That's not the way it came across to myself at all.
Did he say it was not a law to enjoy the Sabbath? No, all he did was pose a question. As I understood his approach to be, it was meant as 'food for thought' with himself (I must assume) rather favoring the position that the Sabbath be intended by God for man to enjoy.
For anyone to assume differently, judging from what the man did say, one must engage in a form of mind-reading and end up attributing motive to him -- which simply is not there.
Yet you seemed to have forced myself into attributing motive also, though I dare say that attributing positive motives, like unto giving a person benefit of doubt, rather than a deliberate with-holding of that benefit and instead a reversal of such towards accusation, is allowable enough, while accusation based upon mind-reading and attributing motive is frowned upon, in this FR forum.
Returning to question of Sabbath --- the one known in the NT as Jesus pointed out that the Sabbath was made for man, rather than man made for the Sabbath (to serve it as duty).
Do you have any problem with that ?

You caught from my posts that I’m Jewish right? Is that the L-rd’s day? I have no opinion on “the one known in the NT as...”
At the risk of inferring for you and others that we relegate Shabbos to an institution or tradition, I’ll quote a couple of sayings about Shabbos (Shabbat, I’m sure you are ambidextrous with the final syllable)
“More than the Jews have kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept the Jews” (I don’t know the originator)
“If the Jews do not keep the Sabbath, the gentiles will make Havdalah (the ceremony marking the end/separation of Shabbos and the beginning of the mundane week.)
We keep the Sabbath because, “Remember my Sabbath to keep it holy.” (Ex 20:8)
