The 4th commandment has not been abrogated; none of the ten commandments have been abrogated.
The 4th commandment is a Creation ordinance, instituted by God not only before the Israelites, but before the fall of Adam into sin. Since at that point there was no sin in the world, thus no need of a Savior, the Sabbath ordinance can not be ceremonial.

very interesting, so Adam, Noah and Abraham all rested on the 7th day in observance of the Sabbath?
if you answer yes, could you please provide chapter and verse to support your answer.
the pagan Gentiles who were being preached to by the Apostles and converted to faith in Christ had no idea what the Sabbath was and how to observe resting on it.
Can you show anywhere in the NT after Pentecost that the Apostles taught that the 7th day Sabbath was to be observed or how to observe it? Anywhere?

Those commandments were written by His Finger from stone from His Throne..
His Throne is eternal.. so are His Commandments..
Problem is, people use pope Gregory’s calendar to either get their pope appointed Saturday, or their pope approved Sunday and call them sabbath.
Both are wrong.. and if one sees that, they see how the enemy works to steal worship from Him who created heaven, the earth the seas and all that is in them..
The world’s calendar is a counterfeit., and Jews, Muslims, Christians, secular humanists, atheists, etc, are mostly using it to set their work and worship lives..
But the calendar He gives in His sky and in His Word is not set up for this world... it would require a conscious choice to follow it...
