If your interpretation of being dead to the Law of God (10 commandments) means to no longer have anything to do with it, how will you know if you SIN or not? Sin will send you to Jesus or keep you out of God's Kingdom if it does not. Either way you cannot know what SIN is without God's LAW and if you have SIN in your LIFE you do not KNOW him who LOVES and it calling you.
to him who knows to do good, and does not do so, to him it is sin. James did not say to him who does not keep the Sabbath, it is sin.

actually, anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is God's people. that is the mark of a believer. Sabbath keeping does not make one saved.
That is not true. Only the BELIEVERS and FOLLOWERS are the true BELIEVERS because those that do not FOLLOW do not BELIEVE the WORD of God. If you are not a FOLLOWER you are NOT a BELIEVER. (Matthew 10:38; James 2:18-20; 26; 2:8-12).

Breaking God's Sabbath would be to deny HIM who loves me. I am now free to love him because he first loved me. I follow Him because I love him. Do you love Jesus trofimus?

You are breaking God's Sabbath by your view that you must keep literal weekly Sabbath.

You are breaking God's new covenant by your view that you must keep the old one.

Yes.

Not at all I am now free to LOVE because he first loved me. Without Him I can do nothing and I am nothing. With him I can do all things and because he bids me come I walk on water. Do you know what the Old Covenant is and what makes up the Old Covenant and how it relates to the NEW Covenant? Also what does the NEW Covenant mean to you and what is the differences between the OLD and NEW Covenant? Something to think about my friend? I will look forward to hearing from you.

Acts 16- the Philippian Jailer to Paul and Silas - " sirs , what I must I do to be saved? " . Paul- believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be4 saved.

so, you just called Paul a lair. but, that's o.k. , because Hebrew roots/ sda think that Paul is not credible. spiting on the Lord Jesus, in favor of Sabbath. shameful.

Jewish literal sabbath was a shadow of what came in Christ. A rest from our deeds came in Christ.

If you still continue in keeping Jewish literal sabbath, you are saying that the rest in Christ, the real Sabbath, has not come yet.

Similarly with covenants. The Old one was till Christ. If you continue in it, you are demonstrating that Christ has not come.

Therefore you are making a big mistake.

Good friend as was shared earlier if you do not BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's Word you are not really a BELIEVER are you? Did you know the devils BELIEVE and tremble? They do so because they do not FOLLOW. If your BELIEF does not allow you to FOLLOW you should tremble as well.

there is no such thing as "Jewish Sabbath"

Isaiah 56:1-7, “Thus said יהוה, “Guard right-ruling, and do righteousness, for near is My deliverance to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who becomes strong in it, guarding the Sabbath lest he profane it, and guarding his hand from doing any evil. And let not the son of the gentile who has joined himself to יהוה speak, saying, ‘יהוה has certainly separated me from His people,’ nor let the eunuch say, ‘Look I am a dry tree.’ For thus said יהוה, “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and are holding onto My covenant: to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off. Also the sons of the gentile who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and are holding onto My covenant, them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their ascending offerings and their sacrifices are accepted on My altar, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”

i'll take Paul's word over yours. he knew the Law far better than you, and he did not add Sabbath to a direct question, he said " believe in Jesus. you disagree with him, I do not.

and, just to be clear. you ain't my friend . you deny salvation through Christ.

well, since Sabbath was given at Sinai, and only the jews were there, and gentile converts had to be circumcised , and those two , along with dietary laws were given to keep Israel separate from the nations of cannan , and Sabbath was not commanded anywhere DIRECTLY in the N.T., calling the Sabbath jewish is fine.

There is. Its a Sabbath given to Jews as a reminder of what was to come.
Seems the words directrly from the mouth of the Most High say different:

And in this place again: If they will enter into My rest.
