![[POST 1/2] Have you ever found it funny that the entire world’s dating system is based upon the birth and death of Jesus? The term B.C. means “before Christ”. People often think the term “A.D.” means “after death”, and while that’s partly true, it actually means anno domini, which means “in the year of our Lord” in Latin. In recent years, scholars have tried changing the terms to B.C.E and C.E., which mean “before common era” and “common era”. There is a push to change these terms even more now, as the BC and AD terms are deemed “offensive” to other cultures and religions. But here’s the kicker, no matter what the term, the timeline is literally still based on the birth and death of Jesus Christ. So, without changing the timeline of our human existence, the terms mean absolutely nothing. It still points to Jesus. Isn’t that great?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am not sure at what point we, as humans, decided to make things so complicated. Actually, I suppose it was from the beginning of life and free will. We have been trying to get back to the garden ever since we were banished from it. We have been pursuing convenience since the day Eve ate that fruit. Searching for ways we could make life easier, and yet, making it even more complicated at the same time. Because you see, when trying to make life easier, so many people (just like the Israelites) think that a king can make it easier. That a king can give them everything they need. Israel begged for a king even though God dwelled within their own camps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
