The pattern was ingrained in us to teach us the times of the Lord. 6 days man was to do his work. The 7th day man is to rest from that work. Man in his literal interpretation of this took it as I can work at my job and take a day of rest saturday. This is not what it meant. In the bible we learn that a "day" with the Lord is as 1000 years. Thus the commandment to rest must be based ON THE LORD'S day!
When Israel was tested in the wilderness, God said that on day 6 He would provide enough to last 2 days. Given that a day is 1000 years, we are NOW living in the day that God provided enough for all to rest from their labors. Not simply taking a day off from the job only to go back the next day, but to end servitude and toil permanently!
We are to discern this by observing that which is around us. Today we have enough to house, clothe and feed 13 billion people! We only have 7 billion. We have 1000's of extra cars, phones, houses, and everything else. Our sabbath was indeed made for us despite the trouble we see. We simply need to partake in it!

Those who worship Idols need the law...but a Christian needs the Spirit of God and Gods love and grace to overcome the lust of there flesh and covetousness...which is idolatry ...not the law....in fact the law increases the lust to covet! That's its job to make all see the sin that's in them...its not for the believer.
Whattttt 
it is not lawful what are you talking about it is sin not found in the new that was the point as VCO said the sabbath was not repeated in the new yet we know that the animal sex thing is wrong even though you can,t find it in the new

Again ALL things are lawful for me though not expedient. All means all! I like women, but if I did decide to have sex with an animal, I know the consequences that are involved with that decision. It's lawful for me to run across a busy highway buck naked and blindfolded too. But just like fondling my dog, that is not very profitable at all.
I understood why you asked the question. But just like beastiality, some men believe Saturday is special, some Sunday, some regard all literal days special, others no particular day. So is it with some who does have sex with animals. All of these literal things however, has its place in the grave! As I stated before, the true sabbath is a rest from all of these things.

Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what Yahweh says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying; Yahweh has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what Yahweh says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which please Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YAHWEH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahweh, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer..."
