All this for whether jesus was Born in Jerusalem Alma 7:10 or was Born in Bethlehem.NOTICE the BIBLE says "Bethlehem of JUDEA"NOTICE BOM still says at the "LAND of Jerusalem" NO BIBLE HISTORY of a LAND of JerusalemBOTH Jerusalem & Bethlehem are in the land of Judea. This is the Land the Lord gave the Tribe of JUDAH.in Deut 34:12 the "land of Judah"There is no "tribe" of Jerusalem.The Bible talks of the "land of Israel" in 2 Chronicles 30:25 also lands of egypt, cannan, etc. (The bible is consistent in its use of city vs land)The Bible NEVER says "land of Jerusalem"But it does say "land of Judah AND IN Jerusalem" because Jerusalem is a CITY of JUDEA Jeremiah 7:342 Kings 23:24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.Bethlehem is the city in Judea where "Jesus was born in Bethlehem of JUDEA" MT 2:1When the nation was split in 2 there was a northern Kingdom of Israel & a southern Kingdom of Judahhttp://www.bartleby.com/65/ju/Judah-Kngdm.html So it is painfully clear the CITY of Jerusalem is IN the LAND of Judah! NO SECULAR HISTORY of a LAND of JerusalemPontius Pilate was the govenor of the land of JudeaWho was govenor of the "land of Jerusalem"? Is this FICTICIOUS "Land of Jerusalem" on one of the bible maps in your BOM or Bible?It is AMAZING the lengths you will go and the hoops will will jump thru here.It is a very clear error in the BOM. Joe missed this verse too. MT 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.So I RANT & RAVE and I am PREJUDICED and a DECEIVER.
DAVID MILLER is this a personal attack?Extra slack depending on who you are?Dean gets a lecture, Blaine and Dave get a pass.
DAVEH: Hey DavidM......If anybody is handing out "passes" here, I'll take a bunch! :-)And Kevin, don't blame Blaine for the private comments he made to me. I take full responsibility for posting them when perhaps I shouldn't have. If you take them as a personal attack, I am sorry and apologize, as it was my doing....not Blaine's.
However, in defense of myself, I did post Blaine's "rantings and ravings" comment which to me seem pretty innocous. But I don't recall posting anything (nor would I) saying you are "PREJUDICED and a DECEIVER", even if you qualify. BLAINEsays: but I looked this up and wanted to get it to TTr's lest Keven gain the upper hand in his rantings and ravings about the passage I once quoted.
