>Breaking the Sabbath is against the Law of Moses but it is not sin unless its sin in your heart. Thats the point, Jesus showed that for a righteous man the Ten Commandments do not apply, only for the unrighteous.<

This sounds like the argument being made by a lost world.If we don't consider it a sin it is not a sin.Jesus told us the ten commandments do apply but through God's grace we can avoid the eternal punishment.This entire debate is built on a fallacy.It all rests on the assumption Jesus broke the commandment to keep the Sabbath Holy.He was accused of this but none could make the case.

Luk 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

Luk 13:17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Luk 14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

Luk 14:4 And they held their peace. And he took [him], and healed him, and let him go;

1 Timothy 1:9 "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 man slayers....."

and it goes on with a whole list of people who the law was made for. If you read earlier in chapter one, Paul tells Timothy to avoid genealogies and fables because they raise questions " rather than Godly edifying which is in faith". He also goes on to tell Timothy in verse 6 "From which some having swerved(swerved from love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned)"have turned aside to vain jangling. Desiring to be teachers of the law; they understand neither what they say or nor whereof they affirm. But we know the law is good if a man use it lawfully;

Then it goes into verse 9 explaining who the law is for.
