Jesus Gave Us New Laws in the New Covenant

Christians are "new covenant" believers.  Christ gave us new laws as part of the new covenant.  We don't have to obey the Law of Moses.

Jesus Observed the Law So We Don't Have To

It is impossible to obey the Law.  Jesus observed the Law perfectly, so we don't have to try to keep it.

Melchizedek's Priesthood Is Greater So the Levitical Priesthood Ended

The Levitical priesthood was only necessary for a period of time until the Melchizedekian priesthood was fulfilled in Christ.  The lesser priesthood (and the lesser covenant) are no longer needed!  Why have the Mosaic Law at all?!?

Only Nine of the Ten Commandments Were Given to Christians

If you read through the Gospels, Christ only gave nine of the ten commandments to His followers: the commandment of the Sabbath was never reiterated.

The Ceremonial Laws Were Abolished When the Temple Was Destroyed

God was apparently done with all of that so He allowed the Temple to be destroyed and it hasn't been rebuilt in 2,000 years.

The Dispensation of the Law Has Ended

People didn't keep the 613 commandments before Sinai and they didn't keep them after Christ.  The dispensation of Law has ended, therefore, we don't have to obey the Law now.

The Law of Moses Doesn't Apply to Gentiles

Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel..." (Exodus 19:3)

Trying to apply the law of Moses to Gentiles would violate the letter of the law itself since it is addressed only to the Jews at Mt. Sinai and their descendants.

The Law Was Given to the Jews

The Law of Moses was given to the Jews at Mt. Sinai.  I am not a Jew therefore the Law does not apply to me.

Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the LORD had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.  (Exodus 34:32)

The Physical Law was Given to Physical Israel

The physical law (the commandments of the Mosaic Law) was given to physical Israel, but we are spiritual Israel so the physical law doesn't apply to us.

We Don't Know What Day the Sabbath Really Is

With all of the calendar changes, wars, natural disasters, and other events, we don't know what day "the seventh day" really is.  We are free to observe whatever day we want.
