Oh I remember, I also refuted this accusation by steve benson:
"I would never have been sealed to Joseph had I known it was anything more than ceremony. I was young, and they deceived me, by saying the salvation of our whole family depended on it"
Its just a late 19th century, anti-mormon fabrication according to Todd Compton. (In Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1997), 195)
This quote came from an anti-mormon source, and its not a quote by Helen herself.
So I actually refuted 3 accusations, I am so sorry Steve, and I am just a simple apologists, and I am no scholar, no historian, I am not brilliant like apologist G. L. Smith, who will refute all of this very easily.
"Slippery as a greased pig "
Most ex-mormons I talk to in Youtube, just make ad hominem attacks on me and FAIR.
"but TheSkepticChristian ran away"
I don't run away from anti-thing, do you have any idea how many anti-mormon websites I have visited, I also read anti-mormon books, and I seen pretty much all silly anti-mormon evangelical documentaries. I left, because I ask for respect.
"When Book of Mormon people came, did they marry with Mayan and other people?"
That's what most scholars believe
"If yes, was it because their spirits were animal and not spirit children of Elohim?"
Animals are like Apes, Bigfoot. Of course Indians are not animals. All humans in this world are spirit children of God, that's what I believe, so don't ask me for scientific evidence.
"Apologists have tried to minimize Joseph Fielding Smith's teachings about spirits of Black people being less valiant in the premortal existence."
This is not an issue, its not LDS official doctrine. What the church teaches in the official doctrine. Even if the opinions or teachings of the prophets are correct, to get to official doctrine, its a process explained here:
http://newsroom.lds.org/article/approaching-mormon-doctrine"give animal ancestry to America's indigenous people?"
No, I think you misunderstood me, but ape-like creatures 2,000,000 years ago, I am pretty sure they were just animals.
"Did ancestors of America's indigenous people live through the flood?"
It was most likely a local flood. Baptism of the earth is not official doctrine. Official doctrine has never stop being official doctrine, and will never do.
Okay, if you want me to keep answering questions, please show some respect.
