This is immediately after His resurrection:

John 20: 17

After, when He appeared to His disciples in the closed, locked room:

Luke 24:
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

If the reason Christ did not let Mary touch Him was because He had not yet ascended to His Father, and then He invited others later to touch Him, it is safe to assume He appeared to people after the resurrection.

In any case, this really isn't the point.

The point is, the Book of Mormon is the great fruit of the restored church. Either the Book of Mormon is true, or it isn't.

I would never presume to tell Jesus when He can appear and when He can't. If He did something different than what I *thought* He said, I would assume I was wrong.

This is a perfect parallel to when Christ appeared in the flesh. Many rejected Him because *they* misunderstood the prophecies about His appearing.

You guys need to get on the same page. Aesa is talking about His ascension into heaven at the beginning of Acts.
