And they're wrong.
Exodus 31:16–17 (KJV):
“Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:
for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
"Perpetual covenant" is a very strong and clear phrasing. But considering a large percentage of people can't seem to wrap their head around "shall not be infringed" either, I'm not surprised the masses have been misled.

Can we throw out the ten commandments then? 🤔
Does God change, if he describes something as a "perpetual covenant" to last between himself and Israel "forever"—and then casually overwrites it some several generations later?
This is Mosaic Law, which was given specifically to Israel. It included things like ceremonial law (clean versus unclean food, circumcision, etc) as well. We are not jews under the Mosaic Law, we are Christians under a new covenant with Christ, who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets.

So you're saying you know better than the Apostles did?
