I have a neighbor (we will call him Al) and good friend that has become a mason, and now his 18 year old son wants to join as well. Al says that he is a Christian, and his children attended Christian schools. I have talked to Al about his decision to become involved with Freemasonry, and that it is not good. He says that they teach that you must believe in God, and that the things they do are all about God. I find that hard to believe. What does everyone else think?
 
Freemasonry has its roots in paganism and the occult and does not recognize our God, Jehovah as the one true God.

It is an antichristian society and the Bible warns us of taking secret oaths and the darkness of making blood oaths, which they do for membership.

These are only two reasons why a Christian should stay away!
 
It is a requirement to become a Freemason that you have a belief in a god; a certain deity is not specified so you can go with whoever you usually go with, in your case Yahweh. It is possible for Christians to become Masons.

1) Christmas has its roots in Paganism.
2) Freemasonry does not recognize any deity as the "one true God."
3) I know stern Christians that are Freemasons.

I am not a mason. I saw a documentary on Freemasonry that showed the initiation ritual in detail.

what you said is correct but that group isnt exactly kosher with a christian.

for instance why must one swear oaths?
and also what does that thing with jeshballon or the all seing eye have to do with christ?
and also one cant be in the fellowship with demons.

christ is the only way not a way

masons dont believe that.

Most of that I can't answer, as the Freemasons are a private society (I wouldn't call them a secret society because, well, we know about them). If you know anyone that is a Mason you could ask them. I definitely wouldn't trust those "home-made" YouTube videos about them.

To say that a Christian can't be a Mason is just wrong, for I know Christian Masons. If you say that no "true" Christian can be a Mason, than that is just a plain old No True Scotsman fallacy.
 
so christ is wrong when he said this?

i am the way the life and the truth

and there is no other name by which men can be saved?

i know a master mason(3rd degree) and i verified what i said and another former mastermason now a christian informed me of this

look into the symbol of masonry

the carpenters square and the "G' and also the compass
its a symbol that is associated with some interesting concepts

the G is the act of sex the square is the man and the compass is the girl

so we can have christian atheists too or christian muslims

i dont see how one can remain in the masonry and remain a christain
God doesnt share his glory(besides masons call the lord adonai evil and lucifer aka satan good)
nuff said there.
 
I've heard (I believe from the same documentary) that the "G" stands for "God" and those tools are, tools. Freemasonry has it's roots in actual masonry and those are essential tools. This, to me, makes a ton of more sense than your description.

How do you know they call Lucifer "good?"

the former mastermason said it and do you really think the masons will tell you that arent iniated the truth

i had a mason flat out tell me that.

note the all seing eye. in this apron since when do we christian refer to an all seing eye?

and that is called osiris. btw of the egyptian lore and also that washingtom monument is a masonic symbol and so is that all seeing eye on the dollar bill
 
so we can swear under oath and risk of death? that is ok where is that in the bible?

and also why the secrecy? did that documentary tell you about the different levels and then on to the bpoes and scott rites and york rites and also the elks?

all these are related and the order of the eastern star?

By that logic, everything he told you is a lie. If that symbol is supposed to represent sex, I think they failed miserably.

What I am really not understanding here as with the Wicca thread, is why most of you seem to take other religions seriously. If you truly believe that Christ said he is the only way, then joining the Freemasons should be nothing other than an interesting experience, for even if they do worship others, you know that they are wrong.

Freemasonry is Satanic. Christians who have been seduced into membership are now compromised.

a mason for thirty yrs lie? and not him alone? i also asked one that is still one and he verified what i already knew!

i told him what the red lodge was and the blue lodge and what the secret hand shake was and the tatooing of the symbol was to his chest.

he even thought at one time i was in a lodge with my knowledge of the ring that he had
the ring that lets one know that you are a master mason.

I believe you missed my point, unless you are a mason. Here's the logic:

1) A Mason tells you that they lie to non-Masons.
2) You accept that as true.
3) You are a non-Mason.
4) Therefore, everything they told you is a lie.

doubtful when the mason admitted to me that he shouldnt tell me that and aslo the former mason was in did tell what they do and dont

how is that the free mason wouldnt admit that to me if he thought i wasnt near the truth, he even said it to me as i asked him is the truth.

he showed me the masonic symbol burned into the chest and also what the rite was and the ring

i pointed the ring out and he was suprised i knew

he isnt the first mason i encountered

i had a former partner in crime who was one, revealed much to me on some things

so by your thinking its ok to do violate Gods command and become something he does mind

i mean i can to go the mosque and worshipp allah and yet be a christian

its one thing to read up or ask and learn another to practice the darn rite of the other religion

We agree

Could it be Kenneths problem, i wonder...

yes, you can be Christian and be a Freemason. Just like how Buddhists, Muslims, Jewish, Shintoists, Hare Krishnas, Satanists, etc, can all be Freemasons too.

Its not a religion, and its not an organization exclusive to one single religion. Its a club, just like any Fraternity, Sorority, etc. Its the same as organizations like Kiwanis, Opptimist, Soroppotimist, Lions Club, Rotary, Shriners, the Frternal Order of the Elk, et al. For the most part their activities include charities, fund raisers, and community-centered events.

The symbolism behind all of their ritualistic endeavors is the smallest part of their agenda; for the most part, they're more concerned with things like volunteering for youth soccer coach, bringing the cookies and coffee this week, and financing the middle school so they can afford those new computers.

It kind of hurts me when people say Freemasons are evil, but yet, we can see the direct good they do in our communities, while those shouting "its evil!" are doing little or nothing for their own communities, yet, somehow, some people are listening to them for advice on subjects they know little or nothing about.
