The evening part of the first day of the week would be Monday morning, right?Exactly.
So what is the evening part of the first day, if the evening part of the seventh day is Friday evening.
No, the days starts in the evenings. Saturday the 7th day- the evening part is Friday evening and ends at sundown on the first day Saturday evening (Sunday). The evening part of the first day (Sunday) is Saturday evening.The evening part of the first day of the week would be Tuesday morning, right?
If Friday evening is the beginning of the sabbath, then Monday evening is Tuesday morning the first part.

My understanding is that it begins at sunset at the end of the previous day.When does the Sabbath start according to scripture?
How are you defining evening, the time during when the sun starts going down from noon until sunset, or the time between sunset and the end of dusk, or the first half of a calendar day?Or the evening part of the seventh day.
What happened to Sunday?
That's correct, if by evening you mean the night period of a calendar day. But in your post #41, you wrote "The evening part of the first day of the week [Sunday] would be Tuesday morning". How do you jump from Sunday to Tuesday?Ok say it is the first day of the week, Sunday today. Now, comes evening so what do we have now? We have the beginning of Monday because it starts in the evening,
That's correct, if by evening you mean the night period of a calendar day. But in your post #41, you wrote "The evening part of the first day of the week [Sunday] would be Tuesday morning". How do you jump from Sunday to Tuesday?
No, not if the term "evening" refers to the first half of a calendar day.
The Jewish and Eastern Orthodox LITURGICAL day begins at sunset with the Vespers service. I believe the Oriental Orthodox church also follows this pattern. Not sure if Catholics follow that.How can that be? Evening has meant the time of dusk and then night and it's the same everyday.
You are overthinking this.
Are you saying that a new calendar day doesn't begin at sunset?
Yes that was the premise. Like the secular world sees it. But we know that the day goes from sunset to sunset.
Now I'm really confused. First you say that the new calendar day doesn't start at sunset and 2 sentences later you say that it does.
First let me say apologies to tonychanyt for being so far off from his OP.It can be confusing when the secular world does not do things the same way God does. In the secular world the new day technically starts at midnight. Practically, for people, it begins when we wake up in the morning. Spiritually the calandar day should start at sunset and continue until the next sunset.
First let me say apologies to tonychanyt for being so far off from his OP.
And an apology to you, I misread your post. I see that you were saying that the secular world doesn't start a calendar day at sunset and not that you were saying that. You were saying that the calendar day goes from sunset to sunset.
Now then, back to my question; You wrote that "The evening part of the first day of the week [Sunday] would be Monday morning..."
You also wrote that evening has meant the time of dusk and then night.
Since dusk starts after sunset, how can it be any part of the previous calendar day? And for that matter, how does Monday, the 2nd day of the week, come into this?
So you're referring to a midnight to midnight calendar day as well as to the second night time of the calendar day.I was writing like how people think. They say today is Monday anda nice day but this evening it will rain.
I thought you were talking about a midnight to midnight calendar day and as such it wouldn't be tomorrow morning but rather the first night time of tomorrow.Ok so technically it will not be tonight it will be tomorrow morning. because the day starts at sunset. Right?
Apostle John mentioned "first day" in John 20:
This message originated with the Father, who gave it to Christ;Later, the same John also mentioned "Lord's Day" in Revelation 1:
Never in the bible that I know of. Is there any verse that tell us to keepWas the first day of the week also called the Lord's Day?
NT alone does not say that explicitly.
I think as shown above it was not any specific day of the week.I think the Lord's Day was more likely the first day of the week than any other day of the week.
