Are Christianity and Freemasonry compatible?

No

Hi,

My husband has been a Freemason for six years. I have always been sceptical and suspicious about it. I have read things online which are mainly negative. My husband says it’s simply little more than a men’s group where they just gather and socialise and most of the stuff published online is a load of rubbish. He says it’s harmless. However, I still feel suspicious about it. He has invited me to ‘ladies nights’ which I have not felt compelled to go to and I’ve refused.

Perhaps I’m being unfair and I should go along? He seems to really want me to come along. My husband and I do go to church and we’re both Christians. I guess what I’m wondering is how compatible it is with Christianity. Can anyone give me some insight on this please? Thank you

Hello Welshlady38.
I've heard Freemasons have "secrets" within their organization. I don't personally know if that's true, but if it is I would say it isn't compatable with the teachings of our Savior.
Any real enlightenment we receive from God comes from fauthful servitude. Jesus said the highest seat in his church is the one who is a servant to all.
There's no whispering in that.

Thanks journeyman. This is what bothers me really and I’ve told him that. He said that the secrets are not secrets really and that they’re online and available for everyone to see. Obviously, I can’t stop him from going, that’s his choice. However, I have expressed to him that I’m suspicious and sceptical about it.

I read online that Catholics are completely against it We’re not Catholics but I guess there must be good enough reasons for them to completely disapprove of Freemasonry. What I find strange is that the man who got my husband into freemasonry is Catholic himself.

Hi Welshlady38 and welcome to CF. Haven't been around so much lately to welcome you. just moved into a new house and getting things set up.

I would say that it could be possible that your husband like many Freemasons of a lesser degree than the 32nd or higher degree might only see it as a man's social club. You need to be suspicious and skeptical and keep researching as it is not a Godly club to belong to, but disguises itself as one. I won't fill it all in with details as many will just say it's conspiracy theories, but I have heard the witness of many that were 32 degree or better Freemasons now exposing the evilness of this organization that is kept secret to the younger members for what it truly is all about. These are the ones who now truly witness and testify of Christ in their lives and continue to expose Satan within this organization.

I pray that the Holy Spirit reveals this to your husband and he would find better social clubs within the body of Christ.

Freemasonry is Luciferianism. What For His Glory posted is correct. Your husband is likely just lower level, so he doesn't know what it is really about. Those promoted to the higher levels are eventually initiated into what the true doctrines are.

I would stay away from any involvement whatsoever, and pray for your husband that his eyes are spiritually opened to this eventually. For some men it is not just a social club but also a means of establishing strong business contacts, but those at the top are most certainly not Christians.

Study who Albert Pike was.

A few decent videos that might help. I won't vouch for every statement made in either, but the first will show you some quotes from higher degree masons that make things obvious, and the second does a decent job of explaining some of the beliefs and symbolism:

most certainly not, i had my worries when it struck me that the woman im gonna engage is a feminist- but it is just that, a mindset, which can vary
but the f's, that is a very cursed case you have at hand, i have heard of very diabolic stories from within those ranks and its apparent that they do not support christianity, they are tried to other groups who are as significantly antichrist as possible and they are working through materialism to spawn the antichrist into the world
the closest similarity i could imagine would be that they acknowledge 1 timothy 2:12 as foundation for their structure

i would consider it to be a combination of political conspiracy and satanism. a hard no.

No.

I think you were right not to attend but I also think your situation is difficult. I would really pray a lot about talking to your husband about the view we have of that "men's club." He needs to be open to consider what you say or you will make your relationship strained. Timing might be everything.

Thank you all. You’ve given me a lot of information and I really appreciate you all taking the time to write out a reply. It does sounds like my concerns are justified. My husband is a good man and I really don’t think he realises what it’s all about really. I’ve asked him but he seems genuinely confused himself. He seems to like the social aspect of it. I’ve told him that there are plenty of other ‘mens only’ clubs he can join. It’s hard because I’ve expressed that I don’t trust it and he has retaliated by saying that he finds it hurtful that I have this attitude.

I guess I’ll just have to wait until he comes to the realisation that it’s not all good and that there’s more to it. He thinks I’ve been taken in by all the conspiracy theories that have been published online. The truth is that when he first joined, I knew absolutely nothing about them and I felt sceptical and suspicious then.

A question that comes to my mind is are you passing a judgment without knowing anything about it? I have no knowledge of Freemasons or what they are all about. For this reason, I would not be able to make any kind of judgement one way or another. You say they are a men's only group. If this is correct then how can you possibly have made any judgment about them having never been involved with them?

I am a member of Gideons International. This too is a men only group. Does this mean that we are bad news?

That's probably the main appeal for him.

Yes. It takes discernment, because just like within Satanism, the Mafia, or any other group that demands their membership take blood oaths to secrecy, Freemasonry at the highest levels hides the real truth from the public.

This is why I said study the lives of its greatest leaders. There will be signs on the surface that should be disturbing to anyone who looks into it a little more closely. Several references have been found that Albert Pike was also a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, an organization that lynched black men in the United States simply for being black, and he was deeply racist. It's why there was a separate "Chapter" for black men within Freemasonry, and for a good while blacks were not even allowed into the organization.

But until the Spirit of God enables your husband to see the truth, I'd just keep praying for him that God Himself opens his eyes. Until he sees it himself, that spirit will seek to bring division between you, by vilifying you and those who are telling you the truth, and you don't want to allow it to make you more distant from him, by the Spirit of God you want to overcome that spirit by continuing to draw closer to him.

God bless, and thanks for sharing your concerns.

No contemporaneous evidence directly connect Pike to the Klan the flourished in the 1860s and 1870s. The US Congress investigated the KKK in 1871 and Pike's name is not mentioned in those records.[42]

However, histories of the Ku Klux Klan published in the early 20th century, before the Klan's 1915 rebirth, identify Pike as a high-ranking official of the order. In 1905's Ku Klux Klan: Its Origin, Growth and Disbandment, the author Walter Lynwood Fleming, lists Pike as the Klan's "chief judicial officer".[43] Susan Lawrence Davis, whose father was a founding member of the Klan in Alabama,[44] writes in her sympathetic account titled Authentic History: Ku Klux Klan, 1865–1877, published in 1924, that Pike was personally chosen by Nathan Bedford Forrest to serve as the Klan's "Chief Judicial Officer" and to head the Klan in Arkansas as "Grand Dragon of that Realm."[45] In 1939's Invisible Empire: The Story of the Ku Klux Klan, 1866–1871, Stanley Horn also reports that Forrest appointed Pike and credits him with a surge of local Klan activity in April 1868. Horn says that a pro-Klan poem, "Death's Brigade", is attributed to Pike.[46] Southern Agrarian poet John Gould Fletcher, who grew up in Little Rock in a house that Pike built,[47] also believed Pike was the poem's author.[10]

From the Order of Women Freemasons (UK):

'The Order of Women Freemasons is the oldest and largest Masonic organisation for women in this country and works on the lines of regular male Freemasonry.

'Women of any race or faith can join our Order and must be 21 years or older, be of good character and believe in a Supreme Being. Being formed in 1908 we have some 4,000 members grouped into over 300 Craft Lodges operating in the UK and overseas. Lodges meet a minimum of four times a year and between meetings they may organise fundraising events for local or national charities, plus informal social events.

'Members come from all walks of life - accountants, nurses policewomen self employed, retirees, housewives, teachers, administrators ... just to name a few.

'The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) have, in a statement issued in 1999, acknowledged the regularity and sincerity of women’s Freemasonry, although they do not officially recognise it and their members cannot take part. Many of our own lodges meet in temples owned by the men’s Order and informal relations are cordial and co-operative. Similarly, there is a reciprocal agreement extended to members of UGLE holding their meetings on our premises.'

That folk of any race, or faith, can join the Freemasons - on condition that they are of good character, and believe in a 'Supreme Being' - applies equally to men, of course.

Make of this what you will.

Here is a really good website that I found years ago when I first started digging into the foundation of Freemasonry.

No, Freemasonry is a Satanic Secret Society.


My dad and grandfather were in Freemasonry and because of such the iniquity of idolatry was passed on the me and my children.

I have broken these curses off my family but sadly enough two of my three sons have suffered premature death because of this abominable institution.


The following is taken from the book: Setting Our Families Free From the Curse of Freemasonry By Yvonne Kitchen WORK LIST FOR FREEMASONRY The following is taken from a book called setting Our Families Free From The Curse of Freemasonry by Yvonne Kitchen. Freemasonry is “a false pagan religion that breaks up families estranges wives, engineers subversion and brings sickness to devotees and their offspring.” Charles Finney declared: “it is the most anomalous (abnormal), absurd and abominable institution that can exist in a Christian country!’ it is also antichrist, immoral and blood-curdling! It is a RELIGIOUS SYSTEM totally opposed to Christianity. It is OCCULT PAGANISM. Freemasons practice a form of WITCHCRAFT, the effects of which can be horrendous on their own family members, AND on generations to come. It can effect to the fourth and fifth generations. If there has been Freemasonry involvement in the background of either marriage partner, your home will be under direct spoken curses which may be multiple. Words in the spirit realm are living things, forces that are creative or destructive, blessing or cursing. Satan knows his legal rights! Curses can directly affect the spiritual, physical and emotional lives of your household in every area of our lives. These curses can affect you and your family: emotionally, mentally, spiritually, psychologically, and physically, in career and employment and financially. Death and destruction will be over all of these areas. What belongs to the movement belongs to all of its entrants. It is DEADLY.








JLB

Men of God who have experience in deliverance will emphatically tell us that Free Masons anywhere back in the family line brings curses upon subsequent generations if not renounced and broken by the power of the blood of Christ. The words of pledge given at lower levels are taken very seriously by the enemy even if the men think it’s a game.

No - freemasonry is a very pagan cult. And it fits the traditional definition of "cult" by having multitudes of hidden practices and beliefs.

Now, at the level your husband is at (one of the lowest), it certainly looks just like any fraternal organization. But once he starts getting to higher levels the hidden beliefs and practices which are very pagan and anti-christian will start to be made known to him.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to defend the Freemasons but how do you know these things? Are you a former member that was in one of those "higher levels?"

Just trying to get more clarity for the OP.
