7. Christian freedom allows worship of God on any day of the week a church pleases...Sunday is a good one because it is the resurrection day.

U-2012>#7 That is lawlessness !

Not at all. Those who are being led by the Spirit do not carry out the desire of the flesh, but instead bear the fruit of the Spirit, against which, there is no law.

Where can I find that in scripture ?

Please review:
Matt. 7:23; 13:41; 23:28; 24:12; Rom. 6:19; 2 Co. 6:14; 2 Thess. 2:3, 7; Heb. 1:9; 1 Jn. 3:4

What the messianics sometimes fail to understand is that old covenant gave way to new. The rabbis went in one direction while Jesus and His apostles when in another. The old covenant Sabbath was temporary, and looked on as an accommodation within the new Christian community until the transition from old covenant to new was completed. This happened around AD70 with the destruction of the temple. We see a gradual transition in the NT, esp., in Acts as more and more gentiles are added to the faith.

The only “Christians” who continued to insist on a seventh-day religious sabbath were the heretics like the Ebionites. Today we have a new breed of Ebionite. Trying to follow shadowy, ersatz old covenant forms, some not sure of the trinity, trying to place gentiles under the (expired) law of Moses.
