Every time you write the date you affirm Jesus Christ.?

Question

Do you agree? Everyone all over the world whether they are a believer or not. I am not trying to be a know it all, but if BC stands for Before Christ, then you must admit that his birth changed the history, the world for that matter!!!!!

You may say BCE now, but for over 2000 years it has been BC.

Answer 1

You're right. I agree. And of course His Birth changed history and the entire world forever -- God had promised to send the Messiah, to send a Saviour, to send an atonement... and He did, He sent Himself, born into human flesh to live amongst us and die for us, and so to save all humankind from eternal death.

If that wouldn't have changed history and the world, nothing would or ever will !!!

Answer 2

No, as has been stated many times on here, the majority of educated people use the term BCE (before common era).
I am also not agreeing that "In God We Trust" whenever I use money.
Everytime you say Wednesday, are you affirming Odin's existence?

Edit- your question was "Every time you write the date you affirm Jesus Christ?". The majority of people here answered that no, they do not because they use the term B.C.E.
It doesn't matter what people did for 2,000 years anymore than it matters that people believed the Earth was flat.
Believing something doesn't make it true.

Answer 3

This is why BCE is becoming more acceptable.

Edit: Indeed. It was BC for 2000 years or so. We also said that the Earth was flat and that if a man travelled over 60mph his head would explode. What's your point? That nothing should ever change despite the evidence?

Answer 4

The terms are now BCE and CE. They replaced BC and AD. The C stands for Common, not Christ.

Answer 5

"very few scholars and historians permit you to grasp that Jesus did no longer exist. i know this using fact a history professor instructed me that there is unarguable evidence for Jesus' existence, and because that's straightforward information." so which you spoke to a unmarried history professor, and consequently sense shield in making a generalized fact alongside with this? i do no longer deny that a guy, upon whom the Jesus parables are based, existed. maximum myths have some foundation extremely. in spite of if, your argument is vulnerable; the reason that those parts of history, pointed out by utilising minuscule quantities of evidence, are conventional is with the help of the fact that's corroborated in different techniques. outdoors of the writings of the Bible, there are only non-modern-day (after-the-actuality) mentions of 'the Christos'.

Answer 6

It's BCE now for Before Common Era. And all it does is affirms the life of a doctor (Aloysius Lilius) who created the Gregorian calendar that we use now. It was named after Pope Gregory XIII in1582.

Answer 7

Nowdays, scholars usually say "BCE" --- before common era. It's a convention. For accurate timing of ancient astronomical events, "Julian Days" are used.

Even within the context of the Jesus myth, the dates of his birth and death have uncertainties of a few years.

Answer 8

It's BCE and it stands for stands for Before Common Era.
CE is Common Era.

Sun Day, Moon Day, Tiu's Day, Woden's Day, Thor's Day, Freya's Day, Saturn's Day...look a bit familiar? Sure you may use Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday NOW, but......


Sorry, you lose; but we have a nice consolation prize for you.

Answer 9

What would you have us do? Select a moments date from our particular world view and use that one? That would get a bit confusing don't you think? Better to use a date we can all agree on. I don't mind if it's Jesus' birth, even if I'm not Christian.

Alternatively, we could use 198 A.D. (After Darwin). What? What?

Answer 10

We use BCE now - Before Common Era

It doesn't matter what it was up until now. Now it's different.
