The guys who put the scrolls in the caves were likely on the run from the Romans. Since they never came back for the scrolls the Romans likely caught up with them.
Question regarding “BCE” and “CE” rather than BC and AD: do you also replace Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with secular substitute word? Or do secularists only care about removing Jesus from the epochs based on his birth and not on the pagan idols in the names of the week?
@@GeraldineyoCousin funny that you only say that about Jesus. You don't feel so desperate to remove the names of Thor, Woden and Frida from the days of the week.
I know what it means. It’s utter nonsense. BC should be used and because it’s Before Christ. BCE is just stealing from the Christian worldview and trying to pretend Christ never really came down to earth to save sinners. The greatest event our timeline will ever see. BCE is pathetic. Who cares being “common”?
Its Before Common Era. People specifically made that name because they would literally erase an entire culture just to remove the word "Christ". Says how mature they are.
@@RomanCigić exactly but they don't mind pagan names of the week for Wodens day (Wednesday) Thor's Day (Thursday) and Frida's Day (I'll let you guess this one). It's glaring double standards.
The Gregorian calendar uses B.C./A.D. I'm not a fan of the Jesuits but even i can respect the incredible math and science that went into making the most accurate calendar known to man.
What determines "common era" and then something to be before that? Change the letters but you're still using Christ's birth as the marker. To another point, why wouldn't they use a cool latin phrase?
Secularists consider the two eras “BCE” (Before Common Era) and “CE” (Common Era). Christians prefer “BC” (Before Christ) and “AD” (Anno Domini, Latin, meaning Year of Our Lord-Jesus Christ) which was used for years but it’s (IMHO) silly to use two different languages to define the two eras, particularly Latin, a language not commonly used today. If Christians would simply view “BCE” as “Before Christian Era” and “CE” as “Christian Era”, substituting “Common” for “Christian”, we could all stop arguing and get along just fine.
@@BandlerChing Really? Then what does the term Anno Domini actually mean? What does it represent if not the birth of the savior? When was the date "zero" set and what was the purpose? As a historian, I'd imagine you'd know.
they can be used interchangeably, but they have different connotations. BCE is very non-religious and uses jesus's year of birth due its significance to chronology, but not the event itself. BC/AD is religious due to putting "in the year of our lord" at the front and center. i believe in god but am not extremely devout and dont particularly care about this issue, but i can understand why people do.
@@strangehominid I see I see I don’t want to come across as rude but if I don’t say anything your blood is on my hands too. Assuming you believe the Bible is a trusted document, the book of James talks a lot about prayer and why it’s important. Hebrews 10:24-25 talks about why we need to go to church. Proverbs 27:17 famously says iron sharpens iron, as one man sharpens another. In case those verses didn’t get my point across, John 14:21 hits the nail on the head: “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

Sadly they mostly likely did not escape the First Jewish-Roman War, which also witnessed the destruction of the settlement at Qumran

@@cheddarcheesewoah I asked a question. You responded with an insult. Don't you have an answer...
Jesus, man, you have a good point
As I just said in my own post if an Atheist like Neal Degrasse Tyson can (properly) use BC and AD
SO CAN WE ALL!!
@@METVWETVif a Christian can accept transgenders then can’t all of you? Your logic doesn’t make much sense
BC and AD were made up hundreds of years later, and the decision was arbitrary.
Hmm I have a question. What separates this Before Common Era and Common Era?🤔
The birth of a conman

Why are you using BCE and CE?
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔
1000%
BCE?
Before Christian Era
Yes. BCE.

No surprise the KJV onlyist wants things to stay the same lol

Except Jesus was born before 4 BC soooooo. It doesn’t even make sense by Christian standards lol. But then again, not at all surprising.

So should we all!
Don't think it matters regardless of whichever is used. The meaning is the same.

BCE and CE? lmao
So that would mean jesus was a saint and he taught people to leave peacefully. But humans have not evolved much. As it seems.
They're fake
No they're not.
