The law of Moses consists of more than 600 individual laws, or commandments, including the 10 main ones.
(How many is he keeping?)

The Law was not given to all humankind.

God made a covenant, or an agreement, with the descendants of Jacob, who became the nation of Israel.

God gave his laws to this nation only.

The Bible makes this clear at Psalm 147:19, 20.

Then why the Law?

What purpose was it that God gave his law to Israel?

Paul answered: “To make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made . . . Consequently the Law has become our tutor [or, teacher] leading to Christ.” (Galatians 3:19-24)

The special purpose of the Law was to protect and guide the nation of Israel so that they might be ready to accept Christ when he arrived.

So when Christ came and gave his perfect life as a sacrifice, what happened to the Law?

It was removed. “We are no longer under a tutor,” Paul explained. (Galatians 3:25)

The removal of the Law was a relief to the Israelites. It had shown them up as sinners, for all of them fell short of keeping that Law perfectly.

“Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law,” Paul said. (Galatians 3:10-14)

The Bible also says: “Christ is the end of the Law.”—Romans 10:4; 6:14.

U folks are funny how you manage to talk yourselves out of the 10 commandments “law” as if it’s the “law” you got a problem with. We all know it’s the Sabbath that’s the problem.

Anyways, what do you think of this guy? Isn’t that something? Sounds like you wouldn’t risk a job over the Sabbath. He was willing to. I bet God likes that. He’s no flake.

You are correct, the law was only given to the children of Israel. God says over and over that the sabbath is a sign between Him and the Children of Israel.
People who aren’t justified by faith must do something to justify themselves. It always begins with sabbath, but more and more things will be added, such as dietary laws.
Interesting to note, they claim the sabbath, but don’t keep it themselves. Keeping the sabbath at a minimum requires:

1. Do no work
2. Do not kindle a fire
3. Stay at home
4. Do not cook

I’ve never seen a “sabbath keeper” keep all of these, they only blast others for not keeping the sabbath.
But, judaizers are gonna judaize...

Galatians 3:15–16 esv

15 To give a human example, brothers, even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.
16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.
