You are mistaken in that you continue to split divine commands into moral and non moral categories. You are mistaken because you assume I believe laws create moral obligation "just because God said to do it."
I spent one (maybe 2?) paragraphs explaining moral obligation does not derive from the arbitrary will of God (or, "just because God said so".)
The 4th commandment is moral law because all law is moral law. Not because "God said so" but because law governing human behaviour and choices must by definition be moral law.
