Either your interpetation is correct and Jesus is wrong, or the other way around. I am sticking with what Jesus said.
John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
1 John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
So not different commandments than what Jesus kept. We have a God who always showed by example right from Creation Gen 2:1-3 Exo 20:8-11 because we were made in His image. Gen 1:26
Circumcision and feast days were all part of the law of Moses.
Acts 15:5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
The Sabbath was something written personally by God, that God claimed in God’s own Words as ”My commandments” Exo 20:6. God placed the Sabbath in the same unit as only worship Him and not to murder. Your grievance on the Sabbath commandment is not with me.
Paul contrasted circumcise from the law of Moses with God’s commandments
1 Cor 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.
It can’t be clearer. Jesus never sacrificed animals and all of animal sacrifices and the feast days from the law of Moses pointed and were fulfilled in Christ 1 Cor 5:7 Heb 9:10-15 Heb 10:1-22
If one doesn’t feel they need to do righteousness or justice in the NC, or no need to join themselves with Christ in the NC, or need His blessing or sanctification and can santify oneself Isa 66:17, than I guess the Sabbath is not for them. For me I need Jesus for everything, Jesus blesses us when we keep Isa 56:1-6 no man can take that away Num 23:20 and never did Jesus teach we no longer needed to keep, He kept it faithfully so if its good enough for Jesus and God at Creation when He made everything perfect, and He said was made for man and He is Lord of, well thats Who my faith abides in. Jesus told His faithful to pray for over 40 years that their flight might not be on the Sabbath day after His Cross, so no indication from Jesus His blessing ever ended. He promises it won’t Isa 66:23
This argument might actually be viable if you didn’t teach that we must also observe the dietary laws as well which are not part of the 10 commandments. By enforcing the dietary laws with the 10 commandments your argument falls apart because of the inconsistency in your argument because in reality you don’t actually teach that the 10 commandments are the only Mosaic laws that we must observe and in doing this you demonstrate an inconsistency by not following the entire law, nor only the 10 commandments. What this indicates is that you actually pick and choose which commanders you want to observe and which commandments you don’t want to observe and therefore DO NOT FOLLOW CHRIST’S EXAMPLE WHO KEPT ALL OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.
You quoted Jesus from John 15 saying that we must keep HIS commandments. What did He say that was HIS commandment in that passage?
“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. “
This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.”
John 15:10-12 NASB1995
You also quoted 1 John 2:6, again what commandment was mentioned in that passage?
“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”
1 John 2:3-11 NASB1995
Both of these passages refer to loving one another, neither of them say a single word about keeping the sabbath. So you’re quoting these passages out of context and intentionally omitting the context of these verses in order to promote your theology which is DIRECTLY ADDRESSED in Colossians 2:16.
“
Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.”
Colossians 2:16-17 NASB1995
Now we can get into the discussion about the difference between ordinances and commandments again if you’d like me to quote Deuteronomy 5 and Numbers 28 again where the 10 commandments were referred to as ordinances and statutes and the New Moon feasts were referred to as commandments so that argument isn’t going to work. The fact of the matter is that Paul specifically said that we are not to be judged according to observing a sabbath day or on what we eat or drink.
