The earlier dating terminology was established in the Sixth Century and has been shown to be in error by about four to eight years. Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem (Bayt Lahm, West Bank) in about the year 6 BCE.
κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."

BCE and CE
BCE is the abbreviation for "Before the Common Era" and CE is the abbreviation for "Common Era." These terms correspond to the earlier BC, "Before Christ," and AD, "Anno Domini" (Latin for the "Year of the Lord"). The newer terms are used because they are more inclusive of non-Christians than the earlier terms. The actual dating remains the same.
