1 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | Hank | 100521 | ||
Jehonadab - Why do you use B.C.E. instead of B.C. and C.E. instead of A.D.? I KNOW what the abbreviations stand for. I'm just curious why you use them. Something to do with your view of Christ perhaps? --Hank | ||||||
2 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | Jehonadab | 100611 | ||
This stands for Before the Common (Christian) Era. In the B.C.-A.D. system of dating, events that occurred before the traditional time of Jesus' birth are designated "B.C." years (before Christ); those that took place after are labeled "A.D." years (Anno Domini-"in the year of our Lord.") However, some informed scholars prefer to use the secular designations "B.C.E." (before our Common Era) and "C.E." (of our Common Era.) |

Jehonadab "However, some informed scholars prefer to use the secular designations "B.C.E." (before our Common Era) and "C.E." (of our Common Era.)" Yes they do to their shame! This is another way of sanitizing our society removing all reference to Jesus out of it. First it was BC and AD now it is "One Nation Under GOD". I think it stinks and I would never use BCE or CE particularly on a Christian forum. EdB |
