Personally, I try to use both terms, in the following sense:<br /><br />With reference merely to a political and official sense, it's historically accurate to say there was no "Israel" in the 1st century. There was "Judea" and "Galilee", etc.<br /><br />In the hearts and minds of Jewish and Christian believers, such as Jesus and Paul, and their followers, they would have absolutely told you that their homeland was still called "Israel".<br /><br />Thanks for the good conversation.Bill Heromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283809456471966882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12543231.post-30253551736726131172011-08-28T15:42:04.172-05:002011-08-28T15:42:04.172-05:00I was somewhat taken aback to see a writer in a co...I was somewhat taken aback to see a writer in a conservative Baptist publication talk about the governors of "Palestine" while Jesus lived.<br />Of course, He lived in Israel, and Palestine is nowhere to be found in the Bible.Mjazznoreply@blogger.com
