The sabbath was given to nation of Israel, the sabbath cults claim this was a creation ordinance which is highly debatable.
What is not debatable is the position of a Christian - dead the the Law:
(Gal 2:19 KJV) For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
(Rom 7:4 KJV) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
And just in case there is any confusion about which law a Christian is dead to Paul tells us exactly which Law he's speaking of:
(Rom 7:7 KJV)............for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
So clearly the law of Moses is in view when Paul states we are dead to it.
The sabbath cults claim "you Christians keep nine but omit the fourth" - that may be so but keeping the "nine" in itself is also a denial that a Christian is DEAD to the law.
Not one of these sabbath cults can explain how a Christan can be dead to the law and alive to it at the same time by attempting to keep it.
Neither can they explain how they can be married to Christ and Moses at the same time - ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another. This is either bigamy or adultery - take your pick.
(1 Tim 1:7 KJV) Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
(1 Tim 1:8 KJV) But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
(1 Tim 1:9 KJV) Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
The sabbath promoters are proclaiming themselves to be "lawless and disobedient".
The sabbath promoters are proclaiming that the "ministration of death" has now become the "ministration of life" in Christ.
(2 Cor 3:7 KJV) But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
(2 Cor 3:8 KJV) How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
(2 Cor 3:9 KJV) For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
(Gal 6:2 KJV) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
