<p>There is no present day Galatia. While the name of the old region may still be used occasionally, especially in archeology or in commercial travel focusing on ancients sites (eg, in biblical tourism, something like, "Walk in the Footsteps of St. Paul"), it is not used in modern civil or administrative geography, ie, it is not the official name for any city or province or region in modern-day Turkey. </p>

Listen only to my gospel. Why are you not listening only to my gospel?<br />
You’re going to pervert the Gospel of Christ.<br />
Even if an angel teaches you a Gospel, let the angel be cursed<br />
because my revelation of the Gospel of Christ is true. An angel is untrue and needs to be cursed by God.</p>
<p>Steefen:<br />
Today, people read canonical gospels and Gnostic gospels, not just what Paul says about the gospel.</p>

<p>No, Galatia is not the capital of Turkey. The capital city of Turkey is Ankara, which happens to be located within the historical geographic region of ancient Galatia, an ancient region in the central highlands of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It was named after the Gauls (Celtic tribes) who settled there in the 3rd century BC. When Paul wrote to the Galatians he was not writing to residents of a single city; he was writing a letter to be circulated among various communities within what had become the so-named Roman province which covered an area of approximately 32,800 square miles, roughly the size of modern day Austria. </p>

<p>But if Jesus had a human brother in whom Paul was interested and with whom he met and if Paul believed ...</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Jesus suffered on the cross for that. His crucifixion shall not be in vain.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>... then obviously an historical and mortal Jesus remained important to Paul, of what your mind can allow; that’s a different story.</p>

					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>Galatia: today is the capital of Turkey</p>
<p>Chapter 1<br />
For Paul, God is the Father.<br />
Jesus gave his life to rescue people from an age in the first century that was evil.</p>
<p>Steefen:<br />
Why didn't Noah give his life for a time that was evil.<br />
This is some new solution?</p>
<p>Chapter 1 continued:<br />
Listen only to my gospel. Why are you not listening only to my gospel?<br />
You're going to pervert the Gospel of Christ.<br />
Even if an angel teaches you a Gospel, let the angel be cursed<br />
because my revelation of the Gospel of Christ is true. An angel is untrue and needs to be cursed by God.</p>
<p>I seek the approval OF GAWD, I don't seek the approval of man. I serve KA-RIST.<br />
My gospel is not of human origin.</p>
<p>Steefen:<br />
Unlike the good news Jesus told John the Baptist.<br />
Jesus being a human means nothing of value to you.</p>
<p>Chapter 1 continued:<br />
I'm dealing with a Jesus after that nonsense about being human.<br />
A post-human Jesus Christ REVEALED all this to me.</p>
<p>I persecuted the human Jesus Christ and I'm still doin' it. Destroy that nonsense.<br />
GAWD set ME APART  to reveal his SON.<br />
I did not consult a psychiatrist. I did not consult any human being.<br />
I did not consult any Jews: I went to the Arabs and I returned to Damascus.<br />
Three years later, then, I talked with Peter-Cephas, staying with him for 15 days<br />
but not the other disciples, not the beloved disciple John or Mary Magdalene,<br />
not Thomas, doubting Thomas, GAWD NO.<br />
I wondered about the brother of Jesus, so I visited with him also. I'm not lying. As GAWD<br />
the FAWTHER is my witness, believe me what I'm saying.</p>
<p>Then I went to Syria and Cilicia--churches in Judea didn't know me. Well, they kind of knew me because<br />
my reputation preceded me. I wasn't a fan of the human Jesus but the Jesus who worked his way into <br />
what my mind would allow, that's a different story.</p>
<p>Some version of Jesus took hold of me and people praised God for that.</p>
<p>Chapter 2</p>
<p>14 years later, Barnabas and I went to Jerusalem--Titus was with us also.<br />
Why did I go? I had a revelation to present to the leaders of the Jerusalem Church what I was teaching Gentiles.<br />
I didn't want to do something in vain. They would tell me.</p>
<p>What am I talking about? <br />
Penis. Greek Titus wasn't circumcised.</p>
<p>Steefen:<br />
Jesus suffered on the cross for that. His crucifixion shall not be in vain.</p>
<p>Chapter 2 continued:<br />
Some people infiltrated my following. They wanted us to be slaves to the Law.<br />
If the Greeks didn't want to be cut, leave them alone.<br />
Verse 8, Peter talked to the circumcised. I talked to the uncircumcised.</p>
<p>James, Cephas, and John agreed with this. Remember the poor which I hadn't forgotten.</p>
<p>But when Cephas came to Antioch, we had a disagreement. Cephas ate with the Gentiles until James' people came to Antioch. Even Barnabas didn't want to eat with the Gentiles. Well, the dining freedom should not be rejected.</p>
<p>When we go to the Gentiles, we don't become sinners. Circumcision and dietary laws aren't the whole story: that's the meaning of Jesus Christ. Don't be foolish.</p>

Steefen, you've already told us what you meant and what you should have said. But it was not what you said. You were not truthful when you falsely claimed that what you meant to say was what you said. You would have a much easier time ime here if you were simply truthful and able to admit when you make a mistake. <br />

<p>I know my train of thought. You don't know what was going on. I  do.</p>

<p>Now, with respect to what you meant to say, that is true. Pilate's execution of the anonymous Samaritan was more consequential to Pilate than Pilate's execution. But that too is not an argument supporting you're claim that Pilate did not have Jesus of Nazareth crucified. Presumably Pilate would have had many people executed without much consequence to himself. That's not argument that these other people he crucified did not exist. </p>

<p>I can explain myself to you.</p>
<p>You have to understand through listening or not understand.<br />
You choose to not understand, that's on you.</p>
