Freemasonry

THE SITUATION:

  • That some fellow Christians are also members of the Masonic Lodge.
  • We all know the high profile of the Masonic Organisation, its social acceptance, the good works of the Shriners and the prominent people that belong as members. In the secular world it is a fraternity into which many people seek membership.
  • The question that should be asked is, "How does God see this organisation in the light of his scriptures" and "Would He want you to take oaths binding yourself to Freemasonry?"
  • Freemasonry claims that the Holy Bible is a part of the furniture of the Lodge and is one of its great lights, together with the square and the compass. The Holy Bible always lies open on the Masonic Altar when the Lodge is in session.
  • Upon close examination of Freemasonry and the Holy Bible, the situation that comes into focus is that the Holy Bible actually condemns the teaching of Freemasonry, even though it is placed on the Masonic Altar.
  • Many organisations carry the Holy Bible, but do not follow its teachings, such as the Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Unity School of Christianity, Christian Science and Freemasonry. Those organisations redefine biblical terms and then use the Holy Bible as a cover-up in an attempt to conceal their true philosophy. Can a Christian who accepts the Holy Bible as the only true revelation of God to man, really stay on as a member of a Masonic Lodge if the truth about Freemasonry were pointed out to him?
  • I, David Didow, a fellow Christian, was a Freemason for twenty eight years and was initiated into the Scottish Rite and the Eastern Star, and was a Worshipful Master of my Masonic Lodge. As a carnal Christian, I did not see the deception until after I was born again and the Holy Spirit began to work in my life and I was shown the deception I was involved in. After my conversion, I told my pastor that I was a Mason. He laid no guilt trip on me but just said, "If I were you, I'd look into it." And that I did. For seven years I have been researching and studying Freemasonry and this paper is the result of my study. As a fellow-Christian, I am saddened to know that other fellow believers are being deceived by the fine sounding teachings of Freemasonry.
