Ok, got it. Thanks.

Essentially, O.T. = B.C.E. N.T. = C.E. By that, Judas Maccabees would be O.T.

Or O.T. = B.C., N.T. = A.D.

No. It's definitely not an "or".

Actually it is an or, B.C.E. only came into use extensively in recent years, it was B.C. and A.D. for a very long time before that.

B.C.E. ("before common era") and C.E. ("common era") was instituted by liberals who want to remove all mention of Christ from our lives. This doesn't even make any sense, considering that "A.D." and "B.C." were set by the very appearance of Christ. The only reason it's not perfect is because the guy (I forget his name off the top of my head) who set the timeline as we know it now, his math was a little off. But B.C. ("before christ") and A.D. ("Anno Domini" (in the year of our Lord)) should most definitely be used for the time periods.

It's an "and".

Yes, it's extremely important to force our way of thinking on to everyone else. That's the best way to save the lost.

Either way his point still stands, it can be an "or", it doesn't have to be an "and".

It has to be an "and".

There's no reason to use "B.C.E." and "C.E." I certainly don't recognize them. Using A.D. and B.C. is not forcing our beliefs on anyone. After all, we have used this calendar for a long time. It's all a part of a liberal plot, the same people who want to remove the use of "under God" from the pledge of allegiance or the Ten Commandments from courts. We must be a country that serves God, or this country will come under judgment (some believe it already has, and will only get worse). Look at Jerusalem.

FWIW, 'or' is only inappropriate if one of the choices is false. A.D and B.C.E are commonly accepted, so 'or' is definitely an option. If it's 'and', all our dates this year should read: 2009 A.D.C.E. Which just seems silly to me.

And while I don't really care if people insist on using B.C.E and C.E instead of the traditional ones, I think it's a bit strange. I guess Jesus is somewhere on the importance spectrum between dividing the two main eras of human history, and Lord.

And with that, I think this thread has served its purpose. There is now a new (not to mention more useful than Agabus) green N.T. Prophet, who is also a Priest. Rob has made it official, and Prophets deck users may rejoice. And this thread should be locked so that it can rest peacefully in the annals of the Ruling Questions for all time.

You're somewhat crazy and over paranoid. I'd love to debate you on AIM sometime.

So the official ruling is that Saint Patrick is a prophet?

Saint Patrick is a Prophet because his dreams foretold the future which did come true.
