This is answered further on in verse 13. As those who will be judged by the "law of liberty", we should always show mercy to others by refraining from partiality. In other words, the mercy we show will be extended to us again on the day of judgment, and that mercy triumphs over judgment. For example if one wants to judge another based on the sabbath law of the Old Covenant, and fails in other areas, they will be as Jesus said from the Sermon on the Mount: "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." I would tread lightly of judging others based on this!

What makes you think that the law is still the 10 commandments when they were set aside and are no longer in effect?
Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an END to the LAW WITH ALL ITS COMMANDS AND RULES. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.
Colossians 2:14 He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross.
Galatians 2:16 ...No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.
Galatians 2:21 ...What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
Galatians 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace... The ONLY verse that talks about falling from grace, and they did it by trying to follow the law!
Jesus said he didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. (Matt 5:17) The effect was the same. Once fulfilled it was no longer in effect. The very next verse, Matthew 5:18, looks forward to the time when the law would be set aside. "...Not even the smallest stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED." IF the law were intended to be permanent, the "UNTIL..." clause would be meaningless.
On the cross, Jesus' last recorded saying, "It is finished," is an important milestone. Because of Jesus life, Satan had been defeated. The law was finished and would no longer stand between God and mankind.
The 10 commandments along with the rest of the law ("commands and rules" from Ephesians 2:15) were "set aside" when they were fulfilled or completed at Jesus' resurrection. We are no longer bound by that law.
You are right on one point. The commandments cannot be arbitrarily changed. They were written in stone. BUT... the ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AT JESUS DEATH...
The curtain which blocked access to God was torn. Now ANYONE can go to God and not just the high priest and any time rather than only one day a year. Hebrews explains how the TEMPORARY, LIMITED system established by the law of Moses was replaced by the COMPLETE, ETERNAL system which was instituted on PENTECOST.
Christian assembly IS NOT the same as or a substitute for keeping the Sabbath. It was NEVER intended to be, though some erroneously link the two.
... I have seen many claim that the church met on Saturday for about 300 years and it was changed to Sunday by Rome. This CANNOT be true since several writers DURING that time discuss the church MEETING ON SUNDAYS. The writings of Justin Martyr (First Apology, 156 A.D.) and Tertullian (Ad Nationes, c. 200) both write extensively and clearly explain WHY the Christians meet on SUNDAY. My comments here are getting too long for such a question, but anyone interested can read these 2, along with many others online at http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/
IF it was truly as the SDA'a claim, HOW DID THESE MEN WRITING OVER 100 YEARS BEFORE THE "CHANGE" KNOW WHAT DAY CHRISTIANS WOULD BE WORSHIPING ON???

Most typically, sunday is actually the 7th day, in the past hundred years or so, for several cultural/social/economic reasons, sunday has become the beginnning of the week. The only major thing I've noticed as a contradiction of MY church, and the commandments, is "You shall not make for yourself an image, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." As where crosses, and Christ on a cross, is a common idol that is typically worshiped by christians.
If you wish to criticize either the religion, or its followers, you obviously have very little compassion for humanity.

The theme behind the book of James' is "religion" (Gr., threskeia, "outward religious service") as the expression and proof of faith. He does not exalt works as against faith, but faith as producing works.
Somehow you missed the message of GRACE that is found within those few chapters within that book and instead get hooked up in law - which Jesus freed us from.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death.
1Co 15:56 Now the sting of death [is] sin, but the power of sin [is] the Law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, the One giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
1Co 15:58 So then, my beloved brothers [and sisters], continue becoming steadfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your* labor is not empty [fig., not without results] in [the] Lord.
Rom 14:5 One indeed judges [or, considers] a day [to be] above [another] day, but another judges every day [to be alike]; be letting each be fully convinced in his own mind.
Col 2:16 Therefore, stop letting anyone judge you* in eating or in drinking or with regard to a feast or of a new moon [festival] or of Sabbaths,

That is the Jewish Sabbath. Byt since Jesus Christ was risen on a Sunday, the Christians called it the Lord's Day and we assemble on that day of the week to Praise and orship Him, as it was done in the first century.

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Romans 6:14 - For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:15 - What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
If we Pray having Faith that God will forgive us, He will and wash us in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

I think i might be able to help you with the James verse. When it talks about breaking one point it isn't saying that you broke EVERY law of God. It is simply saying your broke the unity. For example if you hit a window with a hammer only once, it will destory the whole window and whole untiy of it. When it talks about being guilty in "all" things it is once again refering to the untiy. You are guilty in breaking the untiy of God's laws.
However, God will forgive (like we are promised) but you have to repent. This isn't saying that if you break one law then you are going straight to Hell. We are imperfect and are very sinful. .lucky we had Jesus to save us and God to forgive us.

If there is one more idiotic argument about which day to worship the Lord I'm going to scream.
People are perishing for lack of knowledge about Jesus Christ....and we're arguing amongst one another about which day to go to church.
No wonder people laugh at Christians.

It doesn't say Saturday, it says "the sixth day". How are we to know what the sixth day is? What if it is Thursday? Traditionally it is Saturday but no where does it say "God started creating the universe on Sunday and rested on Saturday"....
