Sounds like you can’t actually answer the question.

I answered the question. You don't like the answer. God demands and deserves worship. He's an awesome God. Beyond our imagination. Adam and Eve, Enoch, Methuseleh, etc . . . all worshiped God. And on the Sabbath. It's implied. Down through the ages Gods faithful did this at great cost no doubt. Abraham wouldn't have pleased God if he did not worship Him as God wanted and instructed.

Gen_26:5  because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."

God had laws and commandments before he made a covenant with Israel. One of these was the Sabbath, which was made at creation. It's part of the fabric of God's creation.

God is indeed to be worshipped but NOWHERE is there any command on which day to do it on.

The rule about the Sabbath is about resting, not doing any ordinary work. It says NOTHING about it being a mandatory day of worship or the day one must worship God on or burn for eternity.

. Adam and Eve, Enoch, Methuseleh, etc . . . all worshiped God. And on the Sabbath. It's implied.

Where? And how does *It's IMPLIED* Become, *You must worship on the Seventh day or go to hell?

The two have been conflated to the point where *Rest on the 7th day* becomes *Worship on the 7th day or go to hell*. When and how did that happen? And exactly what does *Rest on the 7th day entail? Just how much is allowed to be done in order to still be called rest. Or what is prohibited so that one doesn't inadvertently work?

What are the requirements/guidelines and who sets them and where are they to be found?

Can one travel? Fix a flat tire if you get one while out? How far? Cook? Clean up after the meal? Get on the internet? Do hospitals, fire departments, and law enforcement all take the day off? What happens if there's a fire or medical emergency? Too bad for you?

What activities can one do?
