The Sabbath was given exclusively to the children of Israel..... But what is the hypocrisy here? The 10 commandments are the covenant you believe is dead (Deuteronomy 4:13) and then you'll plant the sign and disregard the one about the Sabbath claiming it was done away with but then leaving it on your sign.
Exodus 31:16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.
Leviticus 24:8 This bread is to be set out before the LORD regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant.

The dietary laws were abrogated by Jesus which was reiterated by Peter and Paul.You don't know why God gave or did not give any commandment... He didn't tell us. He said catfish wasn't food, but you'll eat it anyway because you believe the God who changes not... changed. I don't... sorry... you won't convince me and I have no desire to convince you. Do as you believe and are convicted... sorry I chimed in. I will move on after this.

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

Using vulgar expressions does not make a false statement true.It is the heart of God... and it is eternal. What is sin is that which stands opposed to His character and authority... that which is permissible stands in harmony with His character and authority and the law is what tells us what is and is not sin. It is a sin for man to lay with a man as he would a woman... it is a sin to take the life of another with intent... it is sin to eat a bottom dwelling poop eater..... NOT because I said so, but because the God who does not change said so. So, this is how I live, and when and if I fail I have an advocate in Yeshua. But... if you love Him keep His commandments (and the words He spoke were not His but rather the Father's words) and like John said, the love of God is in keeping the commandments. We are not saved by our works, but the saved work. We don't obey to become a child of God, but the children of God obey their Father.
Be blessed.
