CE and BCE?

What exactly determine the ERA? What is the dividing line between Current Era and Before Current Era?

YOU GUESSED IT= THE DEATH OF CHRIST

So why not dispense with this bullshit and call it what it really is? BC and AD?

THE DEATH OF CHRIST

I thought it was the Birth of Christ. The Incarnation. The Death of Christ is estimated at 33 AD.

CE and BCE vs BC and AD have always been a thorn on the side of certain political interests. It’s common knowledge that this two historical eras have always been interchangeable.

His birth is the dividing line. The calculation may be off by a couple or three years, scholars cannot agree, but His death and resurrection occurred around AD (or CE, the Common Era) 33.

CE => Christian Era
BCE => Before Christian Era.

Rub it in. Christ defines time.

I’ve been translating CE as “Christian Era” and BCE as “Before Christian Era” at the college where I work; much to the annoyance of my “colleagues.”

If one is Jewish, and therefore does not believe in the Deity known as Jesus, BC and AD have no meaning, especially AD, as Jesus is not our lord, therefore BCE and CE - Before the common era and common era.
