Freemasonry- Can a Christian be a mason?

[Jamesone5]

After all the degree work, became a Master Mason in 1995 after the urging of my Dad because it was a "generational thing", going back at least five generations on my Dad's side. Found the rituals and the even the oaths very easy to remember and recite, which in itself was very curious to me--almost like it all just rolled off the tongue. Was growing in my own Christian Faith at this time and I really started to have questions about Masonry in general, starting with the ritual that portrays Hiram Abiff {Soloman's chief architect] being raised from the dead, after being murdered. As I recall, I believe that is part of the 3rd degree of Masonry. I remember being in a Master's Club competition one night where different Lodges came together to perform the 3 different degrees with all the rituals and felt a vivid darkness and a coldness that night in which I believe the Holy spirit was telling me to get away from my affiliation with Masonry----which I did. Burned my ritual code book and have never gone back to any Lodge meetings since then.

The real question these days is is there anything you can be or do and not be a Christian.

Your reply is very apt and very well put. I had known the top individual in free masonry is Lucifer but you speak of the consequences to Christian Freemasons.

I wanted to be a freemason for a while, but although there's like 3 men's lodges in my city, there's no women's or mixed lodges anywhere around here. Stupid sexists.

Do these guys still bow down to some guy called the "worshipful master"?
Im pretty sure that breaks the Law, both Old and New.

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

 

[YosefHayim]

Pretty much you're asking if Christians can be satanists.

Here are some passages of Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike. 33rd Degree Mason:

Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion.
For here are inculcated disinterestedness, affection, toleration, devotedness, patriotism,
truth, a generous sympathy with those who suffer and mourn, pity for the fallen, mercy for
the erring, relief for those in want, Faith, Hope, and Charity...

Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its
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. So God Himself
incapacitates many men, by color-blindness, to distinguish colors, and leads the masses
away from the highest Truth, giving them the power to attain only so much of it as it is
profitable to them to know. Every age has had a religion suited to its capacity.

Sounds a bit like the Jehovah's Witnesses. They are a religion that lies to it's followers.

This contains a lot of documents on Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, Knights Templar, and Illuminati.



GALATIANS 1:8-9
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

I think the real reason why a Christian should not join lies on the very reason they are joining: the benefits.

Talk about that.

Another one is the higher rank cults.

"One body, one Spirit"

 

[OmarStFollower]

I may add, a lot of Christian churches in the U.S. are funded by them. I think the main topic here should be:

"What does it mean to be a mason"

"One body, one Spirit"

Seems they just use religion, whatever religion, to coverup their own ungodly agenda. Those I have known have been some of the most ungodly behind closed doors and always kept up the outward appearance of living moral lives.

I'd never join a club that would accept me as a member.
