gentiles were and are not under the Law of Moses.
no Sabbath keeping required. the N.T. commands are what we are under.
Here is the exact quotes from the BIBLE. This is Talking about the Sabbath Keeping Law. How do we KNOW ? Jesus reiterated 9 of the 10 commandments, and HE DID NOT MENTION THE SABBATH KEEP LAW. WHY? It was a sign of the covenant between God and the Children of ISRAEL.
Exodus 31:16-17 (NJB)
16 The Israelites will keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath for all their generations to come: this is an eternal covenant.
17 Between myself and the Israelites, this is a sign for ever, for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he rested and drew breath.” '
BUT JESUS KNEW their was another LAW, that stated:
Any change in the priesthood must mean a change in the Law as well.
So JESUS CHOSE THE SABBATH LAW TO CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING ELSE, and it does not mention the day of the week, infact it says every day is coequal.
Hebrews 7:11-17 (NJB)
11 Now if perfection had been reached through the levitical priesthood—and this was the basis of the Law given to the people—why was it necessary for a different kind of priest to arise, spoken of as being
of the order of Melchizedek rather than of the order of Aaron?
12
Any change in the priesthood must mean a change in the Law as well.
13
So our Lord, of whom these things were said, belonged to a different tribe, the members of which have never done service at the altar;
14
everyone knows he came from Judah, a tribe which Moses did not mention at all when dealing with priests.
15 This becomes even more clearly evident if another priest, of the type of Melchizedek,
16 arises who is a priest not in virtue of a law of physical descent, but in virtue of the power of an indestructible life.
17 For he is attested by the prophecy:
You are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:18-25 (NJB)
18
The earlier commandment is thus abolished, because of its weakness and ineffectiveness
19 since the Law could not make anything perfect;
but now this commandment is replaced by something better—
the hope that brings us close to God.
20 Now the former priests became priests without any oath being sworn,
21 but this one with the swearing of an oath by him who said to him,
The Lord has sworn an oath he will never retract: you are a priest for ever;
22 the very fact that it occurred with the swearing of an oath makes the covenant of which Jesus is the guarantee all the greater.
23 Further, the former priests were many in number, because death put an end to each one of them;
24 but this one, because he remains
for ever, has a perpetual priesthood.
25 It follows, then, that his power to save those who come to God through him is absolute, since he lives for ever to intercede for them.
Romans 14:4-6 (HCSB)
4 Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand. For the Lord is able to make him stand.

One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord. Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat ⌊it⌋, yet he thanks God.
Here is what He Changed it to:
Hebrews 10:23-25 (HCSB)
23 Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24 And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works,
25 not staying away from our ⌊worship⌋ meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
