While under the Law, the Israelites were required to set aside one day every week for rest and worship. Christians, on the other hand, are required to worship God, not just one day per week, but every day.
Is it wrong, then, to set aside one day every week for rest and worship? No. God’s Word leaves such a decision to each individual, saying: “One person decides that one day is holier than another. Another person decides that all days are the same. Every person must make his own decision.” (Romans 14:5, God’s Word) While some may choose to view one day as more holy than others, the Bible clearly indicates that God does not expect Christians to observe a weekly Sabbath.

There is a wealth of meaning in the Ten Commandments! Based as they are on divine principles that will never be out-of-date, we should prize them as precious reminders of our obligation to love God and our neighbor.—Matthew 22:37-39.
Jesus’ death brought an end to the Law, including the Ten Commandments given to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. But the value of the divine principles included in the Mosaic Law are eternal.
Did not Israel worship God everday also ?

If you don't keep the Sabbath or if you kill or steal, you are under the law
If you speed you are under the law, under arrest

if you keep the law by Gods grace you are not under the law

You should read Romans,
you read amiss


This is how the letter ends!

Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest,
and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandments of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:


and by the way

those who teach the people they do not have to keep the law?
(Just warning you)

Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:


Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that break the ten commandments.

That's funny. If you keep the law you're not under the law. The reasonings get stranger every day.

If someone speeds and gets caught, they get a ticket because they are under traffic laws. If someone doesn't speed, they don't get a ticket, but they are still under the same traffic laws as anyone else who drives because traffic laws have authority over all drivers. The law of Moses only had authority over the circumcision, and only over those who were alive. It has never had the power to exert authority over dead people. We are dead to the world and the law of Moses through baptism into Christ. Therefore, the law of Moses has no authority to levy any charge against any who walk by the spirit.

If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:18​

Well I guess you're another person who can't conceive of GOD's law beyond the letters of the 10 commandments. Those under the new covenant are neither under the law of Moses, nor are they without law.
I believe i conceive God word pretty well, however it's in full dependence of His guidance.
I think you're having a hard time conceiving that the commandments weren't Moses's law.

I'm quite aware that the law of Moses was given by GOD... to the circumcision.

the law of Moses,,read the chapters leading up to this verse and note the letter(acts 15;23-30) that is delivered by the apostles,elders and sent with Barnabas and Paul in the addition of the two prophets Silas and Judas. that is they are confronted with what we refer to as the "old law",,,then in acts (15;28-29),,,,,,,this is the only stipulation given to Paul,Barnabas,Silas and Judas(by the Holy Spirit,verse 28) to set forth and teach to the Gentiles,,,,,,,,

One would think that would be enough to settle the issue.

Joh 7:22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

Joh 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

And NOTE that the covenant of circumcision was way before Moses. It was given to Abraham, who circumcised Isaac on the 8th day and to Jacob and the twelve tribes. Remember, that Israel (about 70 people) left Canaan and went to stay in Egypt during the famine. Joseph was second in command and because God placed him ahead of time, the Israelites were able to multiply greatly. Four hundred and thirty years the Israelites were in Egypt. Moses was at the end of the slavery in Egypt period. So circumcision was not of Moses.

Act 7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

And because we are to have circumcised hearts, then the law of Moses was given by GOD to all those who are circumcised (of the heart.)

AND THESE SCRIPTURES FROM THE TORAH:

Deu 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

Deu 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

AND THESE SCRIPTURES FROM THE PROPHETS:

Jer 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Jer 9:26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

Eze 44:7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

Eze 44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

Question: How do you know you are circumcised in the heart? And if you be circumcised in the heart, are God's laws meant for you?

this is why you can not understand, and remain in your trajectory to antichrist land:

Galatians 5
And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace

Can the word of God convert someone ?
only by the Spirit of God and is why they had to wait even when they knew the truth, right prior to Pentecost.
I mean the risen Christ hung around fro forty days after he rose explaining all to them, and yet they had to wait
That tells me I know nothing of myself and need god in the lead, he did say to follow not lead right?
