My understanding of the Sabbath is very much in line with Dr. Carson’s.

Mine runs along this line of reasoning found in the bible:

Romans 14:5-12King James Version (KJV)

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

¹⁰ But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

¹² So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Great text. There’s also

“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:”
—Colossians 2:16

[BipolarBob]

5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Everybodys favorite "I get to choose to do what I want" text. Also see Gal.4 where gentiles were being embroiled into the ceremonial laws (and ceremonial Sabbaths) which really didn't get them anywhere. Somewhat confusing then more so now that time has elapsed and present leaders are teaching their misconceptions onto unsuspecting parishioners. Don't let this happen to you. Read the Bible and let it persuade you.
