SDA’s are not a cult. Most believe in the Triune God and that Christ is fully man and fully God. We just happen to believe that the commandments, which were written on the heart of Adam, but had to be written on stone at Sinai, to which will eventually be written again on the heart of man at the Second Coming, were not invalidated at the Cross.

And hence lies your problem. They were invalidated at the Cross. You're adding to the Scriptures something that isn't there. The Commandments were never written on the heart of Adam. He and Eve were under the Dispensation of Innocence. The Laws weren't necessary. Sure they were written on stone in the Dispensation of Law, but they were not necessarily written on the heart of man during current Dispensation, Grace.

The Law is powerless to do what Christ did on the Cross. Grace is imparted to us because we believe on Christ. We don't need "the Law."

In Isaiah and Revelation, it is clear that we’ll be keeping the Sabbath again. It seems to me that if a commandment is valid before the fall, is validated during our fallen state and is also validated after we are fully redeemed,...,it was never suspended.

Yah'shua is quoted by Matthew:
Mat 7:23 "And then I will declare to them,
'I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME,
YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
Yah'shua is quoting Psalm 6:8.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach

.
Not much on the words of Christ, huh?

.
Mat 5:18
“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

.
Did you get that part about Heaven and Earth passing?
