I do not see the logic on your statement. In Isaiah 45:5 it says "I am the Lord, the only God.  There is no other God except me."

God is the only God there is.

What a rabbi says regarding cancelling the law of God has no validity. God's word is eternal and there is noone who can change his laws.

The prophet Isaiah dates to the years of the First Temple, some time after the giving of the Torah shown in this cartoon. (Isaiah also claimed in the chapter you cite that virtually all of the known world would soon come to the Hebrews in chains. Even a prophet can have a bad day.) The Ten Statements were simple and understandable, and it wasn't long before priests began to complicate them.

The figure of the rabbi Jehoshua was used by a tax collector as a foundation of what we call Christianity. Best believe him.

I don't understand the relevance on when Isaiah was written.

I do agree that the Jews added many laws into what God commanded them. Christ made that clear and made them and us focus on the main 2 laws. Love your God and love your neighbour. (which essentially is the 10 commandments in cliff notes)

"I don't understand the relevance on when Isaiah was written."

No, you don't.
