"It is also clear from the book of Acts, that Paul kept only the Sabbath day in Corinth, and not Sunday: Acts 18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. Acts 18:11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. That’s 72 Sabbaths that Paul preached in Corinth. There can be no question that Paul raised up a Sabbath keeping church in Corinth, a church that knew nothing of observing Sunday as a holy day. "

Now you must be really desperate. There is simply nothing that establishes that Paul raised up a Sabbath keeping church in Corinth in "he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks," (Acts 18:4) and jumping down to verse 11 in your attempt to join the two is fallacious, for that is after "many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized," (v. 8) and thus "Paul continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. " And resulting in Paul being charged with persuading men to worship God contrary to the law. 

There is simply nothing here about Paul raising up a Sabbath keeping church in Corinth, and that you assert there was no question that he did and which knew nothing about sanctifying resurrection day is absurd, and examples forcing Scripture to to testify to what you can only wish it did.

We know that Paul did raise a church in Corinth (known fact from the bible). We also know that he "reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks (to keep the first day of the week, Sunday)... just kidding about that last part. It was a Sabbath-keeping church. Paul kept God's 10 commandment law, which included the 7th-day-Sabbath, until the day he died. So did every other apostle. You are desperate and absurd to suggest otherwise.

It is the hallmark of cults that they 'see' things that are not in scripture. In deed, you point out one of the major reasons to believe Paul was not teaching the keeping of the law as the means to have the Righteousness of Christ, in that his accuserrs accused him of teaching people to not trust in the law for righteousness. But of course a cult mind cannot make that connection since the things of God are spiritually discerned and the cult member lacks the spirit abiding in their spirit.

See you in the clouds, brother.
