Studies of the Book of Mormon, Second Edition, 1992, p. 99 “We see that the prevailing mode of land transport in the New World was by human carrier. The wheel was unknown in pre‑Columbian times.” — B. H. Roberts
Galatians 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
There are so many things in the Book of Mormon that are wrong, it’d be difficult at best to quantify their numbers, let alone the damage it’s done for an entire people group; i.e. Mormons.
Today we’re adding yet another example we’ll be listing in our BoM Research page. One thing that stood out to me were the numerous papers written by Mormon apologists arguing for the existence of wheeled vehicles in Pre-Columbian times. This is obviously a posthumous slam towards BH Roberts’ claim there was no such thing.
While there have been wheeled pull toys in the Mayan culture prior to the Columbian era, there has been no evidence anyone in the Mesoamerican cultures used wheels for transporting anything. See references below for more info. Sadly, the Mormon apologists have gone to great lengths surmising what Joe Smith must have meant when he wrote what he did. Meanwhile, they’ve discredited their premiere apologist.
If you’ve never read Mr. Roberts’ book, I strongly encourage everyone do so!
The tragedy in this saga is of course the Mormon people who cling to their faux gospel that leads them away from Jesus, not to Him.
Pray for Jesus to intervene in the lives of those listening to the lies, as well as those who are perpetuating them!
With Love in Christ;

Hey guys. I am reading a book right now called “Unveiling Grace” by Lynn K Wilder. The book is about her journey from Mormonism. She was LDS for 30 years, had three sons that went on missions, she was also a professor at BYU. The start of her exodus from Mormonism actually began with her son who was on a mission in florida. Her son met a Baptist Preacher that he spent some time with. The preacher told the young missionary to read the New testament. Anyway, while on his mission, the boy accepted Jesus Christ into his heart and turned away from Mormonism. His influence also brought his entire family out of the Mormon church and into a real (Biblical) relationship with our savior. The tree sons of Mrs Wilder, went onto form a Christian Band called Adams road. The band is made up of young people, all Ex Mormons. I am almost done reading the book and trust me, it is avery worthwhile read. It tells a story many of are already very familiar with.
