Merry Christmas to All
12/25/09
I couldn’t let today go by without wishing everyone a most blessed Christmas and a better new year. Rejoicing in the birth of God’s only begotten Son and sharing the reason for the hope that lies within us, may our joy reach out to everyone who stands in need of the Gospel. Remembering that, no matter the situation, God is still in control.
Here’s a little reading assignment, as if you don’t already have enough to do herding grandkids, finding places to stash your new stash, schlepping the turkey from counter to oven to table, and making sure Grandma doesn’t drink too much eggnog.
Question: Why does Joseph Smith’s Book of Mormon say Jesus was born in Jerusalem? (Alma 7:10) Then click on this (those of you who haven’t already read it and committed it to memory) and watch Jeff Lindsay stumble all over his rationale trying to justify it.
Praise the Lord.

I live in Arkansas. When I travel to Independance MO on business I often tell people I'm heading to Kansas City.
When really I'm traveling to the land round about Kansas City, I.E the Land of Kansas City ='s Independance MO.
Kansas City is the dominant Land Mark, of a well known general area.
Jesus was not born in Jerusalem, but in the Land of Jerusalm surounding the City. The land of Jerusalem in ancient times was also known as Jerusalem because law enforcement and solders would be issued forth from the city walls to maintain law in the outlying villages such as Nazereth.
Much the way Kansas City holds much influence and sway with Independance Missouri. Difference is Independance is a separate city. Wherease Nazareth while a separate village, was still ruled by the legal authorities from Jerusalem. Therefore anceint Nazereth would be considered part of Jerusalem.
You can document this fact from ancient Babylonian texts where spies sent letters to the King of Babylon saying the Land of Jerusalem has taken up arms against you... These spies didn't say the City of Jerusalem, but the Land Of the City of Jerusalem.
Study your ancient history and you will understand the Book of Mormon.
I hope this helps...
By the way, visit my blog... It's very clear Joseph Smith didn't lie.
