“Galilee” = Galatia ?

Post by Giuseppe »

Given what Dykstra, Adamczewski, R.G. Price say about Paul in Mark, no wonder if the same Galilee alludes to the same Galatia who was “purified” by Paul from the his “demonic” Judaizers.

Bad idea to try and bring in Aramaic to you already low knowledge level on other matters.

גליל גלילא = Galilee
גלילי = Galilean

The meaning of 'Galilee' is simply 'region' or 'circuit' https://books.google.com/books?id=dOsCr ... on&f=false

Precisely, I don't understand why you repeat these things. Do you believe that I couldn't to find alone that your reference to 'Galilee' as 'circuit' etc?

In addition, someone has argued that Jesus started the his preaching in Galilee because the Galilee was the last land to be converted to the Jewish God (among the Jewish regions), and according to the Pauline logic, the “last” will be the “first” to be saved etc.

In all this, can a subtle competition with the Jewish Demiurge be seen, in the choise of 'Galilee' as first place of Jesus's preaching?
