Darth Ender, I'm a bit curious about Alma 7:10, which seems to prophesy that the "Son of God" (presumably Jesus Christ) will be born in Jerusalem. Obviously, this constitutes at least an apparent contradiction with the Bible, which specifies the birth of Christ, both predictively and descriptively, as Bethlehem (Mic. 5:2; Matt. 2:1; Luke 2:4-7). I'm sure this has been addressed by LDS apologists before, but I'm curious as to what your take on it is. Thanks.

10 And behold, he shall be ^aborn of Mary, at ^bJerusalem which is the ^cland of our forefathers, she being a ^dvirgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and ^econceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

"The land" can mean region. Bear in mind that this verse is also speaking to a group of people that had not been in the Holy Land for hundreds of years. They were probably not familiar with the geography, but knew where Jerusalem was.

Bethlehem was a suburb of Jerusalem, very close (I think no more than 5 mi.). If I were to tell you I served my mission in Alpharetta, Cumming, Kennesaw, Griffin, and Buchanan, you'd probably not know what I was referring to. But if I told you I served my mission in Atlanta, you'd probably have a better idea.

I don't have the exact verses at the ready, but bear in mind that the Old Testament calls Jerusalem "The city of David." Luke 2 also calls Bethlehem "the city of David."

And yes, this has been addressed extensively by apologists as well and doesn't bother me in the least.

EDIT: Sorry this looks so ugly. It's what happens when you copy and paste.
