"It is ‘Common Era’ and replaced AD. BCE stands for ‘Before Common Era’ and replaces BC."Seriously? Does it represent the same period as BC/AD?
If so, to what event does it attribute the significance of that period?

Of course he is beardless in this artwork. Didn’t you see the notation that it was sponsored by “King” Gillette, the inventor of the disposable razor blade?

If you were a adult male Jew at that time, you had a beard. Not necessarily true at all, particularly given the overwhelming Hellenic influences in Palestine at the time.

Yes, BCE/CE were created to replace BC/AD.
From what I understand CE was originally an abbreviation for ‘Christian Era’ but was changed to ‘Common Era’ so that the word ‘Christian’ would not need to be explained.
It’s a coverup and worse it’s a revisionist encroachment on Christian heritage.

The archaeologists estimate the 8.6-inch paten is from the fourth century C.E., and they suspect it was used to hold Eucharistic bread. The image shows Jesus in a philosopher's toga, along with two other — also beardless — male figures, whom researchers suspect are Peter and Paul, two of Jesus' apostles. All three of the men are depicted with halos. But, Dangit!, we KNOW that third one is JESUS!

This is assuming, of course, that the verse really applies to Jesus.
