HOW IS FREEMASONRY INCOMPATIBLE WITH CHRISTIANITY?

The doctrine of "the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man" is the central doctrine of Freemasonry. This doctrine is unscriptural and entirely incompatible with Christian doctrine.

Masonry believes that, because God.is the Creator of all people, all people are automatically His spiritual sons, in right standing with Him. But here Masonry makes a false assumption. It assumes men are in right standing with God simply because He-created them. But the Bible says all men have freely chosen to disobey God and have sinned. Therefore, they are not in right standing with God; they are sinners who justly stand under His condemnation and deserve His punishment.

God created Adam and Eve and gave them the right to obey or disobey Him. Man chose to disobey God and lost his perfect relationship his sinless standing - before God. We today have followed in Adam's and Eve's footsteps, rebelling against God's laws, and we too deserve the righteous judgement of God. Masonry contradicts the Bible and teaches that even though we have sinned and maintain our rebellion against God, God will still honour and reward us.

Masonry holds that God is the Father of every man, regardless of his religious belief. There is a sense in which God is the Father of all men. We accept that the attributes of fatherhood are biblically applied to all people only by virtue that He created mankind.
