Mostly.
The message of the gospel is the same, but other things have been, let's say, de-correlated.
Back then, Samuel Smith and Orson Hyde explained that Joseph translated the plates by means of the Urim and Thummim, which is what Joseph and Oliver always taught.
Back then, Oliver explained it was a fact that the hill Cumorah in New York is the hill Cumorah/Ramah in the Book of Mormon.
In our day, few Latter-day Saints even know what they taught about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon when Joseph Smith was still alive.
But that's changing as more and more Latter-day Saints learn what all of Joseph's contemporaries knew, but which certain prominent LDS scholars have rejected.

For some time now, people have asked me to do more on social media, including YouTube, X, Instagram, and even FB. I don't have the time, but people say I can use an AI agent to do it.
When I returned from a recent trip I noticed that the google stats said the cumulative page views of my blogs exceeded 4 million in the last week or so.
Maybe we can reach 5 million by September 22, 2025.
That means everyone who reads one of my blogs should share it widely on social media.

Besides this one, the most popular blogs are:

For overall resources, the best site is Museum of the Book of Mormon:
