Freemasonry is a Non-Christian
Occult Religion
Freemasonry goes by many names, including the
Scottish Rite, Masonry, Blue Lodge, Eastern Star (for women), and Shriners. Historically,
Masonry has had a strong unifying effect on the American black community. Many people who
consider themselves Christians, both black and white, are Masons.
Most people, even many Masons, incorrectly believe that Masonry is merely a fraternal order, like the Lions
Club, Elks Club, etc. Masonry expressly denies it is a religion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Freemasonry is a
non-Christian occult religion that teaches a different way to
salvation and considers Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and all spiritual leaders
to be only messengers of "The Grand Architect of the Universe". The Grand Architect is not just another term for Jehovah.
Freemasonry teaches that there are two
basic Gods: Adonay, the god of the Christians, a god of evil and Lucifer,
a separate god of good. Freemasonry considers the
religious scriptures of all religions to be equally valid.
Masonry has at least 33 degrees (the lowest is level 1). At each
level, a person is given more details, more Masonic 'truth'. Most Masons
never get beyond the first few levels. The higher levels expressly teach that candidates at the lower levels
should not be taught the truth but should be given the
impression that they are being taught the truth. For
instance, the "Lucifer is good and Adonay is evil" is taught at the
30th through 32nd level.
At
the highest levels, Masons take a blood oath to keep each others' secrets including
murder and treason.

The Scottish Rite Third-Degree
Master Mason oath
(emphasis added)
This commits
the oath-taker to commit murder, if necessary:
|
|
I do promise and swear upon
the Holy Bible never to reveal where I
have received this degree . . . and in
failure of this I consent to have my body opened perpendicularly and to be
exposed for eight hours in the open air, so that the venomous flies may eat
my entrails, my head to be cut off and put
on the highest pinnacle of the world, and I will always be ready to inflict the same punishment on those who shall disclose this degree and
break this obligation. So may God help and maintain me. Amen.

Freemasonry is not
compatible with Christianity !
The Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church
prohibits Masons from becoming members of their church. The Nazarene Church
has banned from its membership any person who is a member of a secret
organization. Ever since 1728 Catholics have been prohibited from joining the
Masons. That stance was reaffirmed by the Vatican in 1985 with a
pronouncement that any Catholic who joins the Masons is "in a state of
grave sin and cannot partake in Holy Communion." (In Catholicism, this
means that if the person dies without repenting he will go to Hell.)
The
British Methodist Church condemned Masonry at its General Assembly in 1985.
The Assembly acted on a report of its Faith and Order Committee. That report,
entitled Freemasonry & Methodism,
outlined the occultic nature of Masonry in detail.
The report concluded with these words: "There
is a great danger the Christian who becomes a Freemason will find himself
compromising his Christian beliefs or his allegiance to Christ, perhaps
without realizing what he is doing."

Like
many false religions, Masonry claims to have ancient roots -- Masonic writings claim that Masonry began in ancient Egypt,
before Moses, even back to "the time of Enoch". Other Masonic
writings date Masonry back to "the time of the building of Solomon's
Temple."
According to non-Masons who have researched
historical records, there is no indication of any Masonic types of activity before the Middle Ages. Masonry may have developed out of the
mediaeval trade guilds; but most investigators believe it began in the early
1700's.
Like
many false religions, Masonry tries to evade examination and divert attention
from legitimate criticism by claiming it is the victim of religious
intolerance and persecution and pointing to "good works" in the
community.
IF YOU ARE A MASON, YOU NEED TO MAKE
A CHOICE.
IF YOU DON'T, JESUS WILL MAKE IT FOR
YOU:
"Depart from me you workers of inequity. I never knew you."
The question of the Christian stand regarding Freemasonry seems to
confront our ministry at every turn lately. Because I have seen the exact
parallels of the Masonic legends and rituals carried throughout the
"mysteries" of Mormonism, I have had to study deeply into Masonic
origins, purposes and doctrine.
In doing so, I have had to come to grips with the sad fact that the
esoteric doctrines of Freemasonry separate it, just as unequivocally as do
those of Mormonism, from the Christian theology. this holds true for every
branch of Masonry, from the Shriners to the Blue Lodge, the Eastern Star, the
Demolay, Job's Daughters and the Rainbow Girls! It holds true for the
Scottish rite or York rite!
I know that this will cause offense to many Masons, and for that I
am truly sorry. But I would rather that the Mason be offended at me and be
restored to true fellowship with Jesus Christ than to remain silent any
longer.
This word of warning is not to the Masonic fraternity at large, but
to those Masons who claim to be both Masons and Christians!
A recent newspaper insert, called "FREEMASONRY - A WAY OF LIFE" appeared in
many metropolitan areas. It pictured Freemasonry as a family-centered,
fraternal, benevolent organization, "as American as apple pie!"
(page 7)
Not only does the article demonstrate the strength of Freemasonry
among our political leaders (both past and present), but makes much of its
use of the Holy Bible and its foundational belief in God. Masonry has a very
strong representation in the Christian denominations throughout the world. In
many of the churches we visit, I find Masons involved as deacons, elders,
board members and even pastors.
Their claim and the claim of every Mason to the outside world is
that Masonry and Christianity are totally compatible. They tell me that
religion is the experience of relating to God, and Masonry the experience of
relating to mankind. While separate, they can and do naturally coexist.
The article mentioned above explains its "religious"
position this way, "Masonry is NOT a religion in any sense of the word, yet it is
religious. Church membership is not a requirement, yet membership in ANY
church is no bar to admission. There is nothing in the requirements of
Masonry to prevent a Catholic, a Mohammedan, a Jew, a Buddhist, a Protestant,
a Mormon, or any member of any religion from becoming a member." (page
3)
On the surface, this might seem quite reasonable. I find no offense
in being involved in social, civic and benevolent activities with people of
other religious backgrounds. In fact, it's really an integral part of the
excitement of life! But, when it comes to my own personal worship of God, and
His revelation to me of His Word, there are some very clear guidelines!
If Freemasonry is truly what it professes publicly, then
"Bravo!"; it is a welcome fellowship. If it is being deceptive,
then it should be exposed. It is simple.
Let's see what Masonry TRULY teaches within its closed doors, and
through its own published documents. NO "anti-Masonic" publications
will be cited in explaining their TRUE theological position.
The key document from which I quote is the most readily available
and universally approved doctrinal book of Freemasonry, "Morals and
Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,"
By Albert Pike, Grand Commander, 1859-1891. Its title page states that it was
prepared for the "Supreme Council of the Thirty-Third Degree and Published by its
Authority." Originally published in 1871, I have used the 1966
Edition. Except where other sources are noted, I cite page numbers only when
using this work. Emphases within quotes are my own.
Custodian of
Truth
(Masonry) "The custodian and depository (since Enoch) of the
great philosophical and religious truths, unknown to the world at large, and
handed down from age to age by an unbroken current of tradition, embodied in
symbols, emblems and allegories." (page 210)
A Religious
Institution
"Masonry, is in every sense of the word, except one, and that
its least philosophical, an eminently religious institution - that it is
indebted solely to the religious element which it contains for its origin and
for its continued existence and that without this religious element it would
scarcely be worthy of cultivation by the wise and
good."..."Freemasonry is NOT Christianity not a substitute for
it"..."But the religion of Masonry is not sectarian. It admits men
of every creed within its hospitable bosom, rejecting institutions; and on
this ground mainly, if not alone, should the religious Mason defend it."
(Encyclopedia of
Freemasonry, Albert G. Mackey, Revised Edition, 1921, pages 618, 619)
The
Foundation of Religion
"It [Masonry] is the universal, eternal, immutable religion,
such as God planted it in the heart of universal humanity. No creed has ever
been long-lived that was not built on this foundation. It is the base and
they are the superstructure." (page 219)
Temple of
Religion
"Every Masonic Temple is a Temple of Religion, and its teachings
are instructions in religion." (page 213)
Buddha the
First Legislator
"The first Masonic legislator whose memory is preserved to us by
history, was Buddha, who, about a thousand years before the Christian era,
reformed the religion of Manous." (page 277)
Reverences
all Reformers
"It [Masonry] reverences all the great reformers. It sees in
Moses, the lawgiver to the Jews, in Confucius and Zoroaster, in Jesus of
Nazareth, and in the Arabain Iconoclast, great teachers of morality, and
eminent reformers, if no more; and allows every brother of the order to
assign to each such higher and even divine characteristics as his creed and
truth require." (page
525)
Not
Creed-bound
"The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine
illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal:
Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the
light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every
altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer
understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth." (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall,
33rd, page 65, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co. Richmond, Va., 1976.)
The Baalim
"Masonry, around whose altars the Christian, the Hebrew, the
Moslem, the Brahmin, the followers of Confucius and Zoroaster, can assemble
as brethren and unite in prayer to the one God who is above ALL the Baalim,
must needs leave it to each of its initiates to look for the foundation of
his faith and hope to the written scriptures of his own religion." (page 226)
The word, Baalim, is simply defined as "false god or
idol." The Masonic author has included the God of the Christian in that
category.
The Source
of All Good
"Everything good in nature comes from OSIRIS - order, harmony,
and the favorable temperature of the seasons and celestial periods." (page 476)
Osiris was the ancient Egyptian god whose annual death and
resurrection personified the self-renewing vitality and fertility of nature.
"The All Seeing Eye" is a Masonic representation of Osiris.
Masonry
Conceals its Truths
"Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism
and Alchemy, CONCEALS it secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the
Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to
mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it
calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those
who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it." (pages 104-105)
The Blue
Lodge to be Deceived!
"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the
Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is
intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he
shall understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine he
understands them." (page
819)
Worshipful
Master the Source of Light
"Worshipful Master: The Head and Chief of the Lodge, the Source
of Light, of Knowledge and instruction in Masonry. He personifies the Sublime
Art of Masonry and is the Spokesman thereof." (Arthur Waite, A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry,
1970, page xxiv)
Obedience
the First Rule
"The first duty of every Mason is to obey the Mandate of the
Master...The order must at once be obeyed; its character and its consequences
may be matters of subsequent inquiry. The Masonic rule of obedience is like
the nautical, imperative: 'Obey orders, even if you break owners'." (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert Mackey, page
525)
The
Incomprehensible Bible
"The teachers, even of Christianity, are, in general the most
ignorant of the true meaning of that which they teach. There is no book of
which so little is known as the Bible. To most who read it, it is as
incomprehensible as the Sohar." (page 105)
The
Incomplete Bible
"All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and
return to it. Everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of the
Illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed
from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their secrets and
their symbols.
"The Kabalah alone consecrates the Alliance of the Universal
Reason and the Divine Word...
"The Bible, with all the allegories it contains, expresses, in
an incomplete and veiled manner only, the religious science of the Hebrews.
The doctrine of Moses and the Prophets, identical at bottom with that of the
ancient Egyptians, also had its outward meaning and its veils.
"The Hebrew books were written only to recall to memory the
traditions; and they were written in symbols unintelligible to the
profane...thus was a second Bible born, unknown to, or rather uncomprehended
by, the Christians; a collection, they say, of monstrous absurdities.
"One is filled with admiration, on penetrating into the
Sanctuary of the Kabalah, at seeing a doctrine so logical, so simple and at
the same time so absolute." (pages 744-745)
The "Kabalah" is a book of ancient Jewish mysticism and
magic.
DEITIES OF MASONRY
The Energies
of Lucifer
"When the Mason learns that the Key to the warrior on the block
is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the
Mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of LUCIFER are in his hands and
before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly
apply [this] energy." (Lost
Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, page 48)
Yes, Lucifer
is God
"That which we must say to the crowd is - We worship a God, but
it is the God that one adores without superstition.
"To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that
you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees - The
Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees,
maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine.
"If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the
Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man,
barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate
him?
"Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the
eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without
ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two
gods: darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil as the pedestal
is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.
"Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and
pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay;
but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against
Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil." (Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, Albert Pike,
Grand Commander, Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, July 14, 1889.
Recorded by A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie
Universelle, page 588)
The Word of God, the Bible, clearly puts Lucifer in his proper
place, and gives God's reasons. "How Art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken
the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will exalt my throne above
the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north. I will ascend above the clouds; I will be like the most
High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." (Isaiah
14:12-15)
The Grand
Architect of the Universe
Masonic ritual is concerned with the recovery of the "Lost
Word," presumed to be the name of God - supposedly lost through
the murder of the architect, Hiram Abiff, during the building of Solomon's Temple.
This quest is attained during the ritual of the ROYAL ARCH DEGREE. It is here
that the SECRET NAME of the DEITY OF MASONRY is revealed. That name is "JAOBULON."
"JAO" is the Greek word for Jehovah. "BUL" is a rendering of the
name, BAAL. "ON"
is the term used in the Babylonian mysteries to call upon the deity "OSIRIS"!
The secret ritual book of the Craft prints the letters J.B.O. It
states that: "We
three do meet and agree - in peace, love and unity - the Sacred Word to keep
- and never to divulge the same - until we three, or three such as we - do
meet and agree." Thus, no Royal Arch Mason can pronounce the
whole sacred name by himself!
What you see represented, then, as the god of Freemasonry, is a
three-headed monster so remote from the Christian trinity and so blasphemous
as to damn the eternal soul of anyone who would dare to pronounce its name in
a ritual of worship!
The God of
the Mystic Shrine
The candidates for this ritual kneel at the ALTAR OF OBLIGATION with
arms bound, leaning upon the top, heads bowed. There they are required to
"assume a most powerful and binding oath, inseparably uniting yourself
with us, and once taken, it can never be retracted or departed from."
The oath itself is curse enough, being four pages in length. Its
penalty includes "having my eyeballs pierced to the center with a three-edged
blade."
The revelation of truth is in the candidates' sealing of the oath,
revealing the true nature of the Masonic god of the "Mystic Shrine": ...and may ALLAH,
the god of Arab, Moslem and Mohammedan, the GOD OF OUR FATHERS, support me to
the entire fulfillment of the same, Amen, Amen, Amen. (The Ancient
Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, pages 35-39, Allen Publishing Co.
NY, NY.)
I Am that I
Am
During the ceremonies of the ritual for the Royal Arch degree, the
candidate is asked, "Brother Inspector, what are you?" and he replies, "I AM THAT
I AM." Can you imagine that? When Moses asked God to name
Himself, God said, "I AM THAT I AM" and He said, "Thus shalt
thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." (Exodus
3:14)
Tell me how a Christian can take to himself the Biblical name of the
God of Israel? The God of the Christian faith said, "Ye are even my witnesses! Is there a
God besides me? Yea, I know not any! They that make a graven image are ALL of
them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their
own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed." (Isaiah
44:8, 9)
The Master
Mason - a God in the Making
"Man is a god in the making, and as in the mystic myths of
Egypt, on the potter's wheel he is being molded. When his light shines out to
lift and preserve all things, he receives the triple crown of godhood and
joins that throng of Master Masons who, in their robes of Blue and Gold, are
seeking to dispel the darkness of night with the triple light of the Masonic
Lodge."
"The glorious privileges of a Master Mason are in keeping with
his greater knowledge and wisdom...For Him the Heavens have opened and the
Great Light has bathed him in its radiance. The Prodigal Son, so long a
wanderer in the regions of darkness, has returned to his Father's house. The
voice speaks from the Heavens, its power thrilling the Master until his own
being seems filled with its divinity, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.' He [The Master Mason], in truth has become the
spokesman of the Most High. He stands between the glowing fire light and the
world. Through him passes Hydra, the great snake, and from its mouth there
pours to man the light of God." (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, pages 92, 54-55, Macoy
Publishing and Supply Co., Richmond, Va, 1976)
Friend, there is only one for whom the Father uttered those words
and it wasn't a Master Mason...nor will it ever be so. Jesus Christ is God's
only mediator for you and me. Do not let any MAN ever tell you that he is, or you may become, the spokesman
of the Most High! Further, if you think that God speaks through HYDRA, the great snake, your god
comes right out of the pit!
Other
Teachings and Practices Usurping the Priesthood of Jesus
In the 19th level of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the Initiate
receives the degree of GRAND
PONTIFF. It is during this ritual that the candidate swears an oath of
secrecy and an oath of total obedience "to any Chapter of this degree to which
I may belong; and the edicts, laws and mandates of the Grand Consistory of
Sublime Princes and Commanders of the Royal Secret, as well as those of the
Supreme council of the 33rd degree..."
It is then that the "Thrice Puissant" anoints him
with oil on the crown of his head and says "Be Thou a Priest Forever, after the
order of Melchizedek."
After receiving the password (Emanuel) and the sacred word (Alleluia), he
is dressed in a robe of white linen and given a cordon (a ribbon or sash of
honor worn across the breast) of crimson color, with 12 starts representing "the 12
gates of the "new city, " and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the
twelve fruits of the tree of life, the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve
Apostles." (Scottish Rite Masonry Illustrated, The Complete
Ritual, Vol. 2, pages 26-27, E. Cook Publications, 1974)
It must be pointed out that what has taken place here, is the
Masonic priesthood taking upon itself the Holy Priesthood of Jesus Christ.
That is a Priesthood that can be held by only one person and that one person
is clearly defined in scripture as Jesus Christ!
Chapters 7 and 8 of the Book of Hebrews clearly explains that it was
ANOTHER priest to be raised
up, not a group of priests! This Priest would be our HIGH PRIEST and would be able to save from the Uttermost! He
would have "endless
life"! The holder of THIS Priesthood would be "holy,
harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the
heavens." (7:26) This is Jesus, our Holy Lord and God!
This "ritual" takes Christ's Holy Priesthood from Him, and
the Grand Pontiff boldly puts it upon his own breast! Even the use of
"Biblical" words fails to cover up the adding in of the "signs
of the Zodiac, " a direct alliance with the powers of darkness and a
demonstration of disobedience to God's Word. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12, it says that he who
"useth divination" (consulting the signs of the Zodiac to tell the
future), "or is and observer of times" (which is an ancient description
for Augury or Astrology - again dealing with the Zodiac) "is an
abomination unto the Lord"!
Again, we see a mirror image of Biblical truth. The Priesthood power
of Jesus is given to the deceiver, Lucifer, the true god of Masonry, who
hides behind its mystery, ritual and allegory to snare his prey.
Washed in
Their Own Blood
In the seventeenth degree, or Knights of the East and West, after
the candidates have completed the initiation and after revealing the password
(Jubulum) and
the Sacred Word (Abaddon), "the Senior Warden conducts the Candidate to the
elevated vacant canopy at the right of the All Puissant."
"This is supposed to represent the end of the world when all
good masons receive their reward by being conducted to a throne at the right
hand of the All Puissant, having been purified by washing their robes in
their own blood."
In the lecture which follows between the All Puissant and the Senior
Warden, the Book with Seven Seals - which none but one can open (Rev. 5:5) -
is twisted to represent "A Lodge or Council of Masons which the All Puissant alone has
the right to convene and open."
The Fourth Seal is represented by a skull or "Death's Head" and Masons
are told it "is
the image of a brother who is excluded from a Lodge or Council." The
Fifth Seal is represented by a "Cloth Stained with Blood." The
All Puissant identifies this as a symbol "that we should not hesitate to spill
ours for the good of masonry." (Scottish Rite Masonry
Illustrated, The Complete Ritual, Vol. 1, Pages 453, 457, E. Cook Publishing,
1974)
What a gross misrepresentation of God's Holy Word! First and
foremost, It is Christ and He alone who "hath prevailed to open the book and
loose the seven seals thereof." To presume that honor and power is to
deny Christ, or yet in deeper perversity, to replace his power and authority
with that of the All Puissant, even in the representation of the power to
save and to enthrone. This is the very spirit of the Antichrist!
Again, another clue to the true identity of the Masonic deity is revealed
in the "Sacred Word" of this ritual, "Abaddon." In Revelation 9:11, we learn that "they [the
demons and workers from hell] had a king over them, which is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is ABADDON!"
Blood Oaths
Not of Christ!
Throughout the initiation rituals of the "BLUE LODGES" and
through all 33 degrees of Freemasonry, the candidates are sworn to secrecy by
bloody oaths. Such as is the oath swore by the Entered Apprentice of first
degree, "
...binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut
across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough
sands of the sea, at low-water mark." The Master Mason swears, "...under
no less penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken
from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered before the four winds of
heaven..." (Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry by Malcolm Duncan,
Third Edition, pages 36, 39, D. McKay Publishing Co., N.Y., N.Y.)
Raising the
Dead
It is in this final "Blue Lodge" degree that that
candidate is laid out "in death"and is raised from the dead by the "Worshipful
Master" of the Lodge (representing King Solomon), using the "strong
grip" (or "Lion's Paw")of the Master Mason.
Let no Mason deceive you! We again face this replacement of our
Savior by the power and authority of Lucifer. Paul said that if anyone should
preach any other gospel "than that which we have preached unto you, let
him be accursed." (Gal. 1:8, 9)
The simplicity of the Gospel is this, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you
the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
have preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. for I delivered unto
you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures." (1 Cor. 15:1-5)
The infinite power of Jesus was confirmed by Him when He said, "ALL power
is given unto ME in heaven and in earth." (Matt. 28:18) This
power is His alone! "For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall
reign in life by one, Jesus Christ!" (Romans 5:17)
Jesus was the one who rose from the dead. Jesus is the only one with
the power to raise from the dead. Jesus is the only one who frees us from the
sting of death!
How can a Mason who calls himself Christian allow himself to partake
of a ritual resurrection by the power of Lucifer? This is Satanic! He stands,
having been born again and raised from the dead as a Master Mason, through
the power of the Masonic god, whom the God of Israel cast into the pit!
Masonic
Oaths Above the Law
One the "five points of fellowship," he and his "savior"
pass the sacred word, Mah-Hah-Bone.
Also, while in this position, the new Master Mason solemnly vows "3d, Breast
to Breast: that you will ever keep in your breast a brother's secrets, when
communicated to you and received as such, murder and treason excepted."
(Duncan's Rituals, Revised and Complete, pages 35, 96, 120, 121, E. Cook
Publications, 1974)
It should further be noted that in the Royal Arch Degree, the
candidate swears to protect the "brethren, " "Murder and treason
not excepted!" This places the Masonic oath above that of our
courts and our country. What hope would you have against a Mason in a
Criminal or Civil court with a Judge who is a 32nd or 33rd degree Mason? None,
by the nature of their oaths!
Pagan
Communion - Eating the Dead
"QUESTION: What is to us the chief symbol of man's ultimate
redemption and regeneration?
"ANSWER: The fraternal supper, of bread which nourishes,
and of wine which refreshes and exhilarates, symbolically of the time which
is to come, when all mankind shall be one great harmonious brotherhood; and
teaching us these great lessons: that as matter changes ever, but no single
atom is annihilated, it is not rational to suppose that the far nobler soul
does not continue to exist beyond the grave: that many thousands who have
died might claim to be joint owners with ourselves of the particles that
compose our physical bodies; for matter ever forms new combinations; and the
bodes of the ancient dead, the patriarchs before and since the flood, the
kings and the common people of all ages, resolved into their constituent
elements, are carried upon the wind over all continents, and continually
enter into and form part of the habitations of new souls, creating new bonds
of sympathy and brotherhood between each man that lives and all his race. And
thus, in the bread we eat, and in the wind we drink tonight may enter into
and form of us part of us the identical particles of matter that once formed
parts of the material bodies called Moses, Confucius, Plato, Socrates, or
Jesus of Nazareth. In the truest sense, we eat and drink the bodies of the
dead; and cannot say that there is a single atom of our blood or body, the
ownership of which some other soul might not dispute with us." (page 539)
I Exhort
You! Come Out From Among Them
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AND HIS SHED BLOOD AT CALVARY, I EXHORT
YOU WHO CLAIM TO BE A MASON AND A CHRISTIAN, "Come out from among them and be ye
separate, saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you." (2 Cor. 6:17)
"This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved." (Acts
4:11-12)
"For there is One God and One Mediator between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus." (1
Tim. 2:5)
"According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
master builder, I have laid the foundation and another buildeth thereon. But
let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can
no man lay that that is laid, with is Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 3:10-11)
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name
which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father." (Phil.
2:9-11)
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hat
light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part
hath he that believeth with an infidel?" (2 Cor.6:14, 15)
