You are right...when people are DISobedient to the Word of God they can not move on to spiritual understanding and are stuck in old ways that keep them prisoners. Jesus has opened the prison gates but unbelief/disobedience stops them from walking out. It takes a lot of BELIEF/courage to walk away from your own reasoning and TRUST IN THE LORD (of the Sabbath).

That was the 613 Mosaic Laws.
It is the same God in both the Old and New Testaments. The law of Moses was the Jewish secular law. The law of the land.
It is the same in America, the Ten Commandments are there for all to see, these are GOD'S commandments, but there are hundreds of people on death row waiting to be executed, because AMERICAN LAW demands the death sentence.

your mother did not cut off your hands and throw you in prison when you took a cookie from the jar before dinner.
that doesn't mean it was good or okay to spoil your appetite.
you were not put to death for tracking mud into the kitchen because you didn't clean your shoes.
that doesn't mean it was fine to disrespect the house.
no one demanded you pay a fine when you neglected to make your bed and fold your clothes, or put away your dishes.
that doesn't make it good to leave a mess.
it means you are a son, not a slave or a stranger. that you are treated with grace, not stern indifference and merciless judgement.
even my cats understand this - i don't shoot them as though they are wild beasts if they scratch me, but they don't have the impression that it'd be okay to attack me. they understand that they are welcomed into my family, and that being treated with kindness doesn't change bad behaviour from unacceptable into acceptable.

God does love the sinner you and me....didn't He sacrifice His only begotten beloved Son for us ? but He CAN NOT save us in our sins....we MUST change.
The OT law shows us our sins BECAUSE we don't line up with them, because we don't keep them they bring death. If we were to start obey them they would reverse and bring NEW LIFE...with GOD's help !
We all know that...so what stops people turning and becoming obedient ? selfwill ! they can't let go of it! following a false christ will deceive them unto death.

if you catch a flu, because a living creature - a virus - is attacking your body, do you not take medicine to destroy that thing that is harming your body? so you kill. is it evil for you to protect and preserve your own life?
what if God is doing the same thing for His people?
in Numbers 15 a man is found gathering wood on the sabbath. who is this man?
what happened in Numbers 14? same page of your Bible! not unconnected.
why must he be put to death, and why do all the people have to take part?

The trouble is, Satan is the god of this world, we can see wickedness all around us, in the meantime God has provided a way of escape for all who believe and follow him in righteousness, until such time as Satan is destroyed.
If Satan is a lion, who is JUDAH?
