Anything Christian was unwelcome? I think plenty of Jews have accepted Christian concepts and ideas. Accepting that God had a son is perhaps a bit of a stretch for most Jews, so they're not going to refer to "Domini." You seem to be suggesting that there's some malicious intent in their use of BCE/CE.

I understand that it is the only book in the bible that does not mention the name of the Lord. ...except in 5 acrostics.
Like Esther's name means "hidden", the Lord's name is also hidden in the book, just as He is hidden in the background, unseen, but still powerfully working for His people.

Oh I would. They can live with AD and BC and have no need to change history to suit their insecurity.
It's not only a slam, it's revisionism.

I really think you have some other purpose in belaboring this. Please excogitate further, if you will.

Anyone else see "One Night with the King"? We thought it was pretty good.

'Anyone else see "One Night with the King"? We thought it was pretty good.'
It was a good movie, but sure did detract greatly from the story.
My main issue with it was that they took the liberty of making the former queen (Vashti) and Esther both anti-war peace activists.
Unless I overlooked it, they also did not show both occasions of Esther having the King and Haman to dinner.
They changed the part of Haman begging for his life, and made it as though he were mocking her instead.
It was a good "movie", but I certainly would not recommend it to anyone who wants the real low down.
