Exactly. The key claims of Christianity -- are things that had the Jerusalem Gazette been around circa 30 A.D. -- would have covered: The death on the cross of Jesus Christ; the empty tomb & claims of His resurrection while appearing to around 500 individuals...& claims of His ascension.
That's why Christianity focuses on the "Good News" -- the literal meaning of the word "Gospel." It's NEWS...not just "Good dogma based upon blind faith."
The apostle Paul told the Corinthian church that if Jesus wasn't resurrected, that we were still in our sin and to be pitied among all men as having an empty faith.
Even though newspapers were around when Smith said this "vision" appeared to him, we don't even see Smith discussing it until well after the Book of Mormon is published. And his accounts changed so much that even many of the Lds leaders reference only angels appearing to Joseph Smith. Not God. Not Jesus Christ. Even the official Mormon "scripturized" account in the Pearl of Great Price doesn't mention God or Jesus name as the "personages" that appeared to him.
Um I don’t know what you’re sources, but that made no sense whatsoever. LDS doctrine since its inception has always maintained that Joseph Smith claimed he saw The Father and The Son Jesus Christ. Though various versions of the account have been published, truthful accounts from Smith or others are consistent, while others claiming access to the information are nothing but hacks or misinformed people about Smith’s vision that started the Mormon movement.
