The Holy Spirit inspired the early Christian Church's leaders to chose for their own OT canon only the OT books that God wanted them to choose.
RE: Sabbath Laws
Matt 5
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The Christians did not nullify them [Sabbath laws], nor did Christ.

The Church of the early Christians was called the Catholic Church.
The official name of my church is the Catholic Church.
I belong to the Roman Rite of this Catholic Church.
All Early Church Fathers were Catholics belonging to the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church's official name was already recorded in St. Ignatius of Antioch's letter to the Smyrnaeans in 107 A.D. In that Apostolic Letter, he wrote;
Chapter 8:
See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.
What unit of Law is Paul promoting here?
Eph 6:2
2 Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise),
What unit of Law (in the actual Bible) is Paul holding up before the NT saints when he instructs us to Honor our parents?
It would be the one where the 5th commandment is the "First commandment with a promise" -- and unit of LAW in the Bible - has that feature??
=======================
And in Heb 8:6-10 we are told that JESUS is the one giving the TEN Commandments at Sinai.
So then the NEW Covenant "I will write My LAW on their mind and heart" Jer 31:-31-33
But the ten WERE given by GOD, which is the equivalent of Christ.Hebrews 8:6-13 does not say that the Ten Commandments were given by CHRIST.
It was called the Catholic Church pretty early on, BEFORE 108 AD, when Ignatius wrote about the Catholic Church to an audience that was clearly familiar with the term. Ignatius was baptized by Peter and was a student of John, who was still living when the term Catholic Church was in vogue. Clearly that church which was called the Catholic Church was the SAME church that was begun at Pentecost.Not by anyone in the NT.

Ignatius' 15 letters are divided up between outright forgeries/fakes (about 50%) and "interpolations"

Nothing in the NT singles out the ten. However, ALL 613 commandments were given by God himself, which is the equivalent of Christ.True, but Hebrews 8:6-13 says nothing particular at all about the "Ten" Commandments.

What LAW do you think is written on their (our) mind and heart?
True, but Hebrews 8:6-13 says nothing particular at all about the "Ten" Commandments.
Not in specific words. Not everything that was known about the faith was chosen to be written down and not everything that was written about the faith was chosen to be included in the NT Bible.
Romans 1:8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. njv
Whole world - universal - catholic.
Perhaps most, at least some, of us give lip service to that idea. However, is there a particular reason you don't keep all of God's commandments?
No. Sometimes one of the ten is quoted, but even then it is simply quoted as an example of one of the 613.Are you sure "nothing" in the NT specifically speaks about the TEN Commandments?
