You have posted scripture references but they do not adresss the question as to how we are to observe the Sabbath today, under Christ.
Under the Law, people were put to death for not strictly adhering to the rules of the Sabbath law, to the point of even gathering sticks to kindle a fire meant death.
Example
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lordcommanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
Numbers 15:32-36
What I am asking for from you, are the scriptures from the New Testament that guide and direct us as to how the Sabbath is to be observed today, so that the Church can be informed and instructed to properly observe the Sabbath today, while under Christ. We see how it was under Moses, what we all need to know is how we are to go about our Sabbath day, under Christ.
Some helpful examples might include:
Remeber when quoting scripture references such as 1 John 3:4 which says...
Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
1 John 3:4
This scripture says nothing about how we are to observe the Sabbath today.
If the Church doesn’t know how to go about observing the Sabbath today, then how can she properly obey the Sabbath regulations that are required? JPT

Some helpful examples might include:
- When does the Sabbath begin, Friday at sundown or Saturday 12:01am ?
- What can we do? Cook, make bed, travel. How far can we travel?
- Is it required that we attend a church service. How far away can we travel?
- Is Synagogue attendance mandatory?
- What is considered as work? Putting dishes on the table, or picking them up? Laundry or dishwasher?
- When does the Sabbath under Christ, officially end. Sundown Saturday or Midnight? Any leeway in the schedule for emergencies?

We just may have to agree to disagree as you seem to just keep stating the same thing over and over without trying to address the posts and scriptures that have been shared with you.
This makes it difficult to continue a conversation with you if you ignore the posts and the scrioptures being sent to you and you make no effort to exlpain why it is you disagree.
Also editing out your question that was answered to make is look like something else was asked in my view makes me believe you are not interested in a discussion on this topic. It is ok. You are free to believe as you wish. There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed come judgement day.
Please by all means if you would like to continue and answer the posts and the scriptures in them then I would look forward to hearing from you. If not then we should agree to disagree

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
There is not one scripture in ALL of God's WORD that says God's 4th commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to worship God on Sunday in it's place.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
In times of ignorance God winks at but now calls all men every where to REPENT for the KINGDOM of HEAVEN is at HAND (Acts 17:30-31)
