[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3583728, member: 76194"]I think BCE and CE should be used, and I'm a believer. Simply put, it makes more sense anyway as we now know that Jesus was never born on 1CE, but probably around 4-8 BCE. I should also add that BCE and CE have been around since the 18th Century, but never gained wide popularity until recent times. But there were historians and others using those terms long ago...and society did not collapse because of it. At any rate, BCE, and CE, are now the accepted ways to list dates amongst history professionals, and just like you wouldn't use outdated jargon in any other field, why not use the current accepted jargon in this academic field? Besides, you think God really cares whether you use BCE or BC, or CE instead of AD?
