Yes- you are mistaken.
In Jewish custom, “days” start at sunset. It is a sunset to sunrise , not sunrise to sunset.
Understanding the context of the commandments makes a huge difference. That is why we are to learn the ancient ways and seek that ancient understanding. The Sabbath starts at sunset on Friday.
I believe that people can worship either day, but we are commanded to observe the Sabbath, and for a very, very good reason. The placement is important and the context, as always is for a very, very good reason.
The Lord does not just throw things around willy nilly. You can still go to church on Sunday and worship and sing.. (from my understanding) but to observe a Sabbath on the first day of the week is profound.
I hope you will try it and see for yourself, because that is really the only way to understand. :)
Huh?? My English translation of Bereshith in chapter 1 verse 5 it says "and the evening and the morning were the first day" (until the next sunset, that is). Then there are 5 more yoms=24-hour days until the last sundown of this cycle. The next sundown will begin the first day of the next week=heptad=shabua of days.
Did that not come across in what I said? I must not have communicated clearly, or else my text was not read with that obvious meaning in view. Sunday is not Shabbas=Sabbath, as some call it (wrongly). Therefore, Shabbas is the seventh yom (I did use "yom" before, didn't I) .
And ina secular Gentile's world, the 24-hour day does not begin at sunup, it begins at 12:00 AM midnight. Although sometimes it is said of sunup, "the day is come"; and that saying is the same for either system. And, not being nosy, but your knowledge of this comes from ... what?
