lord Jesus Christ that are listed in the bible in Leviticus 23. These days do not need a Levitical priesthood to observe them. The sacrifices in the them have been obviated by the sacrifice of Christ but the days are still there. And there is no where in the new testament where Christ makes them disappear.
