      Before Christ , After Death, is an over simplification. BC turned to AD after Luke 2:41-47... The Almond tree harvest gives us accuracy. So late January to beginning of March when it likely turned. Information from the One True Teacher, Christ, Ecclesiastes. He did it... Born Wednesday February 22 12 BC, (Magi December 25 11BC) crucified Saturday February 14 22 AD. John 10:22, numbers 9:11. Valentine's Day John 3:16&32. Ascending with help from Revelation Saturday April fourth. After 6pm returning from the mount of Olives, Sabbath, first Sunday in April, Pentecost not the resurrection.

      Once again, AD began likely in March after Christ's 13th birthday. It was when he was with the elders when 12, a month before his birthday. February 22. Born Wednesday February 22 12 BC. Exodus 25:33, Numbers 17, John 10:22 Winter, the almond buds for birth, blossoms for crucifixion. Ecclesiastes 12:5, Numbers 9:11. John 3:16 Valentine's Day Saturday 22ad. Ascending before first Sunday in April which is Pentecost. (Revelation)

      First off I quote no one. Secondly, what's the big idea with authorship. Psalms , Proverbs, Song of Songs , Isaiah, are much Greek. New Testament. Why would men in the church hold fast to the lie. The lie that Ecclesiastes the wise is Solomon. So uneducated. I did not teach myself, Ecclesiastes taught me everything I asked of him. Everything is backed up, bulletproof. Who has read the Bible when teach what not to, when manipulate the masses, when believe in a lie. Adam wasn't there on the 6th day, he was Eight. 6th before ice age, 8 Adam is after when a huge dust storm killed 9O% of all mankind. With Eve, scientists agree for a homosapien, would need a womb. The rib bone and marrow hollowed into an egg. Adam's deep sleep kept it warm while the yoke grew inside. Boom, the first true homosapien. Mother of every race. Crater in Arizona was a tree, see roots on Google maps. Devil's Tower. Tree. Herod's temple is not fiction. The birth is not in Matthew, there's another. Born Wednesday February 22 12 BC. Quinarius elected Consul, first census. Leap year. The Magi wouldn't arrived for almost two years from the East, one year ten months three day travel December 25 11 BC. Remains of children in Herod's temple. Fled to Marmorica Egypt. Till 4 bc death of Herod. Our holidays are proof, Easter is Pentecost, not the resurrection, Christmas is Magi not the birth. Valentine's day John 3:16 is the crucifixion. John 10:22 it was winter. Almond tree blossoms around twelve days late. How many have missed, or just put no thought into it at all. You read nothing.

    Thank you so much!!! You are an excellent teacher to be so lucid in less than 5 minutes. I have often wondered why authors would say 538 BC to 332 BC and now I understand it's because of the counting down to Jesus' birth.
    Using the number line was an excellent choice to help with processing the information. I understand that when writing the year now the correct thing is to put AD before the year as oppose to the years we indicate before Christ: although I see from the comments some of your viewers did not get that.... so it is
    332 BC and
    AD 2020

He was assuming I was teaching my children at home. He was a truthful man and I thank God for him. I think I dropped his jaw though when I asked him what about the children being taught ce who does not have parents to show them Truth. He told me he thought that would something I take on.

      This whole thing is not about people getting the dates in time wrong, they're getting the terms wrong because it doesn't make any sense that 1960 is part of the 50s since.... it's not a number related to 50 (even if historical dates are not related to mathematics they still need to make sense because they use numbers too) So because of that the correct term is that "1960 was the last year in the 6th decade of the 20th century/196th decade" and 1960 not in the 50's (1950-1959) but also doesn't mean it's in the 197th decade (1961-1970) (even if no year zero exists and AD 1-9 was only 9 years/numbers 1-9 are related to 0 so it doesn't mean the number exist because of in here it's just all related to that).
      When people say that this century (the 21st century is I think you're talking about) started in 2000 yes they are wrong because it started in 2001 but because that's an historian term for a century which starts at year AD 1 and being that means that in 2000 a century did start but it wasn't the 21st century that started that year it was the 2000's century. Now before you come at me and say "well AD 1-AD 99 wasn't a century so it doesn't count there's no such thing as a 2000's century" let me ask you this how many times in anno domini had this happened? The answer is only ONCE not two times, or three times or even ten it's just ONE TIME. So because of that every 100 years after AD 99 was a century. Only AD 1- AD 99 are exceptions to this rule because that only happened ONCE and are forgiving because of no year zero.
      And the main rule of this term is NOT to be divisible by year zero or any year for that matter, the rule is that if a number or group of numbers is related to a another number and rolls over then it's a new century it doesn't matter if the first 99 years of AD wasn't a century because that only happened ONE time and the numbers were related to the nonexistent year 0 and just be called a period. And this is called the popular culture term which has the 2000's century which is a century which in itself only had a 99 year period ONCE. The same thing also apply's to decades too. So it does NOT mean this is the only way to measure thing's because if you want to, just use the historian term where all the years are being divisible by the year AD 1.
      So because of this which term is correct well the popular culture one is kinda correct since it's main focus is on number being related to the group of group of numbers (or years in this case even if they didn't exist) and if they had only had 9 or 99 years are just exceptions because they only happened ONCE and everything else after that was 10, 100 years, but at the same time the historian term is also kinda correct because it helps give the first "periods" a full decade/century with all the years trying to be divisible by AD 1. So it's not the fact that people are getting the years wrong they're just getting the terms wrong and if you hear that historians use that then what because they're historians so they of course they use the 1-10 thing and not the 0-9 thing (but they may use it if they're talking about public's perception of it and not them).
      If you feel confused by all this then that's okay because this whole calendar and calendar system is confusing and wack because it's human made and made thousands of years ago but it's okay. Long story short both the public term and the historian term are both right so it's just a matter of opinion at this point. If you think the decade (203rd decade) doesn't start until 2021 that's fine. I think it (the 2020s) started in 2020 but it's doesn't mean i'm wrong because of what the rules say in this and because it's my opinion. So let's just be nice with each other, know that people can be dumb something's and that's okay have some good opinions and thoughts and have a nice day thanks.

    It is fascinating to point out that even if you use BCE and CE, the beginning of the "common era" starts with the birth of Christ. Otherwise it could have been just one continuous timeline. The event of Christ's birth still separates the two timelines.
    Jesus is a historical person whether you are religious or not and he is mentioned in both Scripture and secular ancient historians, so you could still call it B.C. and A.D. even if you have some sort of "problem" with Jesus.
    It just shows how powerful and significant Jesus' impact was on the world, and still is today.

      ignore the junk . Just think of BC as an Integer(year) on the Left side of Integer 0 . and AD as an Integer(year) on the Right side of 0 .
      a very simple number line , time line . Very basic .
      when someone says Egypt 5,000 years ago , we know that this is
      2020 years to get to Zero , then 2,980 more years to get to a Total of 5,000 years in the past . which someone else might have named as 2,980 BC .
      or
      someone might have said 3,000 BC . and we know that 3,000 is on the left side of Integer 0 . thus , 2,020 + 3,000 is 5,020 years ago .
      and , since we have Integer 0 , we need to watchout for "Fench Post" errors ,
      which can occur in computer programing . The First Century on the Right side of 0 , are the years 0 to 99 ( 100 orbits )
      the 19th Century are the years 1800 to 1899 ( 100 orbits )
      study Iterations of a "for" Loop in computer programing to read about "Fench Post" errors in getting the correct count of Iterations to perform .

    Your video is most interesting; unfortunately, it does not answer to something that has puzzled me during a number of years. That is: How the 12 months used today at AD (or CE) can be used to settle a precise date in BC (or BCE)? More specifically, July was created to glorify Julius Caesar who died in March 44 BC; then how can we reach the date of birth of Alexander the Great - July 20, 356 BC? When this hero was born, July did not exist yet? Is not that so? I will appreciate your reply very much. Best regards and thank you.

    3:13 How do authors who want a more secular approach handle the names of the months? January is named for the Roman god Janus and March is named for the Roman god Mars. And how about the days of the week? Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are named after the Norse gods Tyr, Odin, Thor, and Frey. If one is concerned about a "secular approach", shouldn't those terms be changed too? Why do these who advocate for removing BC and AD only care about removing Christianity and not the other religious influences?

    Ok so if BC ment before christ, (which used the approximate year of his birth), what event is used to determine common era? Seems like it’s still a religious issue with just a change in name. Kind of like illegal immigrant and undocumented immigrant. I think if they are going to change the years, then they should have picked a particular event and explain what makes that particular event the common era. Perhaps the fall of Roman Empire? Or fall of the Greek empire? Either way it makes no sense because it’s still the same event that determines the starting point.

    The calendar as we know it today was presented to history by the Catholic Church. While it picked up pieces that were in existence beforhand (i.e., weeks and months) the year numbering system was used to determine how long it had been since the time of Jesus' birth. A so-called "common era" didn't begin 2,021 years ago. In fact It took a long time for the calendar we use today to be accepted by all parts of western civilization. The nation of Greece was the last European country to accept this calendar in the 1920s. And "CE" and "BCE" are an attempt to cover up what kind of historical object our calendar is and should be rejected as a lie.

If I was shown undeniable proof of any god’s existence then I would believe in that god. So far I have not been shown that proof. What would be even better is if a god showed their self to me. I would most definitely believe then. So far though that has not happened. I’m a fool for wanting to believe in the correct religion if I believe in one? What if I was a Christian, but the real god was Allah or Zeus? I would be screwed. I’d rather die not believing in any god than believing in the wrong god.

      Jesse Collins Kind of funny considering how much Christians complain. “God is being taken out of our schools”

      No, you're the fool to believe in any imaginary God. There has never been any evidence for one because it's imaginary.

    So to be clear, this Dionysius started the BC AD method 525 years after the birth of christ.. But before that how did people kept track of date? And how did he know the years before christ, did he take it from the Mesopotamians date?
    Also, you mentioned, historically the Mesopotamians were first to start keeping track of date and it was in the year 800, when did people started using the BC AD method in the Mesopotamians date?

      The ancient Romans counted the years since the First Olympic Games, in 776 BCE, or the foundation of Rome in 753 BCE. So in 'I, Claudius' , Claudius says he was born "year 767 since the First Olympiad or year 744 since the founding of Rome." which both meant 10 BCE.
      Otherwise the years of history were recorded as being "the year Marcus Licinius and Lucius Claudius were consuls" and later "the 15th year of Emperor Tiberius".
      After the video says historical year recording was invented by the Mesopotamians (which was thousands of years before Christ) they are never mentioned again. The system they invented did not survive down to the Roman era. The beginning of the use of AD in 800 is in Europe during the reign of Charlemagne.

    In World History time, 524AD is actually 1067CE in Eastern history.
    Buddhism is 543 years older than Christianity to be blunt.
