The word Christ in reference to one whom Jews do not accept as the messiah is the main problem for most Jews and that is the reason for the different terminology.

So, what do use? Do you use CE and BCE or the Jewish calendar. It's a pertinent question to ask because you seem to advocate the replacement of BC and AD for BCE and CE, while you preference is for the jewish calendar.

The Jewish calendar has none of these.
here is a good explanation of the Jewish calendar.....

as far as my prefrence, I live in the USA and there is only 1 calendar here and that is what I use. I just choose to not refer to Jesus as "Christ" because it goes against what I believe in. I posted earlier that if I was Christian I would use BC/AD but because of my faith I do not. An example would be 2004 A.D.M.(Mohammed) how would that make you feel? (Not that I equate Jesus whom I look upon as a righteous man, a rabbi and a scholar as the same as Mohammed), but I do not see either as more than mortal. Please do not be angry about my example there is no equating the 2
