Knowing the history of Israel and accepting the fact that a generation ago there was no Israel there (the land being previously known as palestine [I think named that by the ottomans]; is the name of the lake or not. I saw maps of israel that say "Lake Tiberius." I've saw others that said "Sea of Galilea." which one is ORIGINALLY?

It's hard to say...Galilee is the region, Tiberias a town in the region of Galilee. The region name is older, so that might be the original name. But it was probably called something before that...
Also, "Palestine" was not named by the Ottomans; the name goes back to pre-Roman times when some people in the area were known as Philistines. The Romans also referred to this area as Syria Palaestina.
Plus, Israel's been around for 59 years. That's two generations, unless you're taking fertility drugs.

Yes, it was second of the most holiest body of waters in Christianity,after River Jordan, it is the place where Jesus walk in the lake. And it is the place of Confession to St.Peter. Sea Of Galilea was today name of the Lake, but in the tie of Jesus,its was Lake Tiberius, after the name of the emperor of the Roman Empire.

Lake Tiberius is the Roman name which I think came later. The Sea of Galilee, if I'm correct, is the original name. As all we Christians know, J.C. spoke English, and if English was good enough for Him, it's good enough for me. He walked on the Sea of Galilee.

THE SEA OF GALILEA IS WHERE JESUS TAUGHT A LOT.
CAPERNUM IS THE CITY LOCATED THERE. THAT WAS HIS HOME BASE. CAPERNUM IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH BY NORTH WEST SHORE OF THE SEA OF GALILEA. HE CHOSE MOST OF HIS DISCIPLES FROM AND AROUND THAT AREA.
DURING THE TIME OF THE ISRAELITES OR THE TEN TRIBE KINGDOMS, THE SEA OF GALILEA WAS KNOWN AS THE SEA OF CHINNERETH
TIBERIUS IS A NAME OF A CITY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE SEA OF GALILEA

First, we don't worship Israel, we help Israel. We worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 2d, that became an twist of destiny. recover from it. We did. edit: Me? i'm an American citizen that loves my u . s .. My Daddy served 20 years and is a vietnam vet. My husband became interior the army for 3. My son is now interior the reserves. i'm responsive to the hazards of serving our u . s .. i don't opt to chop back the respect of those lost in this twist of destiny. yet that's what it became, an twist of destiny. The Israelis did not see the yank flag till while they fired. the difficulty became settled while they found out what happened. You call me conceited, once you arrogantly accuse the individuals who help Israel of "worshipping" them. I bow to no person yet God. back, i don't intend to make gentle of the deaths of those sailors. they must be venerated for their sacrifice for their u . s .. yet you seek for to make difficulty over some thing that has been settled for over 40 years.

To the Victors go the spoils of war!
Example- is the city named "Istanbul" or "Constancenoble"? Same city, different names, different times
