Is Masonry A Sweet Little Kitty Or Dragon?

When Wieshaupt's order was banned in Europe, it didn't just end all the illuminists that had crept into the membership roles of Masonry, nor all the later added degrees like the Scottish Rite. I've seen a publication by the Rosicrucian order (AMORC) where some of it's higher members were asking about the its Illuminati degrees, if that had any relation to the old Bavarian Illuminati. AMORC said the same thing, that it was not connected because Wieshaupt's order had died out a long time ago. Wieshaupt also said in his papers that if his order were ever discovered, it would go ten times more deeper into secrecy. Just the fact that AMORC has higher degrees named Illuminati degrees should be enough to ring an alarm.

AMORC may be more of a scientific and studious type of occult fraternity, yet it still influences the minds and hearts of the deceived, because it does the same things Masonry does with the one world government goals. Both are actually 'political' type orders in reality, just as the Bavarian Illuminati was too, the lower degrees used simply as a way to hide its real aims of world government.

That statement reveals their political influence upon members to agree with overthrow of Christianity and Christian monarchs. The Church and Christian monarchs stand in the way of subversive movements like world communism and ideas of one world government. Thinking their overthrow is doing The Lord's work shows how deceived and duped a member of one of the fraternities like the Masons can be. How can Christ's Kingdom stand if He be divided against Himself? No, the subversive nature of the Masonic lodges during the French Revolution WERE NOT doing The LORD's work at all; they were doing the devil's work. Not everyone who has studied about the events of the French Revolution have been deceived by Masonic buzzwords like 'brotherhood, fraternity, liberty, equality'.

---The Abbe Barruel's work also stands as another source of documented fact on the operations of the Bavarian Illuminati order's influence within French Masonry during the French Revolution era.

T: There were Masons among the French Revolutionaries. The Illuminati were a short lived order disbanded after less than ten years.
I hear tell by those who study such thing, that the Illuminati is alive and well within the higher ups of the Masons. A SS within a SS. :twocents

I heard Elvis Presley was seen at Burger King in Kalamazoo, Michigan, too, some time after his "death".

Why would I do that? It's not like anyone's mind is going to change. It's a big waste of my time. I've got better things to do than to argue with y'all about what is really going on with satan and how he is presenting himself as the truth and the light.

therefore you admit your arguments consist wholly of unsupported assertions. We already knew that.

the founding (some) of then were masons, that is no secret. I ask tubalcain what level are you.

Level of what?

I'm not saying that all the things that masons do is evil, most are good, but that isnt what gets you into heaven.

Not the topic but no disagreement from me.

Can a muslim be a mason and have the same chance enter into heaven? Without the repentance and acceptance of Christ?

Mormons do good, and so do aethists, that dont mean they will see heaven.


Or that you will either.

This is about masonry, not AMORC. Mention of AMORC is just a deflection to mask the lack of an argument.

Assertions of divine appointment of Kings is just a mask for the exercise of power and control. If what you said was true all it would show is the evil nature of the false god who would create such an evil system.

Who's we? Have you got a mouse in your pocket?


I know the bloody history of the Catholic church and the Jesuits. It's already been written, all that the Catholic church has to stand on their lame excuses and promises that they've changed, they are different now,,, and of course,,,that the bad men have all gone away. It's not true. I see the game.


You are welcome to believe that I am ignorant, or just plain stupid, or that "I've got nothing". You can call me whatever you'd like. I won't concern myself with it. I don't know why I would. Just remember that while you are making all of these unrighteous judgments with NOTHING to go on that you have had ample opportunity to judge what is right.

And the Masonic lodge isn't about money and political control? If you think it isn't, then it shows how well they've deceived you.

John Robison outlined the structure of the Illuminati order's influence within Continental Masonry. He wrote his work as a warning to other Masons, of how original Masonry was being taken over by subversives planted by Wieshaupt's order. He included a structure of degrees and their nature, which the Rosicrucian order also follows. And if I recall, it was you that mentioned the Rosicrucian order also have a Scottish Rite degree. Robison showed in his work the Scottish Rite degree was an Illuminati addition within Continental Masonry.


Assertions of divine appointment of Kings is just a mask for the exercise of power and control. If what you said was true all it would show is the evil nature of the false god who would create such an evil system.

King Solomon was a divinely appointed king, even as his father David was. So what I inferred about divinely appointed monarchs IS true, per The Word of God. Based on your previous response on this point about agreement with the overthrow of theocracy and monarchs, it suggests you believe fraternities like the Masons need to exist in order the check the power of the Church and Christian monarchs. That reasoning aligns with the subversive nature of Wieshaupt's Bavarian Illuminati. With that kind of belief, it reveals why you've come here to a Christian forum.

My suggestion to you, simply as a Christian who cares about the condition of your soul, is that you get out of any such fraternities that exercise a political strategy for world control, or that teaches against Christ's Church and His Word, and against Christian monarchs. Now if you really don't believe our Heavenly Father and His Son are Real, then have a good trip.
 
The Oath of a Jesuit

You know what? I looked into what it takes to achieve knighthood. It didn't take much looking for me to realize that it's a serious commitment and once you are in you can never get out. It's not for me, and I can't imagine why anyone would swear by such things.


M't:5:33: Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
M't:5:34: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
M't:5:35: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
M't:5:36: Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
M't:5:37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

There's one antimasonic clause in there after another, thus providing evidence of the stupidity of the joint Masonic-Catholic conspiracy scare.

KoC was created to provide an equivalent fraternal group for Catholic men after a Pope in the 1860s prohibited Catholics from becoming Masons. While Masons are not intertwined with any particular denomination, KoC is purely Roman Catholic.

There's hardly hostility though in our free society. We march in the same parades and campaign at each other's dinners. And the religious right groups cooperate fully with KoC's involvement in the social issues where they share the same position like abortion.

Christianity and Christian monarchs exist because God has ordained it. And He warned Israel long ago what wishing to have a flesh king like the pagan nations around them would cause. He never promised they all would be just and upright like king David, yet He did give each one the chance to be upright. God is Who sets leaders in power over us, not the Masons. He also allows Christ's enemies to creep in among His people to overthrow when they are rebellious, as it is today. In other words, fraternities like the Masons have no real power of their own, they're simply being used to help bring about a condition on this earth called the great tribulation, which will only last a very short time, since that's what will usher in Christ's return to this earth as KING of kings and LORD of lords. All knees will bow to Him as LORD, as written. There won't be bowing to any worshipful master, nor to false gods portrayed upon the walls inside the temples of paganism.
