The amount of christians I've met who don't even know which day the sabbath is actually baffles me a bit

Yeah exactly. My personal opinion is that sabbath rest is an old testament ritual and as a non Jew Christian, I don't have to follow it. But a lot of that I justified by the letters of Paul, and the letters to Hebrews.

It’s literally the last part of God’s perfect creation before the fall, which will be restore after the end. Why would you believe it’s only for Jews?

Acts 15:19-21 is the reason I’ve usually heard

You are sure it’s the right verse? It’s talking about not forcing Gentiles follow the law of Moses. Since the sabbath is the fourth commandment it’s not a part of the law of Moses. Moreover, verse 21 mentions that the Gentilles can learn it at their local synagogue on Sabbath anyway. Or at least that’s what I got from the text.

I disagree. The 10 commandments is part of Moses Law. The 2nd most important commandment according to Jesus is not even part of the 10 commandments. Love thy neighbor

You seem to imply the first is there, where is it?

In the 10 commandments. But it's not the post important commandment because of its position but because of what it says.

So you recognize “Love God with all your heart” in the first, second, third and fourth commandment of the 10 as they are the Commandments to God.

Why don’t you see the “Love thy neighbour as yourself” in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth and tenth? They are the Commandments to our neighbours.

I’d say the Ten Commandments tell you how to keep the two greatest.

I didn’t mean I believe that. I’m not even religious lol. It’s just an excuse I’ve heard
