We already agree that our calendar is wrong, starting late by anywhere from 2 to 16 years, depending on who's doing the reckoning, and further in error because of the absence of a year zero.
The more fundamental point is that God did not intend us to mark His years by the birth of Jesus.
If He had intended this we would have a Biblical fixing of the date.
Further, the day of Jesus' birth is unremarkable as all men are born.
However, very few return from the dead, that event is remarkable, and it is the defining moment of Christianity, the very moment of proof that his sacrifice was not in vain. And the Bible gives a precise reference for when this happened!
Clearly this was the date the calendar was supposed to start!
For extra points, this makes our calendar off by anywhere from 18 to 31 years. That makes this something like Holy Year 1990 to Holy Year 1977, giving us anywhere from 10 to 23 years to get our affairs in order before the real end of the millennium...
I’m having a difficult enough time dealing with the fact we have less than a week to live and you’re babbling on about some disparity in the calender. Give me a break for goodness sake.
LOL!
Seeing as how I am 67 already in 18 to 31 years I probably will have slipped away or be in a condition where I no longer care, I can handle this.
