Well I got as far as "He shall be born of Mary at Jerusalem"

Uh.

No one in the Mormon church ever teach you of the significance of Jesus being born -- NOT in Jerusalem -- but in Bethlehem?

Bethlehem -- where King David had tended his sheep before being anointed by Samuel?

Great study showing the hand of the True God at work in picking before the beginning of time where His only Begotten Son would be born. Mary and Joseph, both being direct descendent's of King David, had to go to Bethlehem for the census that night.

This phony counterfeit "Angel Moroni" with this weird twisting of the old and New testaments in the Book of Mormon is really unreal every time I read it. Anyone who knows the Word can pick apart the book of Mormon in a snap. I encourage all Mormons to check and doublecheck what they hold as sacred creed -- as again -- Paul really castigates False Teaching and False Teachers in the real Bible.

With all the pixie dust Smith was smokin', these "scriptures" from the Book of Mormon read like a poor man's approximation of the real Word. The "Spirit" would never make such an obvious mistake as to say Mary gave birth at Jerusalem.

Smith must have played hookie the day his Sunday School teacher discussed Bethlehem and its spiritual significance.

I dont know why you are so bitter against the mormon church, but you just need to know when and where to post. You just need to take your bitterness some place else. This is a post about a missionary being killed and all you do is bash his beliefs.

Well, since it's safe to assume that Joseph Smith, being brought up in a very religious family and having read the Bible regularly and interested in matters of Christianity, knew full well that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the question to ask then becomes, why did he say At Jerusalem instead of the obvious Bethlehem?

The next question to ask then becomes, why haven't you asked the first question?
