DID SHA'UL (OR PAUL) KEEP SABBATH?

If he didn't keep Sabbath, his testimony would have been void in convincing Yehudim (or Jews) of their Messiah.
Notes: I used "Paul" and "Jews" in the Image because most Christians aren't familiar with original transliteration of names. No matter what country I visit, my name is still my name. I want to appeal to "Christianity", that they see the requirement in keeping the Torah as their Savior has commanded them, in order that they may obtain the life He promises, Matthew 19:17, John 14:21, Luke 24:13-16, Luke 24:24-27.
It has been said, "the New Testament believers didn't keep the Sabbath". Oh really? If that were so, then wouldn't יהושע our Messiah or even Sha'ul have been condemned and killed for breaking the Torah which commands us to keep the Sabbath days Set-apart, Exodus 20:8-11, which is the 7th day of every week? Oh wait, our Messiah was killed for being sinless! Remember who they were in front of in those days: The Yehudim (or Jews), and many of them were hesitant to accept the Messiah as prophesied, and claimed to have strictly followed the Torah of Mosheh, though if they were, they would have come to Messiah, John 6:45.
Sha'ul in Rome
"And it came to be after three days that Sha'ul called the leaders of the Yehudim together. And when they had come together, he said to them, "Men, brothers, though I have done none at all against our people or the practices of our fathers, I was delivered as a prisoner from Yerushalayim into the hands of the Romans, who, when they had examined me, intended to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death."
Acts 28:17-18 TS2009
Rewinding a bit
"And when he had come, the Yehudim who had come down from Yerushalayim stood about, bringing many and heavy charges against Sha'ul, which they were unable to prove, while Sha'ul said in his own defence, "Neither against the Torah of the Yehudim, nor against the Set-apart Place, nor against Caesar did I commit any sin."
Acts 25:7-8 TS2009
"..and having withdrawn, they spoke to each other, saying, "This man is doing none at all deserving death or chains."
Acts 26:31 TS2009
It really is amazing how people will make assumptions that the New Testament believers didn't obey the Torah, but right here seems to be one example.
The unbeliever will work hard to find reasons out of keeping the Sabbath, while the believer finds ways to keep it. One has repented, the other has not.
Most everyone knows who their Savior is, but haven't a clue what they're saved from because Christianity has abolished the Torah which is against them. If they were saved from the condemnation of their sin, then they would be keeping His commandments; the original reason they needed a Savior to begin with.
One of the commandments is keeping the Sabbath day Holy, which is every 7th day, Exodus 20:8-11. Going to church on Sunday is fine, but if you disregard the Sabbath on Saturdays to make it on Sunday, you are breaking the 4th commandments! If you want forgiveness from this sin, you must stop breaking this commandment and start keeping the right day, on the 7th day, Ezekiel 18:27-28. If you continue disobeying, you will perish, Luke 13:3.
Please don't follow Christianity's many sinful traditions, instead, follow our Master Yahusha Messiah (Son of Elohim, our Creator by obedience), Revelation 18:4.
May יהוה (Yahuah), our Creator, be with you!
