Well say the Moral law is subjective in your definition as some denomination defined it differently.
I believe the 4th commandment was not part of the ceremonial laws. Its part of the 10 commandments, being written on stone by the finger of God and placed inside the arc of the covenant resembles its permanence and the very character of God.
Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross- Colossians 2:14
What is this handwritting of ordinances that was against us?
Answer these laws are the ceremonial and sacrificial laws that was placed beside the arc that was "against us" that was Blotted out and nailed to the cross.
"And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
Deuteronomy 31:24-26
There is clearly a distinction in these set of laws.
Ceremonial sabbaths are the monthly sabbaths ie: passover celebration, day of Pentecost, feast of first fruits are part of the laws and ordinances and ceremonial laws.
Weekly Sabbath of the 4th commandment was what God commanded us to "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy". Placed inside the arc of the Covenant. This is part of the 10 commandments, if we ought not to steal we also ought to keep the weekly sabbath holy these are in the same tablets of stone written and commanded by God.
and we Should not forget this commandment that begins with remember.
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
