Why would I pick up on something I know not to be true???
That's the problem. You 'know' things that have no connection with reality. Reality, backed up by the CIA Factbook, the World Atlas and any number of sources that you care to name says that what you call Antioch is not in Syria, but in Turkey.
And I got news for ya...What is San Francisco was at one time in Mexico just as Antioch was in Syria...Yes, it sits on the Orentes river and has been referred to by that name but it also was called Antioch of Syria...
The penny drops. Very good. And it was the Syriac territory, not modern day Syria proper, and this territory, whether self ruled or conquered, varied hugely over the millennia. At one point, it covered all of modern day Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and sizeable portions of Iraq, Turkey, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and almost all of Ethiopia.
I just can't believe the twists and turns you will go thru to try to look as being right...
When we debate, Iscool, I find it almost impossible to be wrong.
So what, the maps I showed you were of ancient Syria with Antioch in Syria...And had you known what you were talking about when you started this argument, You'd have agreed with me instead of trying to look like you could outsmart me...

Man, you just don't give up...You have resorted to agreeing with what I initially said but trying to make it sound as tho it was your idea...WoW...

Yes it did...And as I pointed out to you several times, when the Apostle Paul made his first Journey, THAT Antioch was in what was Syria at the time...What is your problem???
We now agree but you flip-flopped your position...Good...You learned something...
