I’m not a scholar, however, any communication that replaces the traditional B.C. (before Christ) with B.C.E. (before current era) is suspiciously P.C(politically correct) to me.

The article is from an Israeli paper -- Jews were using CE and BCE long before political correctness was ever heard of.

Academics have been using BCE instead of BC since at least the 1960s. “Before the Common Era” is intended a) to provide a name for that era that is acceptable to all users of the Gregorian calendar, who include adherents of most religions of the world, and b) to reflect the fact that it is a near certainty that Christ was NOT born in either the year 1 AD or the year 1 BC.

I suspect it has something to do with the Jews not recognizing their Messiah and the crusaders holding them left 1000 years after the fact accountable for Christ death

Do you know how blasphemous and ignorant anno domini is?

It implies that YHvH was born in 0 AD.

We all know YHvH created the universe and our time and space continuum.

The fearful Day of YHvH will come at His second coming.
