HEBREWS 4:9 [9], So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.
............
Should you also be putting up a challange for anyone to provide scripture where JESUS says we should not have other Gods; make idols and worship them; use God's name in vain?
If there is no scripture from JESUS are you also arguing that we are free now to have other God's; use God's name in vain? make idols and worship them? You do not believe this do you brother?

That is not what Hebrews 4:9 states according to the Greek Manuscripts! Hebrews 4:9 states:
"So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God."
And, the Truth, the Word, Jesus Christ, God said (Matthew 11:28):
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."
The Truth is clear, Jesus Christ is the rest of we believers in the New Covenant:
"And in the same way [He took] the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.'" (Luke 22:20)
"When He said, 'A new [covenant],' He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:13)
Old Covenant keeprs are bound to the Law, God's Word commands not to make a likeness, period. The sentence in Verse 4 is complete. God's Word commands not to worship "them" which can be either "gods" from Verse 2 and/or "idol"s from Verse 4, yet neither Verse 2 nor Verse 4 grammatically depends on Verse 5; therefore,
"Logical Conclusion to Keeping the Old Covenant Law Post" (in this thread) in which a drivers license or some such with a likeness of a person who keeps the Law of the Old Covenant remains logically and lexically correct. This is proven out further by the
"Grammatical Explanation of Exodus 20:2-6 Post for the Logical Conclusion to Keeping the Old Covenant Law Post" (in this thread).
There is no need for a "challenge" about other gods because the Lord Jesus makes it clear there is only room for the One True God! The Truth commands (Matthew 22:37-40):
"'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two commandments rests the whole Law and the Prophets."
So, the Truth commands "LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART"; therefore, a heart saturated with the love of God has no room for other gods nor idols nor vain usage of His Name nor worshipping falsehood.
Now, about keeping the Old Covenant 7th day sabbath, or more appropriately not needing to keep the 7th day sabbath of the Old Covenant, God's Word in
The Lord Jesus Commands and Defends Work by People on the Old Covenant Sabbath Post is quite clear that we believers in the New Covenant are not bound to keep the 7th day sabbath as recorded in the Old Covenant. We believers in the New Covenant have our rest in the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Either your bible or your words try to change the meaning of scripture with your very first quote in your post. Trying to alter scripture is the attempted corruption of scripture, and this goes right back to
"God's Word Disagrees With Your Use Of The Word 'Love' As Well As Your Acts Of Adding To And Subtracting From Scripture Post" (in this thread) and
"Follow-up about God's Word Disagrees With You Post".
Listen to Truth:

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to satisfy." (Matthew 5:17)
"For the Law, since it has [only] a shadow of the good things to come [and] not the very form of things" (Hebrews 10:1)
"And in the same way [He took] the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.'" (Luke 22:20)
"When He said, 'A new [covenant],' He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:13)
