oh...okNot hostile just frustrated.
ummm yes..."evening, dark, tonight" are distinct from the following day because morning begins the new day...see genesisJust because it says 'The following day' does not mean
ummm...no...the light is called day which was the first day the same day it was created but numbered at its conclusion...the dawn of the following daythe day starts at sun rise because as God says in Genesis He called the light day and therefore it is the following day,
The numbering occurs after completion...just like your birthday...the year lived first then numbered...just like an odometer...the distance travelled first then counted...
day came after there was light created after there was darkness not called night but darkness...darkness after light was created was called nightbecause day comes after night.
right...day comes after light was created...then it became evening and then night and then morning--the first day or day oneNot day comes after yesterday!
oh you do know the verse...its sequence...apply it pleaseYou are confusing night and day with tomorrow and yesterday but this is because of:
Genesis 1
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
sure we can...after it becomes evening you with your applied reckoning should call it the next day already...despite it being dark...so according to you they went across at night and later the same day it was discovered there was only one boat...however John writes "the following day" not "the following day light" or "light of day" or "same day during light"Because God calls the light day and the 24 hour period also day, means we can't use verses like John 6:16-25 to determine when a day begins, and why the verses I gave, i.e. 'evening to evening' are the verses to use along with:
Nehemiah 13:19
So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
"This is the proof that the Sabbath starts at sunset and not day break. As soon as it turns dark, the gates are shut. It did not say "as soon as day break shut the gate."
Now does that make sense to you?
"The text in question, verse 19, immediately follows and reveals Nehemiah‟s plan of action: close the gates of Jerusalem the night before so that none of these merchants could come in during the night, set up stalls, and sell on the Sabbath. Notice that this verse is not saying that the Sabbath started at sunset. It refers to the period of darkness (which falls after sunset) as coming before the Sabbath. As the darkness was beginning to gather (so clearly this was after sunset), Nehemiah commanded them to shut the gates."

The darkness before the Sabbath is not Sabbath...
If you wish to reckon the darkness before the Sabbath as Sabbath it would then NOT be written this way...
Nehemiah 13:19? “So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath.” (NKJV)
It should be written "as it began to be Sabbath" which would then be understood as getting dark...if you wish to insist on Jewish tradition
But it is not...
There was Light it was called day...was called good...then it finally became evening...then morning--the first day
You cant have an evening without light...diminishing light...
