GGG Ping.

I used to subscribe to Biblical Archaeology Magazine and I think it was this guy that was always 'fussing' with someone in that magazine.

The article lost me at B.C.E

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Likened to a “lightening rod” by the journal Science (2007), Prof. Finkelstein is famous for his unconventional way of interpreting biblical history: he puts emphasis on the days of the biblical authors in the 7th century B.C.E. and theorizes that ancient rulers such as David and Solomon, who lived centuries earlier, were “tribal chieftains ruling from a small hill town, with a modest palace and royal shrine.”

God’s Word says that Solomon was the wealthiest and wisest ruler EVER? I believe God.

B.C.E.= Before Common Era =BC

C.E.= Common Era or A.D.

2012...it’s all over...Jericho style...good thing is...no more libs.

[DManA]

Just read it as Before the Christian Era.

[SkyPilot]

We know what the terms mean - they are just PC garbage.

BCE

Baptist Christian Era ping

Exactly...seems like these days the PC Police will do anything to institutionalize secularism...Sad.

Just read it as Before the Christian Era.

LOL

That's what I do too - they can't stop me, so ha ha on them

I do, however, follow the PC rule not to call the judhardists "terrorists" - I call them barbarians.

OK, I am curious, what’s gonna happen in 2012?

[aimhigh]

B.C.E.= Before Common Era =BC

I know what it means, that's why it lost my interest.

[Smokin' Joe]

The Mayans get new calendars in the mail asking for a donation to their favorite charities?

[WileyPink]

Well, if you listen to THE Bible Answerman, all of this has already happened and everything else is symbolic anyway. Of course...he is right about everything. :^)

[Hornet19]

I agree with you. Using the PC terms such as B.C.E. tells me there is a decided slant to the rest of the verbage. I just move on.

[freepertoo]

NOT! :-D Hank H (can never spell his last name) is so dead on accurate when it comes to cults...and so dead wrong about so much else! He’s also rude.

WHEW! I'm not the only one that thinks so!
