    I am grateful to God for such edifying videos that you all share with us. I believe much effort, dedication and labour go into them, yet at the same time, they are rightly simple and light. I shall even begin to show as clips for homeschooling, after discussion. Also love the endings. I don't favour this kind of tea either. But I look forward to know what it is you all are drinking.

    The Coptic Church still uses their own calendar (for liturgical purposes) based on the ancient Egyptian calendar and the year count is from the start of the reign of Deocleatian and are given the abbreviation of AM (Anno Martyrum).

      raise one finger. how many finger are there raised? one? or zero?
      the age of a person is the number of full years completed. so a one year old has lived one full year. BUT if we were to number the first year of his life, before he completed it, thus before he turned one it would be the first year of his life , ie year ONE
      counting the first in any series as zero was always logically absurd., it only started with computers where the 0 of 0-9 was given more meaning than is valid

    As strange as it may sound to many. I am sure Dionysius Exiguus is absolutely correct in calculating the incarnation of Lord God Messiah.
    He was dilligent, very intelligent, highly educated and so much closer to the events than our modern day scholars.
    He probably had sources available to him that are obscure and unknown to us and/or probably destroyed by now.

    I get confused with the "Before the Present" B.P. System which starts in A.D 1950, according to Archaeologists.
    So 3000 B.P. is 1050 B.C.
    I'm confused. I need a lager and an aspirin.

    • @Patristix
      @Patristix  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      BC was popularised by Isaac Newton in the early 1700s. Before him, the wording was ACN which meant "ante Christe natum" or "before Christ's birth"

  • @daimionkaizafox
    @daimionkaizafox 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Actually the one tht started AD for Jesus was someone else. His name was Dionysius Exiguus a Romanian Saint in the Orthodox and Catholic church when the church used to still be one. Lived in AD 475-544. As for BC, The Venerable Bede came up with tht part of the dating system.

    "Dennis:" is the proper translation of the name Dionysius
    and i was always lead to believe that his name meant Dennis the short,
    but this i read somewhere and i cannot vouch for it
    HOWEVER I have one question:
    was he wrong to put the death of Herod at 4 BC? After all he ordered the massacre of the innocents after Jesus was born in an attempt to kill Him
    or have we misunderstood his system
    do co regencies between Herod and any of his son's or successors skew the date

    • @voxlknight2155
      @voxlknight2155 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I believe that is because the actual dating of the system is 4-5 years ahead of where it should be. That is to say that the saint was off by that many years in his estimate of when the incarnation happened. Which, to me, is amazing, that he got it so close when probably very few people around were keeping track, and he would, most likely, have to make an educated guess, and he was only off by a few years.
      Herod the Great, I believe, died the same year, or one year after, our Lord Jesus Christ was born. I can't exactly remember, I'm still new to reading the Bible and haven't memorized much of it yet haha

    Hi Mr Patristix. I enjoy your videos. You might like my new book Best Christian Art; subtitle Aesthetic Christianity. It's nondenominational. I meant to say it's Christian art in general, and not just Catholic art. I'm going to make yt videos about all the chapters. About 1 per day. I'm a neuroradiologist who occasionally writes about art and literature. I mostly make videos about nutrition and health at my yt channel Peter Rogers MD.

    Of course, most admit that Jesus' birth was probably a little earlier, about 3 BC.

    • @gabiacobescu

      In fact 4 BC. This is because Herod the Great is thought to have died in 4 BC and he ordered the Massacre of the Innocents (Matthew 2:16-18)
