I don't like your philosophy. Jesus tells us that the greatest commandment is to love your God and to love one another. And indeed, you can only love God if you also love others. Therefore, love of others is the way in which we can follow the laws of God, rather than worshipping on any particular day. But it's actually much more than that. In one Gospel passage, a rich man comes up to Jesus and asks him how to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Jesus first gives him the ten commandments but then adds the following: "He who wishes to follow me: abandon all that you have, take up your cross and follow me." Now we return to your question. The Laws of God that you're referring to, the ones that tell you to worship on Saturdays (the Sabbath), are the Jewish laws. There are 613 Jewish laws. Many of them are very particular; they give the follower a very structured, routine life. They simply cannot be followed together with this shocking teaching of Jesus. For example, if you give away all that you have, then you cannot have a house, on which to put the mezuzah (commandment 21). Also, commandments 285-289 discuss different ways in which the Jewish court will kill various offenders. When Jesus saw one such practice (stoning), he told the executors, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." And as this irony set into the minds of the executors, they realized that they could not follow this commandment. Jesus is against the Jewish laws. He revealed them to be meaningless and sometimes even cruel. He responds to those who follow the external Jewish laws but ignore his commandment to love by saying, "Woe to you, blind scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside may become clean also." What did Jesus really say here? He said that the external laws of God and acts of reverence are nothing; it is the love inside that counts. He also said that we only follow God externally if we follow him internally-his commandment of love-as well. To answer your question: it does not matter.
