“Christ” is the Greek word for “Messiah.” For a Jew to describe dates as “Before Christ” (B.C.) would be to acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah — which is something that, by definition, a Jew cannot do. It is not “evil” for Jews to reject that Jesus was “Christ.” So Jews say “B.C.E.”, basically because you Gentiles would have no idea what time period we were referring to if we used the correct, Biblically ordained calender (which defines this year as 5770 years since Creation).

Of course Jews are allowed to see the truth. There are a goodly number of Jews who recognize Jesus Christ as the true Messiah. They are called Messianic Jews for Yeshua.

Of course taking Jesus Christ out of the calendar yet leaving the date ranges that encompassed is evil...Jesus = God = Good that which works to take Jesus out of our lives is by simple definition evil...

Can you show me where the term BCE was created by Jews?
