Agreed. Nobody needs to be offended when others use this BCE/CE instead of BC/AD. Offense is really a tool of Satan.
Look, we can still use BC/AD and I plan to do just that. If others want to use BCE/CE that’s up to them. It’s supposedly the same time-wise, just a difference in leaving out Christ which sooner or later the world does anyway. And if Christians and Christianity Today choose to use it, well I guess that’s up to them.
Let’s be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. As far as we know, at least so far, BCE/CE does not change the BC/AD time-frames, so at least for now, confusion is limited. Is Satan behind this? Most likely, but he is also behind believers being too easily offended because he wants to plant a root of bitterness in them. Don’t let Satan do that.
We can name the darkness, but let’s not curse the darkness. Let’s keep looking to Jesus and let our light shine.
