Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdrey, Sidney Rigdon and others claim to have seen a Jesus.

How come none of them state they felt the piercings in his hands or feet and thrust their hand into the wound of his side?

The early Apostles did. The Nephites did?

Are you sure it was Jesus?

Well, you see, he'd had cosmetic surgery by then.

If I recall correctly, this has been a topic already in mormonism...

I remember being told that the appearances to the NT folks were after "resurrection," but before "celestial glory." That the "ascension" in the NT was when Jesus went all the way to the CK, which is where he got his "perfected" body. And that it would make no sense for a perfected, resurrected body to have scars leftover from mortal life (otherwise, amputees in life would be amputees in heaven, etc.).

Not that I buy any of it (including the NT)...but that's what I recall being told by mormons.

It's been a long long time since I was at the visitor center at Temple Square in Salt Lake, but IIRC, the statue of Jesus there had holes in his hands and feet

Yep.

That must be pre-ascension Jesus! :)

Some arguments about the subject (by mormons) here (along with some quotes from apostles and such):
