Hi cliff
All of that has been dealt with on the Sabbath threads,
For one, There is no Scriptural reference of Paul worshiping on the Sabbath, Every Sabbath reference concerning Paul shows he went to the Synagogues to Preach Christ Risen and in most cases was run out of town on the Sabbath
Ac 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Ac 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Ac 18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
There are no instructions by Paul or any other apostle that Gentile Christians must keep the Sabbath, This was concluded in Acts ch 15
It was decided that Jewish beleivers would follow the Law of Moses if they choose and Gentiles could if they wished also, But neither were required to so,
Ac 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Christian Pharisee's demand that Gentile Christians Keep the law,
Ac 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Ac 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Peter argues against forcing the Gentiles to Obey the OT law
Ac 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Ac 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
James the brother of Jesus sides with Peter and Paul, Declares Apostles should teach that Gentiles are not obligated to keep the law and says any who wish may go to the Synagogue and learn of Moses
Ac 15:23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
Ac 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Ac 15:25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Ac 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ac 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
Ac 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Ac 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
A letter is written to inform the Gentiles that the Judaizers had no auhority to place the Gentiles under the requirements of the Mosaic law and what the apostles deemed necessary for them to obey
There are no referecences to Christians ever gathering on the Sabbath day to break bread together or to receive religious instruction, In fact there are no references of Christians gathering on the Sabbath for any reason at all,
Ac 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
We see Christians gathering on the first day of the week {Sunday} to break bread {Eucharist} and hear Paul preach {receive religious instruction
1co 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
1co 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
We see Paul issuing instructions that the tithe is to be done on Sunday,
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Paul instructs Gentiles not to pay any mind to those who Judge them according to the requirements of the Law, This included Sabbath keeping, For all those things were just shadows that pass away but Jesus is the substance and remains forever,
yours in Christ

So what we have with you thoughts here is that we should follow the example of Paul.
We look into the New Testament we see that Paul's custom was to worship on the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week.
