You could have saved yourself quite a lot of time if you read the OP here. NOW what makes everythnig you have posted come tumbling down, is that NO one here has said or BELIEVES that anyone is made RIGHTEOUS by keeping God's LAW (10 Commandments)
We are saved by GRACE through FAITH and not of ourselves it is a GIFT of God and not of WORKS lest anyman should boast. So if we are in agreement here then you have no argument. Thanks for sharing though love the scriptures.
However, if your FAITH does not have the FRUIT of OBEDIENCE to God's LAW then you are still in your SINS and do not KNOW him who LOVES YOU and CALLS you to follow him and unless you repent and seek God for forgiveness your tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire (James 2:18; 20; 26; Matthew 7:13-23)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
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)
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)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
