Well, it happened again and so it seemed like a good opportunity to write on this issue. A self-professed skeptic attempted to, at least, downplay the Messiah, Jesus’, ethics by asserting that “The golden rule, prescribed by Confucius around 500 BCE.”
For the uninitiated, BCE is an anti-Christian manner of referring to BC. BCE means Before Common Era and BC means Before Christ. BCE is meant to disregard Jesus whilst still making use of the very same calendar which pivots history upon His birth—go figure.
