[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

As I noted in post #69, the term Christ has a very specific meaning, The Anointed One. As far as Jews are considered, the current peiod of time is BC since they do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

This is your argument now, but at the beginning of the thread you said...

The use of BCE and CE provides a common measure.

So which is it? I believe you realized that you had lost the "common measure" argument and allowed your argument to change to the "it's offensive" argument. If that's your case, fine, but I want to note the shift in this position.

Uh, no. If you review the thread you will see my first post, #15 stated

"Keep in mind that archaeology is an international discipline. For many of the people doing this research, Jesus is not the Christ and not their Lord. Would you expect the Jews working with Israeli antiquities to use such terminology? Do you object to physicists and chemists using the metric system?"
