Curious About Something

I think 'Forever Settled' is making a bid for a Masonry Forum on the BB.

Will there be a secret handshake?

 

Probably because the person starting them is genuinely concerned about the number of professing Christians that are involved in Freemasonry.

If, as I am persuaded, Masonry's god is Lucifer, then what fellowship hath light with darkness?
To me, it has more to do with separation than anything.
We as believers have no business getting involved in secret societies, IMO, and certainly not where there are mixed believers and unbelievers.

I researched the subject years ago, and came to some startling conclusions of my own.
Then I went to church one Sunday, and was amazed that there were Freemason symbols on several of the cars.

As for the number of threads?
Dunno, but I happen to agree with much that Forever Settled has to say about it.

 

Things go in cycles around here, it seems. Masonry today, who knows what tomorrow will bring.

 

Every once in a while something comes into the spotlight here at the BB.

Its the subject of freemasonry for the moment. It has been around before.

 

I think that much of that has to do with the fact that many Baptists see no need to come out of the Free Masonry !

 

Then why not interact with those people. It seems like practically zero support for Masons on here, but if we don't all march in step with a certain bandleader, accusations of underhanded support pop up.

I'd be happy if the world was rid of thw whole organization, myself.

 

I've friends involved in the "stonecutters", as I like to call them. I wouldn't join because of the blood oath that is taken.

I discussed this once with a member and he explained some of the beliefs. They call God "GAOU" (great architect of the universe). They claim they are not a religious organization. They openly recruit from all different religions.

When I questioned him about that he stated the M*sons beliefs "transcends" all religions including Christianity.

When I pointed out he appeared to be proclaiming a new gospel he seemed pleased and agreed, until I pointed to scripture that condemned as "anathama" those that proclaim another gospel.

At that point he simply walked off and refused to talk to me again. Ever.

Peace to you.

 

ANY group that teaches and accepts that Jesus is not the Lord, is not the only One that can save lost sinners is under antichrist spirit, no matter how well meaning!

 

Mostly because there is something wrong with a secret society. Which really isn't so secret anymore.They claim they aren't a religious group. However they have there own translation of the Bible they meet in a temple. They use religious terms as well as occult symbols. There secrets were exposed by a man named Aleister Crawly who was a 33rd degree mason. (not sure I spelled his first name right). He explained that He feared for his life because of the oath he took when he joined. Being a 33rd degree mason meant he had progressed to know all secrets of the organization. They claim they are builders and never say exactly what they build. Most who Join do not know everything until they progress.
Regardless of whether or not this man is telling the truth about them. There are other books about masonry that make the same kind of statements. The only way you can join is by recommendation from a member who becomes your sponsor.

I just wonder why the SBC refused to condemn it. Jesus did nothing in secret. And it's forbidden by both Pentecostals and eastern orthodox.

 

I don't really know the answer to that question. I suspect that there are plenty masons involved in all Churches. Most who join don't know all there is to know about them until it's to late. That s usually around the 3rd to 5th degree of rank. Joining can mean a path to wealth because they back each other up financially.With in their ranks they are always favored by there own.

Have you ever read the introduction to the Masonic Edition of the Holy Bible which is designed to inform the reader the true nature of Masonism? If not, find a copy and read it and then come back and let us see if you think there is nothing wrong with Masonism. Hint, in that introduction Masonism claims to be a greater light than Christianity and Jesus one of many prophets no greater and no less than others, such as Mohammed.
