So I've said, quite straight forward-like, that what I believe they really mean is that the 10 Commandments, though part of the Law, are representative of the fact that the Law contains an eternal moral imperative, to live in God's image, to be "like" God. It is not an endorsement of the Sabbath Law as part of the New Covenant.
Correct amondo...
But there are people that really do not have it in their head to get it straight.
God never called the ten items in chapter 20 commandments.
They are summaries of Laws and as you should expect the details of each of these summaries are fully explained in the body of the 613 Mosaic Laws. Beyond that Christians do not have a Saturday Sabbath, Christians are not concerned about engraved images and our wives are not listed along with our property. Then you have….You shall have no other gods before me.....In Christianity we have the God Yahweh and the God Yeshua and the God Holy Spirit so this does not apply. You can do a tap dance and razzmatazz and word juggling if you want and say 3 Gods in one.....But the Jews will never buy that. Three named Gods that talked to each other and interacted with each other and referenced each other as Father and Son....notice the and 1+1+1=3.
The Ten Commandments that the Covenant was formed in accordance with are in Exodus 34:10-28
Be sure to observe what I am commanding you this day….Exodus 34:11
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. Exodus 34”27 & 28
It is all well and good but as far as religious standards or guidance they are not part of Christianity.
