Oh, I get it...You think the only Antioch in existance at the time was in modern day Turkey...

Well guess what...I’m about 40 miles from Berlin...But it ain’t in Germany...Imagine that...

How many Antiochs do you think were scattered around the world of the Bible? Antioch, South Africa? Antioch, South Dakota? Antioch, Planet Mars? Antioch, the Andromeda Cluster?

Really, do you really imagine that the Apostles with their electronic KJV on their IMACs were warping through space to Talos IV in order to bring the Good News of Jesus to the Talosians?

I've seen it all now. You're to be commended for your patience.

How many Antiochs do you think were scattered around the world of the Bible?

I have no idea and don't really care to find out...But I know there were at least two...

Act 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Act 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Act 13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Act 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

This is Paul's first missionary journey...You'll notice that Paul started his journey on a boat out of Seleucia which is at that time, in Syria, north of Jerusalem...And Seleucia is just a few miles away from Antioch, Syria, which is right across the bay from Tarsus...

The scripures point the way and tell where Paul stopped...

Paul started in Antioch...If that Antioch was the Antioch in Turkey, Paul would have had to travel across Turkey, back into Syria to he could catch the boat at Seleucia, Syria and ultimatey hit the mainland again at just south of Perga, Turkey...They then traveled inland about a hundred miles to Antioch (Turkey)

Now if your premise was any where near correct, which it isn't, Paul would have started at Antioch, Turkey, although we have no clue how he might have gotten up to Turkey, turning around to come back in the same direction, making no stops til he got to the seaport in Syria and then went back to Antioch, Turkey...Just didn't happen...
