When did I ever say that the Sabbath is merely just a day? The poster was asking what day is the Sabbath, I quoted God as He clearly answers this question. The Sabbath God said is on the seventh day is MUCH more than a day just the tree of knowledge was MUCH more than a tree- it shows our allegiance to God and who we worship the God of Creation, Eze 20:20 Exo 20:11 Rev 14:7, the only God that has the power to sanctify us Eze 20:12 instead of following my own rules over the commandments of God that Jesus said in doing so one heart is far from Him and worships in vain. Mat 15:3-9 Mar 7:7-8 so its way more than a day, it shows faith and trust in God to believe and do what He asks. James 1:22
Everything is about Jesus, but not every day is holy. Only God can make a day holy, not man and God only made the seventh day Sabbath holy from the very beginning. Gen 2:1-3 All other days are working/labor days or common days, not holy days Exodus 20:9
This is what God says when we keep God's holy day as a common day
Eze 22:26 Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
How do you think God feels when we exalt a day God made as a working day to do labor and man recreates that and assigns it to God has His holy day in lieu the day God deemed holy in His very own Words that He wrote, and He spoke. Exodus 20:8-11 Isa 58:13 There is no commandment for Sunday keeping, there is for Sabbath-keeping Exodus 20:8-11 and commandment is just that, not something that is optional. Sunday is not sacred by God, not sanctified, blessed or made holy by God, God only did so with the seventh day Sabbath. Exo 20:8-11 Gen 2:1-3 The only day in all of God's Word where God says this- this is the Lord thy God speaking here...and who this argument really is with.
Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
Isa 58:13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
God does not change and the choice is up to us, do we follow man and their traditions or obey the commandments of God. Jesus in His own Words tells us which path to follow. Mark 7:7-8 Mat 15:3-9

Funny God said the Sabbath is His Sabbath, the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. Exodus 20:8-11, not the Sabbath of the Jews. We are in the NC and Jesus who is our example to follow kept the Sabbath Luke 4:16, John 15:10, His faithful followers kept the Sabbath according to the commandment Luke 23:56 and the apostles kept every Sabbath decades after the Cross Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:4. The apostles taught to keep the commandments of God 1 Cor 7:19 Jesus taught to keep the commandments of God and not break the least of them Mat 5:19-30, Mat 15:3-9 Mat 7:7-8 and the Sabbath isn't going anywhere for God's people as it will continue in heaven for eternity thus saith the Lord Isa 66:22-23 Perhaps I am not the one that needs to join the New Covenant! The everlasting covenant. Eze 20:20 as the Sabbath points to God the Creator Exo 20:11 Rev 14:7 there are many gods of this world, but none that have the power to Create and Sanctify Exe 20:12
That is NOT what Rev 22:12 says. Here is the verse: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
As to your fixation on the commandments of God, chances are you are in violation of one or the other. You must either obey all of the Law of Moses (613 commandments), or you must admit that your beliefs are contrary to the New Testament. You have no clue about the New Covenant and the finished work of Christ.

Jesus taught us how to live as He is our example, not just the example of Jews. 1 John 2:6 Heb 4:15 1 Peter 2:22-23
Do you really think Jesus came from heaven and taught only the Jews how to live and everyone else can just make up what they want?
No this is the great commission.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
No wonder the apostles kept every Sabbath decades after the cross Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:4 and taught the commandments of God 1 Cor 7:19, the same ones Jesus taught. Mat 5:19-30 Mat 7:7-8 as they will be kept faithfully by God's people until the end of time Rev 14:12 Rev 22:14 although the devil goes to war with the commandment keeping people Rev 12:17 guess we need to decide which side of the battle we are on.

My point was that Jesus' earthly ministry was directly to Jews. So the words He spoke reflected this. He wasn't teaching them what was entailed in the new covenant because it had yet to arrive.
The epistles reflect His teaching concerning the new covenant largely.
As the transition was being made practically from old to new, you still find many practices of the old. To do so now is to put new wine in old wineskins.

Sadly people get so caught up in this they miss they very teachings of Jesus and your response does not really address the scriptures in the post you are replying to. Jesus said heaven and earth would pass before one i or t from His law would pass therefore not to break or teach others to break the least of these commandments as it affects our status in heaven quoting from the Ten Commandments Mat 5:17-30 is heaven Old Covenant? Sadly many believe in Jesus, but do not believe in His teachings. Jesus warns us about this Mat 7:21-23 His teachings aren't meant for "other people" they are meant for us just like all of scripture 2 Tim 3:16
