You offer this self-contradicting foolishness like it is dis positive! ...

“Dr. Hugh Nibley, in his course of study for the priesthood for 1957, An Approach to the Book of Mormon, in Lesson 8, page 85, has this to say on this point:
‘. . . One of the favorite points of attack on the Book of Mormon has been the statement in Alma 7:10 that the Savior would be born ‘at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers.’ Here Jerusalem is not the city ‘in the land of our forefathers,’ it is the land. Christ was born in a village some six miles from the city of Jerusalem; it was not in the city, but it was in what we now know the ancients themselves designated as ‘the land of Jerusalem.’

Apparently you are incapable of seeing the mischaracterization in that 'syllogism'. It is so simple to deceive apologists by just juxtaposing at and in and then asserting that what the text plainly states is not what it states bu t 'in' is what it should be read to state. Amazing mental gyration that!

MAJOR ATTEMPT TO KILL THREAD PLACEMARK

[nowandlater]

I double dog dare the critics to go through all the talks that have been recently posted.

I can't believe this has degenerated into a debate over the meaning of the word "at" or "in" what is this, Bill Clinton's deposition?

Next thing you know, one of you will start saying "I don't recall" to everything (Hillarys Grand Jury appearance) and we'll have a full set.

Don't you guys know how ridiculous it is to argue a religion is false because of the word at?

You guys are funny, thanks for making us look good with this one, oh, please keep arguing it for as long as you can keep a straight face.

sigh... call it foolishness if you will. It’s as plain as can be to me. Do you honestly think that a people separated geographically from Jerusalem for over 500 years would refer to that area any differently?

So you honestly think that Joseph Smith who you consider a fraud would have used “Jerusalem” to refer to this context if he were indeed writing the book instead of translating?

Some food for thought.
