JC was born some time in the reign of Herod, who died in 4 BC, so that invalidates the numbering system. Most theologians reckon he was born around 6 to 4 BC, so our common era starts after the event that gives us the old designation.A common era defined by the birth of Christ. So it says nothing.
Oh I absolutely agree. And as we know, years were once counted as years of the reign of King X. But it's been shown that one or more kings were missed.JC was born some time in the reign of Herod, who died in 4 BC, so that invalidates the numbering system.

At this point in time - why not just say NOW. Some supposedly welll educated people on TV talk shows start almost every sentence with the word LOOK, and then intersperse their comments with Uh, Um, You know, and similar things, and if the person they are talking to does not know because they are just being told, then why tell them "You Know"
Pacific when they mean specific
Oswald Street instead of Oswestry
Espresso rather than espresso

How do you differentiate the pronunciation of Expesso from expresso?
You don't. However, targe up, if you're talking about coffee, it's spelled espresso and pronounced differently. Targe down.How do you differentiate the pronunciation of Expesso from expresso?

Yes, sorry I was a bit slow there, or rather too fast. Must do better. Would that be a term you're familiar with?Spoilsport.
In the odd idle moment, I have often wondered: if the remaining Goodie who is not called Bill was caught up in some form of newsworthy scandal, could the media resist calling said scandal “Garden-gate”?Scottish fish farms have Salmon gates - is that close enough? Others have (maybe not in Scotland) have Sturgeon gates. Neither fish is slippery enough for the SNP.
Yes - adding 'gate' to any scandal show what a bunch of throbbers they are.
That pre supposes JC was actually a real person.JC was born some time in the reign of Herod, who died in 4 BC, so that invalidates the numbering system. Most theologians reckon he was born around 6 to 4 BC, so our common era starts after the event that gives us the old designation.
Oh JC was real. He was my RSM and we shared many a dead stag in battlegroup HQ. I attended his funeral a dozen or so years ago.That pre supposes JC was actually a real person.
A person called Jesus, probably did. It’s quite common. The Epithet Christ is from the Greek meaning the anointed one. I don’t think we ever get to find out what the family name is, such as it is in those days. Entire life times are wasted by biblical scholars trying to define the undefinable.That pre supposes JC was actually a real person.
O'Arimathea I think, after his father, n'est-ce pas? Or a meringue?A person called Jesus, probably did. It’s quite common. The Epithet Christ is from the Greek meaning the anointed one.

Well it’s an implication, more a bit of a herringueO'Arimathea I think, after his father, n'est-ce pas? Or a meringue?
