<dl><dd> | Freemasonry is one of many apostate religions dedicated to the destruction of traditional Judaism and Christianity. Those who aspire to grow in their closeness to Jesus Christ, and to increase their discernment in these days, would do well to stay very clear of Freemasonry. Are your loyalties with Jesus Christ or are they with the lodge? Both are diametrically opposed to one another as you will see below. | | |
Masons have mixed idolatry, paganism, the occult, Kabala, fertility cults, Satanism, spiritualism, demonology, and put it into a blender and come up with the Masonic religion. It is not of God! It is a false religion; the Harlot of Babylon. Masons say they offer new candidates "the light". The light they are actually giving is: Lucifer. The Christian Bible says that Satan walks to and fro on this earth masquerading as an "angel of light", that many might be deceived.
As occultist Benjamin Creme states, "in Freemasonry is embedded the core or the secret heart of the occult mysteries, wrapped up on number, metaphor, and symbol"... Unknown to most Masons, there is an occult side to Masonry. It is at levels in Masonry that most Masons never get to.

During his initiation into Palladium Masonry William sadly admits to standing with Masons, some who were also Satanists and chanting; "Glory and Love for Lucifer! Hatred! Hatred! Hatred! to God accursed! accursed! accursed!". He says that hashish provides some of their "illumination", taking after the 1st "Illuminati" 18th century Mason Adam Weishaupt.
During the Palladium "program" William tells how Masons promised to surrender themselves body and soul to Lucifer, usually for 7 years, and Lucifer promised to grant them all their worldly desires.
Through drugs and occult William says that they practiced opening the "Third Eye" which when opened completely flooded their brains with the "pure" consciousness of Lucifer himself--which is Satan's counterfeit of the Christian's "being born again". He says one would then look at the world and people as Satan does.
William says that as this degree progressed, they had conversations with the dead and then went on to "marrying" the dead when the demons ultimately possessed them entirely to a point that "there is no longer anyone home" in the host body. William says he experienced being linked mentally into a "vast spider web" of communication as part of an invisible army of slaves almost totally dependent on Satan. |

The Secret of Masonry is this: As a Mason you will be led and hoodwinked into believing there is useful knowledge to be learned in Masonry. This is the "hook", and in each level you will be disappointed with these so-called Secrets, which are all frivolous, made up, and insignificant. This so-called "knowledge" will also be monetarily costly, and very time consuming -- away from your family. It is the lure of curiosity and nothing more that will be satisfied by Masonry.
You will be made to "swear" things and take "solemn oaths"; and in doing so, to act against your conscience as both a Christian and an American. These oaths and pledges will in time act upon your conscience in such the same way as a Christian who has knowingly taken the mark of the beast. At some point it will dawn on you that you have chosen the lodge, the occult and Satan over the Lord Jesus Christ. When you notice there is a complete "black out" of even the mention of Jesus Christ in your lodge, you will feel trapped because of all the "solemn Masonic oaths" you had made, without knowing in advance of just what you were in for. Your "swearing" to keep Mason secrets is forbidden by the Word of God to "Swear not at all". Yet diabolically, you may be asked to do this with your hand on a Bible and a compass & square. Your oaths will be awful, and you will need to pledge to keep undefined secrets. And you will pledge to maintain these frivolous secrets under the penalty of death. This is an extrajudicial oath. And as such, contrary to the laws of the land. Yet you will be enticed to make them. |

As a group they are officially known as the "Free and Accepted Masons," sometimes called the "Ancient Free and Accepted Masons." Most often they're referred to simply as "Freemasons" or "Masons." One main difference between Freemasonry and Christianity is that Christianity holds that Jesus is everything, while Masonry teaches that He is nothing, equal to pagan gods such as Allah and those taught by Buddha. The Bible kept in Masonic Lodges is there just like a piece of furniture. The Holy Name of Jesus is never to be read from it.</dt><dd> </dd></dl> Freemasonry Exposed by one of its top leaders.

How can Christians remain tethered to this blasphemous religion of Masonry? On page 84 Jim Shaw writes; " Albert Mackey wrote (in the Masonic Ritualist), "Thus the trestleboard (blueprint for life) of the Jew is the Old Testament, of the Mohammedan the Koran; the Veda Scriptures of Hinduism and the writings of Baha-ullah are just as good as the Word of the Christians' God, for the fact is that all religions are never as good as the pure teachings of Freemasonry." Masonry teaches that Jesus is no greater than the other "exemplars" of history (such as Mohammed, Buddah, Aristotle, or Joseph Smith). Page 94 33-degree Jim Shaw walked away from Freemasonry one day, after participating in a a Masonic Maudy Thursday "black communion" ceremony in his Scottish Rites Temple in Florida. Participants of this ceremony are required to refer to Jesus as an "apostle of mankind who was neither inspired or divine". They then proceed to mock Jesus further by enacting a strange "black communion" ceremony. Pages 105-107 The "Black Communion" of Maundy Thursday: During this ceremony, Masons blaspheme the Lord. They make an evil, black mockery of His pure and selfless death, and the Lord's will that we take communion "in remembrance of Him." <dl><dt>To elaborate on this, take a good look at Masonry's "Maundy Thursday" ceremony. We call it a "Black Communion" where Masons chant words calling Jesus merely an "apostle of mankind" who was neither inspired nor divine!</dt><dt> </dt><dt>In the Scottish Rite the Thursday before Easter, "Maundy Thursday," is an important day. On this day Masons always perform a special ceremony of "Communion" in their local Scottish Rite Temple.</dt></dl> Dressed in long black, hooded robes during this Thursday ceremony, Masons chant: "We meet this day to commemorate the death of our 'Most Wise and Perfect Master,' not as inspired or divine, for this is not for us to decide, but as at least the greatest of the apostles of mankind." 33 degree Initiation Ceremony
Strange Black Mass/Black Communion
as told by ex 33 degree Mason Jim Shaw |
During this ceremony, Masons continue by mocking Jesus' teachings at His Last Supper and the bread and wine (Body and Blood) - by saying:
"Take, eat, and give to the hungry." "Take, drink, and give to the thirsty." One of the Conductors then handed the "candidate" a human skull, upside down, with wine in it. "May this wine I now drink become a deadly poison to me, as the Hemlock juice drunk by Socrates, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate the same" (the oath).
As I had done so many times before, I said, "We meet this day to commemorate the death of our 'Most Wise and Perfect Master,' not as inspired or divine, for this is not for us to decide, but as at least the greatest of the apostles of mankind."
As I spoke these words that I had spoken so many times before, I had a strange and powerful experience. It was as if I were standing apart, listening to myself as I spoke, and the words echoed deep within me, shouting their significance. They were the same words I had spoken so many times before, but had meaning for me now. They made me sick, literally ill, and I stopped. The realization of what I had just said grew within me like the rising of a crescendo. I had just called Jesus an "apostle of mankind" who was neither inspired nor divine! There was a silent pause that seemed to last a very long time as I struggled with a sick smothering within.
Later, when he came down the wide steps of a large Scottish Rite Temple, 33 degree Mason Jim Shaw turned and looked at the words carved in stone above the entrance: "Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", Jim remembered thinking: "It isn't ancient (goes back to 17th century), it isn't Scottish (Scottish rite was begun in France), it isn't free (no females, blacks or poor), and it isn't right (no mention of Jesus allowed)! This 33 degree Mason, never went back. Jim found that the bowing to some "Great Architect of the Universe" and calling all Religions equal is pure blasphemy. He thought of the great Masonic lie that all religions are equal, including Islam and Satanism. If all these religions within Masonry are "correct" or of equal "validity", and each claims to be the valid and correct one. It therefore becomes obvious that they cannot all be "right" or of equal validity. Satanists mock and blaspheme God on a daily basis; and Muslims deny Jesus ever even died on a cross. Islam, for instance rejects that Jesus died a korben (sacrificial atonement) death for us. Islam gives its greatest regard to a man who did no miracles to prove divinity and in no way measured up to the sinless and loving Jesus. Muhammad also made no real prophecies, had everyone killed who disagreed with him, and was fond of splitting up booty from military raids against innocent people. See more in: "Muhammad, Terrorist or Prophet?" These are the Scriptures that Jim, could not reconcile with Masonry:
| Jesus said: "I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst...him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out...and this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:47-54 |

In a well-ordered lodge, Jesus is never mentioned except in vague, philosophical terms. Prayers are never in His name, and when scriptures are quoted in the ritual, all references to Him are simply omitted. For example, II Thessalonians 3:6 is used in the ritual, but not the way it is in your Bible; the words "in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" are entirely omitted. Likewise, the ritual includes 1 Peter 2:5, but with the words "by Jesus Christ" omitted. Albert Mackey, after Albert Pike the highest Masonic authority, calls this changing of the scriptures "a slight but necessary modifucation" (Masonic Ritualist, page 272) 33 DEGREES. What's the significance? The numbers 33 and 3 are both prominently featured in occult doctrine. Ancient mythology teach that the "Sons of man" (Fallen Angels cast out of Heaven with Lucifer?) landed on earth on Mount Hermon. It was then in Phoenicia; now in Israel. Its altitude makes it Israel's primary strategic early warning system. This was the first location of extraterrestrial influence on man. Using the old Paris Meridian, this lies exactly at 33.33 degrees north and 33.33 degrees east. It is also 2012 miles from the equator and 2012 miles from the Paris Meridian. The Paris Meridian is the meridian to which many ancient structures are aligned. The number of nautical miles in 33.33 degrees of the earth is 2012.9. This corresponds to the year, month day that (December 21, 2012) the ancient Mayans believed their calendar would end. Many believe that December 21, 2012 is the date that the "sons of God" will return to earth and establish a new world order. They will be led by a powerful "unearthly" ruler. Will this be the return of the Nephilim through dimensional gates or "stargates"? Will this be the awaited antichrist? Do Nephilim need space craft to enter this dimension? Was Roswell one such craft? Masons believe that this "new age" or "new world order" will come out of chaos. Is "Chaos" beginning now? Will it get more and more chaotic than it is in 2008? Do Masons believe that this powerful unearthly ruler will give them a leadership role in this coming "New World Order" because they have been such good followers? Reference: Nephilim Stargates - the year 2012 and the return of the Watchers, by Thomas R. Horn <dl><dd> | "Masonry makes no profession of Christianity...but looks forward to the time when the labor of our ancient brethren shall be symbolized by the erection of a spiritual temple...in which there shall be one altar and one worship; one common altar of Masonry on which the Veda, Shastra, Sade, Zend-Avesta, Koran and Holy Bible shall lie...and at whose shrine the Hindoo, the Persian, the Assyrian, the Chaldean, the Egyptian, the Chinese, the Mohammedan, the Jew, and the Christian may kneel..." ("The Kentucky Monitor," Fellowcraft Degree, p.95) |
Masons pass unnoticed by the general public. But this wasn't always so. In 1827, the United States witnessed the birth of a third political party. This had never happened before. The new party offered America its first alternative to the two dominant political groups. Like so many third parties to come, this one had a rather narrowly-focused platform. It was dedicated to countering the malevolent and subversive influence of the international cabal known to the world as Freemasonry. It was named the Anti-Masonic Party, and the Anti-Masons were well aware that theirs was an uphill battle. In 1830, John Quincy Adams was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on the Anti-Mason Party ticket. In 1832, the Anti-Masonic Party managed to elect Millard Fillmore to Congress, but their candidate for President received only seven votes in the Electoral College. |
| Letters on Freemasonry, by our 6th President, John Quincy Adams, first published in 1833, is finally back in print. Until now, it was nearly impossible for the general public to obtain a copy of this fascinating book. John Quincy Adams, a devout Christian, was probably America's most intelligent President. He spoke and wrote 7 languages. He mastered the Latin, Greek, French, Dutch, and Spanish languages. He also studied law, and graduated from Harvard University in 1787 second in his class, with high honors. Adams was a determined opponent of the secret society and fraternity of Freemasonry, the Masonic Lodge.
President Adams was convinced Freemasonry was Luciferian, noxious, detrimental and highly evil. So convinced was Adams of the devilish and negative effects of Freemasonry in the affairs of men that the former President of the United States helped to found the Anti-Mason Political Party. In 1830, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on the Anti-Mason Party ticket. It was the tragic murder of Captain William Morgan by a group of Masons in the state of New York in the year 1826 that further heightened Adams' sense of urgency to warn of the dangers of the Masonic Lodge. Morgan, an ex-Mason, had revealed some of the secrets of the Masons-oaths, handshakes and ritual trappings, etc. In retaliation, he was ritually murdered in a particularly gruesome manner, and his lifeless, mutilated body abandoned in a lake.
The facts of Morgan's murder were subsequently covered up by lawful authorities, reputed themselves to be Masons. When evidence ensued that the Masonic Society had assisted the culprits responsible for Morgan's death to elude capture and escape punishment, the event caused a national scandal.

"Freemasonry is deceptive and fraudulent...Its promise is light-its performance is darkness."
-President John Quincy Adams
"Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong-essentially wrong-a seed of evil, which can never produce any good."
-President John Quincy Adams

The Masonic Blaspheme continues: | In the Royal Arch degree of the York Rite, the Companion Captain of the Host is asked if he is a Royal Arch Mason and he replies "I am, that I am." If you remember, Moses, in Exodus 3:13, asked God what name he should give to the people of Israel when they asked what the name of this god is that he brings to them. God replied: "I am that I am." |
"Also, in the Scottish Rite, one of the officer's title is Rabboni which is a name given to Jesus by Mary Magdalene found in John 20:16. The using of his name and combining it with other gods or pagan deities would seem to make any Christian understand that this is certainly blasphemous. |

Masons numbers have been dwindling:
The Masons, by their own statistics, have gone in the 1980's from 4 million members in the world to under 2 million members in 1996 (according to the Dallas Morning News). Lately, the Freemasons have been advertising on the radio and television for more members (lots of dues are important to them). These ads always play up their links to other famous Masons in U.S. history like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. Just as the rank and file Mason is clueless about Masonry today, these early Americans, including presidents were also clueless about Masonry before joining it. They too were hoodwinked by oaths and promises of "Secrets" that turned out to be more frivolous nonsense in each degree. What Masons won't tell you is that in the later years of his life, George Washington showed indifference to Masonry. He even sought to distance himself from Masonry. From Mount Vernon George Washington wrote in 1798:
"to correct an error you have run into, of my Presiding over the English lodges in this Country. The fact is, I preside over none, nor have I been in one more than once or twice, within the last thirty years."</dt></dl> And, that both George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were not very good Christians. Franklin was a Deist. A Deist generally believes in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it. Dr. Priestley, an intimate friend of Franklin, wrote of him: "It is much to be lamented that a man of Franklin's general good character and great influence should have been an unbeliever in Christianity, and also have done as much as he did to make others unbelievers" (Priestley's Autobiography) <dl><dt>Thomas Paine, a Mason, who wrote the extraordinarily successful pamphlet called "Common Sense" during the American Revolution tells us what Masons really teach and believe when he wrote about it:</dt><dd> Paine, like Franklin, was a Deist. He believed in one God, but rejected all religions, saying: "My own mind is my own church." He also maintained an interested in Freemasonry. His pamphlet, Origin Of Free-Masonry, proposed that Masonry's embodiment of the sun worship of ancient Druidism was a legitimate alternative to Christianity. He notes that Freemasonry's god, "...Osiris and Isis, theologically represented the Supreme Being and universal Nature..." Paine wrote in his famous "The Age of Reason": "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my church. "
</dd></dl> Karl Marx, Lenin and Trotsky, were all Freemasons. Essentially these three were all dysfunctional losers who were employed by the Illuminist bankers to hoodwink the masses. Lenin for example had been an unsuccessful lawyer who had only six cases in which he defended shoplifters. He lost them all. A short time later he gave up the law to become a highly paid revolutionary. Lenin declared: "Peace means quite simply the domination of Communism over the entire world." His reign of terror caused nine million deaths but you never see him compared to Hitler. 1.7 million people were murdered in Russia during the 1918-1919 period, including 300,000 priests.
"A river of blood flowed through Russia". "According to official Soviet Reports, 1,695,904 people were executed from January 1921 to April 1922. Among these victims were bishops, professors, doctors, officers, policemen, lawyers, civil servants, writers...Their crime was 'anti social thinking' " <dl><dt>Christians step out of the light into a new false (Mason) Religion:
For those Christian Masons who doubt they have stepped out of Christianity, you need to read what the great mason occultist Albert Pike writes: "Every Masonic Lodge is a Temple of Religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion." (Morals and Dogma, pg. 213) . Regardless to claims to the contrary, Masons are clearly embedded in a false mystical religious system of salvation through works. Any "God" will do in this Masonic religion, because the Lodge teaches the heresy that it isn't God who saves one's soul anyhow: it's one's own good works.</dt></dl> Freemasons insist Freemasonry is not a religion. However, it is strange that the room they meet in is referred to as a 'temple', the seat the Worshipful Master (the chairman for that year) sits on is referred to as an 'altar' and the ceremonies end with the phrase 'so mote it be' - the same words used in major satanic rituals. A blue lodge always has an altar. Altars are always associated with religious worship and sacrifice. This calls an important question to mind. What does "Worshipful Master" mean? Doesn't it mean what it says --that the so-called Worshipful Master of the Masons is to be worshipped? Shouldn't only Jesus be worshipped? But no, Masons say ALL religions are equal. Christians, see the light! <dl><dd> The lie...
"...salvation by faith and the vicarious atonement were not taught as now interpreted, by Jesus, nor are these doctrines taught in the esoteric scriptures. They are later and ignorant perversions of the original doctrines." (J. D. Buck, "Mystic Masonry," p.57)
"Acacian: a term signifying a Mason who by living in strict obedience to obligations and precepts of the fraternity is free from sin." (A. Mackey, "Lexicon of Freemasonry, page 16). Strict obedience includes not witnessing about Jesus or even mentioning His name in the Lodge.
| The truth...
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." (John 6:47)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) |

Freemasonry: The Trojan Horse In the Church
by Baptist Pastor Pierce Dodson
| "Freemasonry is Satan's Trojan horse, and it is in the Church of our day; and all too often people won't listen to the warnings which are being sounded."
Its true nature is not readily apparent as many fine people do belong to this organization, and of course it is involved in various charitable activities which also give it an appearance of being an upstanding organization. But there is a saying that you can't judge a book by its "cover" (how appropriate a word in this case), and Freemasonry must be understood not by its cover but by the philosophy, teachings, and spiritual forces which lie behind it. What I have to say is not meant as an attack on the men who belong to the lodge. I am not an anti-mason, but I am against Freemasonry, a philosophical system which is opposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. |
Read Pastor Dodson's Testimony: here |
At the Heart of Masonry is Lucifer: High level Masons believe that Lucifer never fell to earth and that Lucifer is really God, and refer to Yahweh by the name of 'Adonay.' Masons say that it is Yahweh that is the god of evil, because he forces men to be subservient to his repressive dictates. Masonic books given to handpicked members of the 32nd and 33rd Degrees, say that Jesus was an impostor, and that Lucifer is the true God. The Masons have their own Luciferian based calendar. Where ours is based on the years before (B.C.) and after (A.D.) the birth of Christ, theirs counts its years with the suffix A.L. means Anno Lucis or 'Year of Light (Lucifer). Masons usually refer to God with the vague and general term "Deity." The god of Masonry can be one of their own choosing, spoken generically as the "The Great Architect of the Universe." Human nature is also worshipped by some Masons as "Deity," as are Knowledge and Reason. | "In his private petitions a man may petition God or Jehovah, Allah or Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus; he may call upon the God of Israel or the First Great Cause. In the Masonic Lodge he hears petition to the Great Architect of the Universe, finding his own deity under that name. A hundred paths may wind upward around a mountain; at the top they meet". (Carl H. Claudy, "Introduction to Freemasonry", p.38). |
<dl><dt>Freemasonry has a plan of salvation which is based on imitation of their savior, Hiram Abiff... New candidates are told that Masonry is based on Hiram Abiff who lost the "secret name of God" while he was building the great pyramid. As punishment he was entombed alive in the pyramid. Masons think that salvation refers to being brought from the material to the spiritual; i.e., when man returns to "his forgotten inherent spirituality." Masons believe that the degree of Master Mason is symbolical of old age, which allows a person to happily reflect on a well-spent life and to "die in the hope of a glorious immortality." Because they deny the reality of sin, Masons see no need of salvation in the Biblical sense. They see salvation as a step-by-step enlightenment, which comes through initiation into the Masonic degrees and their mysteries. </dt><dt> </dt><dt>The fundamental of Freemasonry is the idea that there are no knowable ideas, only mysteries which some people have been given the key to and others haven't. Masons think God likes some and doesn't like others - and that's all there is to it. And we know who we are, and we know who you are. Early on in Freemasonry it was always white protestants (their) god likes. Later, to increase dues, it became, god (their god) likes everyone, with the exception of: women, children, blind, deaf, lame, poor, retarded, slaves or Negroes. Of course the poor cannot become Masons, because they can't pay the dues. Is it a coincidence that those whom Masonry rejects are among the same ones that Jesus was happy to minister to?</dt><dt>
During the initiation for the Master Mason, the Master instructs the kneeling candidate with his hand on God's Holy Word to affirm, and the candidate does affirm that the lodge in which he is kneeling is erected to God and dedicated to the holy order of St. John. Remember this is said in and of every Master Masons' lodge. But is this true? No, indeed, it is mere mockery. The words are a mere profane form. Does not every Freemason know this?
This, and all the following oaths of Masonry, are administered and taken as additions to all the previous oaths which the candidate has taken. (See the oath)</dt><dt> </dt><dt>All that is wicked and profane in the former oaths is indorsed and reaffirmed in this and in every succeeding oath. Thus Freemasons proceed to pile oath upon oath in a manner most shocking and revolting. And is this a Christian institution? Is this obedience to Him who has said "swear not at all?"</dt></dl> You will observe that in this oath the candidate also swears, that "a Master Mason's secrets, given to me in charge as such," * * "shall remain as secure and inviolate in my breast as in his own, murder and treason excepted, and they left to my own election." Now, this section of the oath is very broad, and may be understood to cover secrets of every description. But to put it beyond all doubt whether crimes are to be kept secret, murder and treason are excepted, showing that the oath has respect particularly to concealing the crimes of a Master Mason. He may commit Theft, Robbery, Arson, Adultery, Rape, or any crime whatever, Murder and Treason excepted, and however well the commission of these crimes may be known to a Master Mason, if a Master Mason has committed them, he is under oath to conceal them. <dl><dd> | Even within Masonry the spirit of elitism, the principle of the superiority of the "chosen few," prevails. Those Blue Lodge Masons who lack the money cannot pursue the higher degrees and the Shrine. And, even for those who can afford the higher degrees and the Shrine, there are offices and positions closed to some who haven't the wealth, nice home or social position required." book "The Deadly Deception", page 148 |
</dd><dt>
Ex 33 Degree Mason Jim Shaw says that this promised "Light" is never found. "The Candidate receiving the 32nd Degree is told he still has not reached the light". Reference: his book "The Deadly Deception", page 156</dt><dt> </dt><dt>This never ending search for more light only culminates with more dues being paid to the Lodge and nothing else; except the realization everything one is taught in the first 3 degrees is a lie. </dt><dt> </dt><dt>Masons - Masters of Denial:
Beware: Masons have mastered the "denial technique". All those who write critically of Freemasonry are "anti's"; and all "anti's" are frauds, liars, zealots, or extremists and cannot be accepted. Their other main tactic is: "baffle them with bee's wax." According to Masonic law and tradition, All non-Masons are, "profane persons". This includes the Mason's wife, children and parents, unless they, too are Masons.
"The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, and their power of forgetting is enormous." --Adolph Hitler, "Mein Kampf"</dt><dt> </dt><dt>The rank and file Mason hasn't got a clue that the goal of Masonry is the same as Satan's and Islam -- world domination. Masons seek this through control of currency, control of major corporations including banking, media, entertainment, and communications. They also work towards this through control of educators and textbooks, and most importantly the infiltration of religions. Major efforts at infiltration have also been focused upon the Catholic (Universal) Church. </dt><dt> </dt><dt>In 1884, Pope Leo XIII said there is a battle raging between "the kingdom of God" and the "kingdom of Satan," and that "partisans of evil...led on or assisted by...Freemasons" are "boldly rising up against God Himself." The ultimate purpose of Freemasonry, Leo said, is "the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and Laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism." Fundamental to Masonry and to naturalists Leo said, is that human nature and human reason "ought in all things to be mistress and and guide." Sincere adherents to Masonry, he continued, "care little for duties to God, or pervert them by erroneous and vague opinions. For they deny that anything has been taught by God; they allow no dogma of religion or truth which cannot be understood by human intelligence, nor any teacher who ought to be believed by reason of his authority."</dt><dt> </dt><dt>Leo XIII also said; Masons "teach the great error of this age --that regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike."
The homosexual agenda, now supported by many Protestant denominations who are now in apostasy, is seen as a means of undermining the faith of Catholics. Freemasons support and promote this agenda. They also support the breakdown of religion through the use of media that is pro-immorality, pro-abortion, pro-pornography, and pro-population control. This latter is already seen as destroying Europe, North America, Japan and Israel through negative natural replacement birth rates.</dt></dl> Most new candidates to Masonry also have no idea that what they are told initially are lies. At the heart of Masonry is a secret Luciferian doctrine which a Mason only comes to understand as he reaches the higher levels.. New candidates are falsely taught that the beginnings of Freemasonry are lost in the "mists of time". Beware: That is just a clever lie candidates easily accept, to be deceived.
Manly Palmer Hall, a great authority on Masonry, writes, "When the Mason ... has learned the mystery of his Craft, the seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands. ..." (Manly Palmer Hall, <cite>The Lost Keys of Freemasonry</cite>, p. 48).
Albert Pike, that preeminent Masonic authority, says that Masons below the 32nd degree are intentionally misled by false interpretations but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. The truth is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry (those of the 32nd and 33rd degrees- Morals and Dogma, page 819). Although they have 33 degrees, only 32 can be earned. The reason is that those who are given the rank of 33rd will be selected from those who have already been 33rd degree masons. They want to be sure that they are choosing someone who will be "one of the boys".

Albert Pike, the Boston-born one time Confederate Civil War General, and some say a leader of the Klu Klux Klan -- intended the degrees leading up to the thirteenth degree to serve as a training school to gradually condition and prepare the candidate for the ultimate acceptance of Luciferian initiation. In Masonry, every thing has a double meaning. Thus, the Mason candidate is practicing occultism throughout his degrees without knowing it. False interpretations are given to keep him from suspecting the institution to be anything less than noble and upright in purpose.
This deception, this false interpretation is called allegory. Allegory is defined as; something where the language is one thing and the meaning is another.
Masons practice the virtues of brotherly love, forgiveness, and charity--on the surface. They do this as a ploy, to make their satanic religion appear acceptable and sugar coated --- to the community.
Belief in God (by whatever name he is known to them) is a condition of membership. To receive the benefits of Freemasonry every candidate has to confess his belief in one, eternal and true God, creator and ruler of the universe, and in the immortality of the soul. No candidate for Masonry, however, is to be asked for the particular opinion of his religious belief, so Lucifer as this prerequisite god is quite acceptable. Its members are taught masonry's precepts by a series of ritual dramas, which follow ancient forms and use stonemasons' customs and tools as allegorical guides. Freemasonry is deep into the occult, and it is also connected with the cult known as Rosicrucian. |

I have mixed feelings about the Masons.
When my father was 9, his mother died. He was boarded at the county poor farm where the couple in charge were involved in the Masons. They were kind to him. After going out on his own at age 11 to support himself, he stayed connected.
My mother was a Penecostal. My father was a Mason. The Masons gave my father what the Penecostals gave my mother. It drove them apart in some ways. It made my father a better person. He was a man who never had a childhood, yet he delighted in giving free tickets to children so they could see the Shrine Circus. While he spent a great deal of secret time with them, I would have to say that it was not hurtful in the big picture. It only helped him.
In the end, when he died, he had a funeral that included both the Masons and the Penecostal minister. For, at the end, he made his peace with Jesus. I always wondered if that were the minister pushing...and my sister. I was probably the one that said that how could they exclude the Masons...that was a huge part of who he was.
I think he was disappointed that among his six children, there was not a single Job's Daughter of DeMolay Boy (SP?). But, he also never forced us to do it. It was there. He wanted us to be interested...or not.
Later, my mother joined Eastern Star...when he was a Shriner.
My mother was a Penecostal. My father was a Mason. I married a Catholic...and converted! HA!
Thanks for this article, gave you a 10.
No disrespect to Heidi...
Also, it isn't just about branding... Satan doesn't care who you worship or what you replace God with... as long as you substitute SOMETHING in His place. Heck it could be any hobby, any person, any god that takes away from you submitting your life to Him. That is all he cares about. He uses subtle methods to draw us away from our Creator. That's what I was trying to convey. I was in no way drawing a connection between committing suicide and free masonry... I was just trying to depict how Satan works. He doesn't come to people and tell them to do something that is so overtly offensive to our senses that we would never even entertain the idea. He does it very subtely over time. We entertain the thought... he moves to the next level.
Anyway... no disrespect to your Dad, Ellie. I just don't think he realized what was behind the "brand."
when I tried to look up John Quincy Adams's quote: ""Freemasonry is deceptive and fraudulent...Its promise is light-its performance is darkness."
all I got was two hits in google, one was the "BIBLE PROBE" and another was a personal website"
"This is an extensive examination of Secret Societies from their origins in Dravidia leading to the Illuminati and New World Order, which includes several Muslim deviations related to the Fatimids, Sufism, Batinis, and the collusion of the Muslim Brotherhood with Fascism and Freemasonry."
I think it's way over the top Kim and you surprise me with it.
but you are entitled to your opinions of course.
If you want to know about Freemasonry read 'THE HIRAM CODE', but be advised that you might learn as more about Roman Christianity than you really want to know.
surrrre.
When the SIMPLEST investigation places a far richer definition at hand.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deist
"Deism is a philosophical belief in the existence of a God on the basis of reason, and observation of the natural world alone. Deists generally reject the notion of supernatural revelation as a basis of truth and religious dogma. These views contrast with the dependence on divine revelation found in many Christian,[1] Islamic and Judaic teachings.
Deists typically reject most supernatural events (prophecy, miracles) and tend to assert that God (or "The Supreme Architect") has a plan for the universe which that Architect does not alter either by intervening in the affairs of human life or suspending the natural laws of the universe. What organized religions see as divine revelation and holy books, most deists see as interpretations made by other humans, rather than as authoritative sources.
Deism became prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Age of Enlightenment, especially in the United Kingdom, France and the United States, mostly among those raised as Christians who found they could not believe in either a triune God, the divinity of Jesus, miracles, or the inerrancy of scriptures, but who did believe in one god. Initially it did not form any congregations, but in time deism strongly influenced other religious groups, such as Unitarianism and Universalism, which developed from it. It continues to this day in the form of classical deism and modern deism..."
It's also rather ironic that most Christians claim that this nation was founded as a Christian nation. Yet, all the founding fathers were masons. How do you reconcile that?
Cults are built on this and so is most religion.
In actual truth, Christianity is not a religion. It is a personal relationship with the Spirit of God.
Again I will state that many men have been lured into the masons during vulnerable points in their lives, and aren't aware at the onset of the satanic aspects. They continue attending church as they always have.
exception of being quite concerned with the growth
of neo-nazism in America and the increasing role of
evangelical Christian fundamentalists in shaping
America's social, political, and economic climate.
Though I never joined, I am descended from Mason's,
and not succeptible to anti-Masonic propaganda
by churches that label freemasonry as a "competing"
church, and articles such as the above that attempt
to characterize freemasonry as a "satanic" order.
My comment to Kim is, "Why would anyone read the
quotes that you posted and decide anything? What
Kim is doing is encouraging the attack on organizations
based on rational thought as opposed to Christian
faith. Truth is, the people should thank God organizations
like the Masons are still "allowed" to exist. When the
day comes that Masonic lodges are no longer "tolerated,"
we can rest assured that a totalitarian government is
around the corner.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is inconceivable to me, having
lived my life enjoying the freedoms and democracies of this
country, that there are still those who seek to denigrate
and demonize the architects of this society, many of whom
were Masons. Again, Masonry means rationality, on the square,
and trust, brother to brother. I am not surprised the brethren
of Rome and the bible bangers of Dayton have a problem. That
doesn't mean I have to listen to them.
Here are a couple of facts, for your consideration:
1) Discussion of religion and politics is not allowed in the lodge.
2) A lodge is basically a trade guild. As such, a group of men
in any town, bonded by trade affiliations or other common
honorable purpose, can elect to form a Masonic lodge and
request a charter. I am talking here about the historical root
of it all.
