I did go to the site you linked to...I think it is a very far stretch to say that that is God’s calendar in the context we were discussing on this thread...

I was not aware that Jewish folks think it is sacrilegious to spell out God. Thanks for pointing that out. In my faith, there is no problem with it...as you can see.

I don’t think the Jewish scholars had much to do with taking Jesus Christ out of the long, long designation describing the modern era. If it were Jewish involvement then perhaps they would have changed the dates of the “Common Era” to be something other than the general birth of Jesus/death of Jesus. I think it is far more likely that the power behind the evil is from atheists. But, I really do not know who started it.

If you had natural curiosity, it would take little effort to see that portion of Exodus is the seed.

FWIW, the dating concept from (slightly before) Biblical date of Creation is called “Anno Mundi” and was used by Christians until pagan Roman emporers decided they wanted to be immortalized in the calendar.

Orthodox Christians (and Roman Christians until they got eaten by lions) still use a parallel non-pagan dating system known as “Etos Kosmou.”
