If she did consider them children of the prophet by sealing, this only goes towards my point. Not yours.


You did.

Because all the other Lyon children (the ones she considered sealed to Joseph Smith) were maybe, mmmm - wait for it - DEAD!!!! at the time.


I realize you have backed off of that, now you got caught, but if anyone lacks scruples it is you.

Got caught at what exactly? That statement was absolutely factual. I'm perfectly happy to stand by that statement and I dare you to demonstrate otherwise. :wink:

Interesting you are standing by a statement you have already backed off of.

And I'll say it again, we don't know what she thought of the status of the remaining children.

Yeah, try again. As I said, I don't know what her stance was on the remaining children - only the Lyon children.

You don't know it on any of them. This is why you failed, even though I think you were trying to fool people into thinking she only had Josephine to tell this to. Your beliefs is that she never had sex with Joseph meaning she knew Josephine was another man's husband. If this was true, then she had no reason to view one child sealed and the other not when none of them would have been Joseph's. There is no reason to think she would either view all or none. The problem is that you need these mental hoops to make your belief work.

Uh huh, you are really a broken record on this. When you have some real proof, let's talk.

I never offered proof, but evidence that makes one reasonable and the other not. You can choose what ever you want to believe. I don't have anything at stake for Josephine to be Joseph's daughter or not. It won't make Joseph a real prophet either way.

Drifting, Joseph Smith did practice polygamy and did have children, and he will have many more during the millennium!

And where does one find this doctrine in the Bible?
