The Sea of " Galilee" is an astounding proof of the bible and God. Jesus earthly ministry centered around this Sea, he spent most of his ministry along the shore of this ever present fresh water lake. Gave most of his parables there and performed most of his miracles there.
The lake is still there. The proof is still there.
Peace.

Luke uses this term, but the more common new testement designation is the familiar " Sea of Galilee." John twice refered to it as the " Sea of Tiberias".
