The years mark the time in reference to the Birth of Jesus Christ!

I will use the Gregorian calendar, but I will not refer to Jesus as "Christ". You have a choice: BCE or BJ (before Jesus).

Jesus was known as "Jesus, The Christ" to be most accurate.

You do not have to choose to believe it, but it is still fact that the nomenclature for marking years in the western world for 2 thousand years was Anno Dommini (A.D.) "Year of God" that began with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth - the Christ. and marking years before that was called BC Before Christ.

That is HISTORICAL FACT - or are you in favor of the communist ideologies of erasing and revising of history?

Maybe you only have problems with titles? Do you also have problems with the title: Mister, Sir, President, etc?

"The Christ" is Jesus' Title. No?

Sorry, no, the BJ era started in 1992.
