Mormons believe that Jesus Christ was born in a stable in Bethlehem to the virgin Mary, just as most other Christians do. We believe in the King James version of The Bible and the account that is found in Luke 24.
AnswerIn Gospel Lessons for the Lamanite People, an LDS missionary manual, it says " "Nephi lived in America at the time Jesus was born across the ocean in Jerusalem."
Alma 7:10, a verse from the Book of Mormon itself, says "10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God."
Jerusalem is not a "province" or larger section in which Bethlehem is a "suburb" or anything of the like. The Book of Mormon plainly states that Jesus Christ was born in Jerusalem, not in Bethlehem. ANSWERWhere is Jerusalem ever described as a "land" in the Scriptures? The expression "land of Jerusalem" never occurs in the sixty-six books of the Bible. The fact is, Matthew, an inspired apostle, explicitly states that Bethlehem is in "the land of Judah" (Matthew 2:6; cf. Luke 2:4). Judah is the "land"; Jerusalem is a "city" (cf. Zechariah 8:3; Matthew 5:35); and so is Bethlehem (Luke 2:4). Note the precision of Matthew's descriptions elsewhere in the same chapter. Twice he refers to the "land of Israel" (2:20-21), and then to the "city of Nazareth" (v. 23). Unlike Joseph Smith, the biblical writers did not confuse "land" and "city."
Bethlehem and Jerusalem are never confused in the Bible, as if the former were a mere "suburb" of the latter. The fact is, both "Bethlehem" and "Jerusalem" are mentioned in the same text (Matthew 2:1),
