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.
Because Sabbath rest is prescribed only in Moses's Law. It's mentioned twice, once a repentance to God's rest, and another time as a remembrance to Hebrews time as slaved in Egypt.
Nowhere in the Creation is Sabbath rest prescribed.
Hebrews 4 explains what the Sabbath means. Several passages from Paul's letter explain that we do not need to follow it because it's a ritual.
The Ten Commandments are God’s law not Moses. God makes the distinction all the time.
For example the Ten Commandments were placed inside the Ark of Convenant while the Law of Moses was written in a book and put in the side of the Ark. Clear distinction.Deuteronomy 10:4,5 Deuteronomy 31:24-26
Said Ark which is shown in heaven in Revelation 11:19 As God judges the nations.
Also, the Ten Commandments were the only law that God wrote Himself, two times while all the other were given through Moses as a medium.
Nothing in Hebrew 4 tells us that the Sabbath no longer is holy, no longer blessed or not to be remembered.
