One of the questions, Where was Jesus born??? That’s easy... Jesus was born in Jerusalem right???

At least that’s what the Book of Mormon says...

[caww]

Who's teaching Jerusalem as Christs birthplace? Historical evidence and the written documents attest His birthplace at Bethlehem. In fact it was old testament prophecy fulfilled.

It would be significant for a cult or false religion to construe where His birthplace was. They generally do that with most historical facts..they have to in order to plug the holes of their arguments otherwise....round and round they go.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the area of Jerusalem. So anymore trap questions or are you just happy to see me?

Suburb of Jerusalem. Its in the greater Jerusalem metropolitan area. :-)

[ColdSteelTalon incorrectly states]

The Mormon book says Jesus was born in Jerusalem. When we all know Jesus was born in Bethlehem, just as Prophesied.

 

[Stourme adds the correction]

It's called the Book of Mormon. Named after the prophet who compiled it.

Alma 7

    10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

Matt 2

    1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

 

At Jerusalem...not in Jerusalem. Bethlehem is a suburb of Jerusalem. I'm sure, to some, it would have been more appropriate for the prophet Alma to have given GPS coordinates... But seeing as how he lived more than 2000 years ago...access to Google Earth was a little scarce.

 

When Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon he could have just as easily said Bethlehem..but that's not what the words he was translating said.
