I didn't "modernize" it into any form, I'm no legalist, I'm simply pointing out the context which you overlooked. Jesus said Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath, whether you rest on Saturday or Sunday or both, it gives you regular work-rest pattern that you can adhere to. God doesn't need rest, we humans do, it was supposed to be a blessing, the Pharisees turned it into a burden, don't you see that? If you don't wish to "obey it", go work 80 hours a week to death, nobody's stopping you.Taking pride in what? I think it's "weak" to take a Commandment, which is one of the Ten Commandments, and then modernize it to fit how you wish to "obey it." That's completely arbitrary. Someone else may wish to modernize the Commandment to mean something else.
After all, there was much more to obeying the Sabbath than just resting from an occupation. It was a recognition that human works are tainted, and that God required human work to stop one day out of the week to give the land rest from human sin. That's how I look at it.
It was also to show respect for the entire Law, with all 613 requirements. That's how I look at it. So what's it matter what you think is important? God no longer requires that Israel obey the Sabbath Law because sin has now been legally dealt with through Christ's death and resurrection. Your wishing, arbitrarily, to resurrect an old law and modernize it is purely your jaded view of Christian theology.
