You are asking me to interpret scripture. The prophesy that Laws and times would be perceived to be changed, was given to Daniel; I don't think Gabriel expanded on this so I look to see which of God's Laws have appeared to be change; one is circumcision, another is the abrogation of the Ten Commandments. For times, the Sabbath is changed to Sunday and some throw the seventieth week down to the end of time.
One man considers one day more sacred/ holy than another, another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mindWhat exactly do you consider to be the old way of the written code??
You would quote the Fourth Commandment; anyone can tell, IF YOU HAD THE COURAGE.
But now as always you lack the courage. Hero!
Its strange, but people who don't keep the law pertaining to the inner man, the law that no one but God knows if they break, boast they keep the lawAs much greater and more inclusive of all minor Laws of God is the Law YOU claim to obey and boast you are able to obey, as much must your heart condemn you, for you hinge everything on the Law you least obey, and are least able, to obey -- if you are a sincere Christian. Are you God? God does not judge the way you judge and condemn. Not even God can be holy as you are. For God does not claim that He keeps a Law which He does not keep, but despises.
The old way of the written code is looking to the letter of individual commandments and striving to obey them to please God.What exactly do you consider to be the old way of the written code??

What would you call a covenant where Christ died in your place for your sins?I am not aware that there is such a thing as covenant of Grace except as a man made doctrine; Jesus neve taught it. God is graceful and has given each of us the duration of our life the make the WAY straight.
Its strange, but people who don't keep the law pertaining to the inner man, the law no one but God knows they break, claim they keep the lawDeuteronomy 11:1 “Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always". Verse 13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 THEN I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. Here we see another condition to receive the latter rain you must obey the Lord's commandments. This world will be total chaos if people didn't keep God's commandments and this is not legalism. The commandments are a blessing for the good of you and your neighbor.
Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law or by believing what you heard?
Are you so foolish? After begining with the Spirit are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? Gal3:3

... implying he keeps the law pertaining to the inner man, the law which no one but he and God know, he breaks.The people who most earnestly stress obey the law reflect the least what Christ termed the higher points of the law

Why isnt everyday your true spiritual Sabbath rest?So, your answer to Paul's questions is, Yes! I have received the Spirit by observing the Law which I have often insisted that I keep instead of the Sabbath. Yes I received the Spirit by having loved God above all.
In Jesus day the Pharisees were the people who stressed most earnestly the letter of the law be fully obeyed. On the outside they appeared the most Godly, righteous of people, but Jesus said on the inside they were full of wickedness, hypocrisy and everything unclean. The ordinary person would probably have assumed because the Pharisees appeared on the outside the most Godly of people they were the same on the inside. The ordinary person probably felt much guilt in this regard, for they knew on the inside they were far from perfect.Good! Tell them!

The Christian rests from their work, for Christ paid the price of their faliures.... like
Because the Sabbath isn't my everyday true spiritual Rest, but while the Lord God in Christ Jesus Himself is my everyday true spiritual Rest[*], "the day The Seventh Day is Sabbath OF THE LORD GOD". Not mine either!
[*"The Rest-of-God", 'Katapausis tou Theou']
"Because if JESUS gave them Rest (that is, gave them Himself), there THEREFORE for the People of God remains Sabbath Day's rest." 'sabbatismos tohi laohi apoleipetai'.
According to what os written in the new testement( covenant) you are quite entitled to set a specific day aside as a Sabbath /holy day. You are not entitled to insist everyone else does the same... like

No one attained to heaven under the old covenant, for no one could be truly righteous under it. All rely on Christs death at Calvary.
The law is inflexible, it holds to a standard nan cannot attain. Break the law at just one point and you stand guilty under it.
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it
James 2:10
I'm sure in your case God is pleased you see it the way you do, for you are doing what in your heart you believe to be right on this issueFor sure! But not <<all rely on Christ's death at Calvary>>.[*] Because all "GOD spake concerning the Seventh Day", relies on Christ's Resurrection -- from the beginning until "God thus spake ... by the Son ... and God the day, The Seventh Day, from ALL, HIS, WORKS, RESTED!" "Thus", "the LORD on the Seventh Day rested and was revived", and "rested up again, his Name being The Most Holy Place" of every true believer's everyday true spiritual Rest of God.
All concerning the Sabbath Day in the Gospel of Jesus Christ relies on his Resurrection from the dead "Late on the Sabbath in the mid-afternoon as it began to daw towards the First Day of the week", on none of man's sick sloth and neglect that he claims is God's, rest.
