The Sabbath is binding on Jewish people, not Gentiles.
It’s basic contract law. The Covenant of Mt. Sinai is between God and the Jewish people. Gentiles are not a party to that contract.
The law that applies to Gentile people are the Laws of Noah.
The Laws of Noah are structured differently, but when you get into the nitty gritty, are effectively the 10 commandments (and from thence all the other sub-parts), less the Sabbath.

I have to disagree based on the fact that the sabbath day was made a holy day in Genesis at creation. Not only does it predate the Jews, it predates every human being ever born except Adam. And Adam means man and Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man.
The Sabbath is a memorial to creation, God’s perfect creation. THe first full day Adam and Eve spent together was a Sabbath day, the seventh day that God hallowed.
I don’t think God waited a few thousand years to release the blessed Sabbath day to a race of people. I don’t think he hid it from all mankind who existed before our Jewish friends. And we read in Isaiah ALL MANKIND will keep the Sabbath in the new earth. Isaiah 66.
I respect your opinion but I don’t agree with it based on scripture. thank u.
That's not Biblical. Read Mark 2:27 “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”. It does not say the Sabbath was made for Jews but for mankind.

The STRANGERS within their gates were GENTILES. They shared the same punishment as the Israelites for breaking God’s law.
All will be judged by God’s law, including those who insist that God’s law was contractually only for the Jews.
Romans 2:
9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Leviticus 24:22, “Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.”
God’s law applies to ALL mankind.
