Correct. The Sabbath belongs to the Jews. By observing the Sabbath, as laid out in Oral and Written Torah, we Jews are declaring the Kingship of our G-d, Who created the world.
1. Why does the Jewish God care about boys being circumcised? Why can't the foreskin be on?
2. Is God angry at non-Orthodox Jews for not practicing Judaism "correctly"?
3. Where does it specific say that the Sabbath is on Saturday? 7th day could be any other day of the week.
4. Why don't Jews follow God's order 100%? He tells you to stone people to death those who violate the Sabbath as an example. Yes, it's harsch but aren't religious Jews suppose to still follow?
1) Because it's a Sign between the Brit (Covenant) that Hashem made with with Avraham and if i can remember it says in Bere****(Genesis) when God made the Brit with Avraham and his future descendants that who ever does not under go Milah undergoes what is called Karet literally means cut off but in Judaism is understood to be premature death. Death at the hands of heaven
2) Yes Probably
3) You have a bit of a point there but at least observant Jews by abstaining from the 39 prohbited acts of Melachot and the work which is similar/related and an outcome of the 39 prohibted Melachot they are trying to do the Ratzon Hashem the will of the Almighty
4) Because the death penalty the four types of death for violation of certain Mitzvot can only be carried out by the Bet Din Ha Gadol the Sanhedrin of 71 judges who sit on the chamber of Hewn stone in the Temple and also the Sanhedrin of 23 Judges.Since there is no Temple and Sanhedrin of 71 Judges and also 23 Judges at this time such actions cannot be carried out.
Moreover there needs to be two or more witnesses witnessesing the perpretrator doing the act and the perpretrator needs to be given a warning before he is judged and executed by the Sanhedrin. So say a man was erecting a tent or building a house on Shabbat which is prohibited as Boneh (building) is regarded as a Melecha He would need to have Witneess witnessing hinm building and be issued a warning before even facing judgement by the Sanhedrin.

So the guy Moses had stoned for picking up sticks on HaShabbat, ignored the warning?...
The Jewish calendar has been in existence for those thousands of years. We go by the Jewish calendar. Today is the 1st of Elul, 5774 while ALSO being August 27, 2014. There are 7 days a week in the Hebrew calendar. In the international calendar in English, we have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc which are taken from the names of Nordic deities (Thursday = Thor's day). In the Hebrew calendar, the days of the week start with Yom Reeshone or first day (Sunday) through Yom Hasheeshee or 6th day (Friday) and ends with Shabbat (Saturday).
In addition:
Yom Rishon – meaning "first day" [corresponds to Sunday] (starting at preceding sunset of Saturday)
Yom Sheni – meaning "second day" [corresponds to Monday]
Yom Shlishi – meaning "third day" [corresponds to Tuesday]
Yom Reviʻi – meaning "fourth day" [corresponds to Wednesday]
Yom Chamishi – meaning "fifth day" [corresponds to Thursday]
Yom Shishi – meaning "sixth day" [corresponds to Friday]
Yom Shabbat – meaning "Sabbath-rest day" [corresponds to Saturday].
Back to your respond on nr 3. You are telling me Saturday is not included on the scriptures, then why was it chosen as the day of the Sabbath? According to the international calendar, Monday is the first day of the week. According to the Judeo-Christian calendar, Sunday is the first day of the week. Weekend = Saturday and Sunday. Not saying Christianity is correct, but shouldn't Sabbath be on Sunday also since Sunday is part of weekend and we return back to school/work on Monday as first day of the week.
