According to Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia all men involved in Masonry must
decide between the inferior Judeo-Christian God and the true God of Masonry:
"Men have to decide whether they want a God like the ancient Hebrew Jahweh,
a partisan, tribal God, with whom they can talk and argue and from whom they
can hide if necessary, or a boundless, eternal, universal, undenominational,
and international, Divine Spirit, so vastly removed from the speck called
man, that He cannot be known, named, or approached."
This quotation makes it clear that the God of Masonry, called The Great
Architect of the Universe and symbolized by the all-seeing eye, is not the
true God of the Bible -Torah (Old Testament).
Kentucky Masonic handbook, the lambskin apron worn by
Masons is described as a reminder "of that purity of life and conduct which
is essential to gaining admission to the Celestial Lodge above, where the
Supreme Architect of the Universe presides."
The Holman edition of the Masonic Bible contains a Masonic Creed that
asserts that "character determines destiny." while The Old Testament put
destiny in G-D's hands.
The former Masonic Grand Chaplain of Pennsylvania summed it up this way:
"The philosophy of Freemasonry is to make man the master of his own destiny,
to show him that there also is an immortality on earth brought by his
actions; that he can, through his own efforts... inscribe his name in the
'Book of Life."
This is not what is in Old Testament.
Consider this quote from the Kentucky handbook:
"All antiquity... believed in a future life... and in a Mediator or
Redeemer... The belief was general that He was to be born of a virgin and
suffer a painful death. The Hindus called him Krishna; the Chinese,
Kioun-tse; the Persians, Sosiosch; the Chaldeans, Dhouvanai; the Egyptians,
Horus; Plato, Love; the Scandinavians, Balder; the Christians, Jesus; the
Masons, Hiram."
IT IS CLEAR FROM ABOVE CITATION THAT:
1. Freemasonry is a religion compared to other religions.
2. Freemasonry negate the elementary Christian believe that Jesus is G-D.
3. Free,asonry accept many Redemeers which makes free,asonry a PAGAN
religion, OBVIOUSLY MOT BASED ON THE OLD TESTAMENT as you clam.
Further, Masonic leader, Jim Shaw, has written that in official
Masonic doctrine, "Jesus is just a man. He is one of the 'exemplars,' one of
the great men of the past, but not divine and certainly not the only means
of redemption of lost mankind."
In sharp contrast, the Bible teaches that Jesus was the unique and only
begotten Son of God - that He was, in fact, God in the flesh.
This is why Christians CAN NOT BE freemasons and they are AUTOMATICALLY
excomuncated from Christianity when they choose to join freemasonry.
Back to Tony Abbot - he left Catholic Seminary after 3 years and accept
FREEMASONIC Rhodes Scolarship.
He also gave his son born out of wedlock for adoption, which CLEARLY shows
he was never a Catholic or any other type of Christian.
He also put his political opponents (leaders of One Nation) in the jail in
mocked trial financed by Chinese from Perth - he did it for money.
He is a thief and liar ... not only him but all Lieberals of Australia fit
the same bill, and some are murderers like Menzies and his Maralinga
experiments team. All Australians for the next 40,000 years are prone to
cancers thanks to Liberals.
But obviously it is above your comprehension to understand that Australia is
the only country in the world who ever nuked own citizens on request from
freemasonic brother Churchill. Saddam Husein was angel comparing to Menzies.
FREEAMSONRY IS ANTICHRISTIAN.Masons are not allowed to pray in their lodges
in the name of Jesus. Yet the Word of God says that Christians are to offer
all prayers in Jesus' name (Colossians 3:17).
Although Masons are taught that the real name of God cannot be known because
it has been lost, those who pursue the higher levels of Masonry are
ultimately told that the secret name of the Masonic deity is Jabulon.
This is an acronym for Jehovah, Baal (the ancient Canaanite god), and Osiris
(an Egyptian mystery god). Can there really be any doubt that Masonry is
steeped in paganism?
Many Masons respond to these criticisms by observing that George Washington
was a Mason and that fourteen of our Presidents have been Masons. But these
facts are irrelevant. No one denies that many good and great men have been
and are Masons.
Others defend the Masons by pointing out that many ministers are Masons.
This too does not prove anything. Many ministers are also members of the
apostate National Council of Churches, and many ministers are unsaved.
Another defense of Masonry is that it honors the Bible as God's Word.
The Standard Masonic Monitor maintains that the Bible is "the Great Light in
Masonry" and even advises Masons to study it diligently.
But this claim is highly misleading.
In actuality, the Bible is officially designated as a piece of "lodge
furniture."
In Utah, Masons place the Book of Mormon on their lodge altars.
In India, the Hindu Vedras are placed on the altar, and in Muslim lands, the
altar features the Koran.
The Masonic attitude toward the Bible is best summed up by an article that
appears in the Masonic Bible that is published by Holman:
"Thus, by the very honor which Masonry pays to the Bible, it teaches us to
revere every book of faith... joining hands with the man of Islam as he
takes his oath on the Koran, and with the Hindu as he makes covenant with
God upon the book that he loves best.
What incredible blasphemy of God and His Holy Word!
Finally, Masons try to defend themselves by pointing to the good works of
the Masonic Order. But again, no one denies that Masons do many good works.
Their good works are just not relevant to the issue. Furthermore, the Bible
tells us that we are to do our good works in the name of Jesus so that He
will receive the honor and glory (Colossians 3:17).
The real issue is Jesus Christ. He calls us to be open about our faith. The
Masons operate in secret. Jesus calls us to refrain from taking oaths. The
Masons require blood oaths. Jesus call us to do all things in His name, to
His honor and glory. Masons do their good works in the name of Masonry and
to the glory of "The Great Architect of the Universe." The Word says Jesus
is "the blessed and only potentate" (1 Timothy 6:14-15).
Masons exalt their temple leaders by calling them spiritual titles like
"Worshipful Master." Jesus said He is the only way to God. Masons argue
there are many roads to God.
If you are a Christian and a Mason, I believe you should repent of your
involvement and denounce the Masonic oaths you have taken. You should ask
God to forgive you for ever having taken the oaths. You should resign your
Masonic membership and rededicate yourself to Jesus and Him only.
Then you should start spending the time you used to spend in Masonry in your
local church working to expand the Kingdom of God.
Good News Concerning the Masons
Masonic membership within the United States has been diminishing rapidly.
In 1958 the number of Masons in the U.S. stood at 4.2 million, or 2.4% of
the total population.
By the beginning of 2005 the American membership had dropped to less than
1.5 million, or 0.6% of the population.
Most Masons today are over the age of 50. The movement is obviously dying,
and we can be thankful for that.
