Is Sunday the end of the week or the beginning of the week?

Question

My daughter and I have an on-going arguement about this.

Answer 1

depends on your view

like half-glass full or empty kind-a-thing

Answer 2

Sunday is the beginning of the week! The Sabbath--called "Saturday"--is the END of the week...Look on any calender and see that Sunday is the first day! MEN changed the day of worship to Sunday--NOT GOD! Sunday was always the questionable day of "Sun" worship! Hence the term "SUN-DAY"! NOWHERE in Scripture is Sunday commanded! The seventh day Sabbath IS! Now,I am NOT "jewish","seventh day",or "adventist"...The TRUTH is just that..TRUTH. Men have no power to change what GOD has not! The only day that GOD gave to worship and set His people apart for blessing and identity as HIS is the seventh day. Don't trust me----LOOK IT UP and believe GOD!--So few really do.

Answer 6

Hello. - In my opinion - Perhaps it depends on one's perspective of how the week is viewed. Sunday may be the end of the week viewed by one person, another person may view Sunday as the beginning of the week.

Have a nice day. :)

Answer 7

It depends on the culture and situation.... So, you might look up a specific culture and see what it says, or for instance, it's at the end of the business week but at the beginning of the American calendar week.
FYI- the calendar year also varies, with new year's being on different dates.

Answer 10

Sunday (Day of the Sun), as the name of the first day of the week, is derived from Egyptian astrology. The seven planets, known to us as Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, each had an hour of the day assigned to them, and the planet which was regent during the first hour of any day of the week gave its name to that day. During the first and second century the week of seven days was introduced into Rome from Egypt, and the Roman names of the planets were given to each successive day. The Teutonic (German) nations seem to have adopted the week as a division of time from the Romans, but they changed the Roman names into those of corresponding Teutonic deities. Hence the dies Solis became Sunday (German, Sonntag). Sunday was the first day of the week according to the Jewish method of reckoning, but for Christians it began to take the place of the Jewish Sabbath in Apostolic times as the day set apart for the public and solemn worship of God. The practice of meeting together on the first day of the week for the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice is indicated in Acts, 20:7; I Cor. 14:2; in Rev, 1:10, it is called the Lord's day. In the Didache (xiv) the injunction is given: "On the Lord's Day come together and break bread. And give thanks (offer the Eucharist), after confessing your sins that your sacrifice may be pure". St. Ignatius (Ep. ad Magnes. ix) speaks of Christians as "no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord's Day, on which also Our Life rose again". In the Epistle of Barnabas (xv) we read: "Wherefore, also, we keep the eight day (i. e. the first of the week) with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead".
