[ColdSteelTalon screeches]

And that is weak argument at best and and outright heresy at its worst .

[Stourme calmly states]

You're arguing the semantics of a geographical location....

The prophecy says Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. Not Jerusalem. See Micah 5:2. Jesus could not be the Messiah if he had been born anywhere else...

The Bible is not about semantics. It is precise in every way this includes prophecy. It could not be God's word otherwise.

Bethlehem and Jerusalem during the time of Christ were separate towns. I don't know how much more plainly I can say that. It is simply a fact. I know its hard to accept but the Joseph Smith's book of Mormon has lots of little flaws in it like this. It has lots of flaws, like the man who wrote it Joseph Smith.

Joseph Smith simply got it wrong. That is not hyperbole its simple fact.
