The Law of God hasn't been abolished...only the Law of Moses. Concerning the Sabbath, the Law of God states:

Exodus 20:8-11 ESV
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Rest and worship. Frankly, it's the easiest commandment to obey.

Perhaps it is but why are there no major denominations who's entire doctrine is based around other commandments?

Why isn't there a Thou Murderist Not church? Or a Covestist Not Thy Neighbors Wife Federation church? Or even an Excuse me, why doth thou needith a starship church?
