We have asked for evidence that Joseph thought his married wives were for the next life only, not evidence that some apologists do. Can you quote specific evidence you have in mind or are you going to keep avoiding this.
And, I reaffirm my prior statement that he had no sex and no children from these marriages.
That's what you want to believe.
I already explained the deathbed statement from mother to daughter that the daughter belonged to Joseph Smith. Do you have proof that she meant that she was the physical daughter of Joseph Smith as opposed to being the SEALED daughter to him?
You have avioded why she would only say this to one child, and the only one who could be Joseph's biological daughter. Again many apologists accept that Joseph probably did have sex with some of them.
There is absolutely no DNA evidence to show anything other than what I have said.
They have not checked them all, and in-particular Sylvia's daughters line.
Do you have proof that Zina had sex with her husband after she was married to Brigham Young and started top have children with him? If she did, then according to the statement I quoted from Brigham Young, she committed a grievous sin
The statement was from some member of the church, but I quoted BY and his horrible statement. I repeat it for you.
Brigham Young spoke in this wise, in the hearing of hundreds: He said it was time for men who were walking in other men's shoes to step out of them. "Brother Jacobs," he says, "the woman you claim for a wife does not belong to you. She is the spiritual wife of brother Joseph, sealed up to him. I am his proxy, and she, in this behalf, with her children, are my property. You can go where you please, and get another, but be sure to get one of your own kindred spirit."
This does not really support your assertion. BY does not need to be proxy for a next life marriage. I suspect Zina must have been a catch for both Joseph and BY to go after her. There is so much you ignore about what was going on, although I suspect you don't know much about it.
