I don't need to re-read Galatians, you need to read the Bible without Catholic colored glasses. The Ten Commandments is required by ALL Christians. Jesus replaced the Old Covenant (was more works based) with the New Covenant (which is more Holy Spirit driven) to help believers fulfill the Law as He did.

Without the Law, there is no sin. God cannot allow sin to flourish in Heaven. The Law will be there as it was written on Mt. Sinai. Same Law. From Creation until eternity the Law will exist.

The ceremonial laws were wrote by Moses. They expired on the cross.

You really, really didn't understand Galatians. Very little in the Bible even singles out the Ten Commandments as "special", much less "applicable to all Christians".

Their applicability to all Christians was established by the Church as a teaching point because they codify natural (moral) law, which is applicable to all human beings, and was applicable even before the Ten Commandments were given to Moses.

However, you can't get a Saturday Sabbath from natural law -- you need revelation for that -- so it is not part of the moral law, but part of the ceremonial law. Even the rabbis agree that keeping Shabbat is not required of or even permitted to Gentiles.
