It was a Jewish idea and since the author is Jewish it shouldn’t surprise. You and I can still use BC and AD however we want. He didn’t use the Hebrew calendar since we’d all be confused since right now in that calendar it’s the year 5779.
No, that’s not what is going on.
For example, if you go to Wikipedia and review an article with dates, ‘BCE’ is used.
It’s a bald attempt to change language and ignore Jesus Christ. ‘BC’ used to mean ‘before Christ’ and AD used to mean ‘Anno Domini’ [after Christ’s birth].
This is a cultural thing.
I appreciate your response. I will continue to use ‘BC’ and ‘AD’, just like I won’t use ‘ze’ and ‘zer’.
I’m with Jordan Peterson on this. Don’t let others change how you talk.
