"Now, the Book of Mormon prophesied that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem (Alma 7:10). What's interesting about the survey is that a higher % of Mormons got this question right than the other groups. What does that mean?

What does that mean? It means Mormons know where Jesus was born.

Your stretch of logic is really pathetic. As you know, Bethlehem is about 5 miles outside of Jerusalem. When you harp on Mormonism it usually is a better attempt than this.

Still misguided, but better than this. This attempt just tries to slam Mormonism a bit too much.

As you know, Bethlehem is about 5 miles outside of Jerusalem.

You know, if either of you had been born in the border town of Colorado City, AZ...which is 8 miles south of Hildale, UT (taking the outer edge of homes in each community)...
...and many moons before you were born -- or at least the document I came up with well after you were born --
...but which listed a pre-birth date...
...prophesied that you would be born in the "Zion" state of Utah in the city of Hildale...
...would you call my prophesy, "Well, close enough...good enough for 'divine' work???"

I mean, here we have the pure "Zion" city of Jerusalem -- a city which at times was indeed described in the OT as a "mountain" -- but which was NEVER confused with ANY OTHER city!

And a Book of Mormon "prophet" is going to peg the city of Zion as Jesus' birthplace? And yet it wasn't the city of Zion? But you both still claim, "close enough?"

You both are still claiming that the Pew Forum survey had a question in which two answers were correct!

And yet you just won't come out & flat out admit that this is the Mormon apologist claim...that Bethlehem & Jerusalem is one & the same...and if we were to just cross out "Bethlehem" in several of those Christmas carols, and replace it with "Jerusalem," well, you seemingly, claim, who cares?

What does that mean? It means Mormons know where Jesus was born.

No, it could also mean that where Mormons do know their Bible -- which is not very deep -- and when it directly contradicts the Book of Mormon, they are beginning to ignore the Book of Mormon as containing errors, having changed "many plain and precious things."

What can we expect from these "Whores of Babylon"?
