Christians were NOT given the sabbath
Paul preached or argued with the Jews on the sabbath because he could find many people on that day - Acts 13:14, 42; 17:2-3; 18:4
We no where read that 'he kept' the sabbath... to preach on the sabbath is one thing - 'to keep' the sabbath is something else.
Christians have no law that they must keep the sabbath.
There is no example of the early Christians 'keeping the Sabbath'.
Christians are not judged concerning the Sabbath and other elements of Judaism - Col. 2:14-17; Rom. 6:14
Christians are specifically 'free from' and 'dead to' the law that contained the 10 commandments - Romans 7:
The remaining sabbath rest unto the people of God is that which shall be in Heaven - Hebrews 4:1-11; 11:13-16.
