INTRODUCTION
The question of the Christian stand regarding Freemasonry seems
to confront our ministry at every turn lately. Because I have seen
the exact parallels of the Masonic legends and rituals carried
throughout the "mysteries" of Mormonism, I have had to study deeply
into Masonic origins, purposes and doctrine.
In doing so, I have had to come to grips with the sad fact that
the esoteric doctrines of Freemasonry separate it, just as
unequivocally as do those of Mormonism, from the Christian theology.
this holds true for every branch of Masonry, from the Shriners to
the Blue Lodge, the Eastern Star, the Demolay, Job's Daughters and
the Rainbow Girls! It holds true for the Scottish rite or York rite!
I know that this will cause offense to many Masons, and for that
I am truly sorry. But I would rather that the Mason be offended at
me and be restored to true fellowship with Jesus Christ than to
remain silent any longer.
This word of warning is not to the Masonic fraternity at large,
but to those Masons who claim to be both Masons and Christians!
A recent newspaper insert, called "FREEMASONRY - A WAY OF LIFE"
appeared in many metropolitan areas. It pictured Freemasonry as a
family-centered, fraternal, benevolent organization, "as American as
apple pie!" (page 7)
Not only does the article demonstrate the strength of Freemasonry
among our political leaders (both past and present), but makes much
of its use of the Holy Bible and its foundational belief in God.
Masonry has a very strong representation in the Christian
denominations throughout the world. In many of the churches we visit,
I find Masons involved as deacons, elders, board members and even
pastors.
Their claim and the claim of every Mason tot he outside world is
that Masonry and Christianity are totally compatible. They tell me
that religion is the experience of relating to God, and Masonry the
experience of relating to mankind. While separate, they can and do
naturally coexist.
The article mentioned above explains its "religious" position
this way, "Masonry is NOT a religion in any sense of the word, yet
it is religious. Church membership is not a requirement, yet
membership in ANY church is no bar to admission. There is nothing in
the requirements of Masonry to prevent a Catholic, a Mohammedan, a
Jew, a Buddhist, a Protestant, a Mormon, or any member of any
religion from becoming a member." (page 3)
On the surface, this might seem quite reasonable. I find no
offense in being involved in social, civic and benevolent activities
with people of other religious backgrounds. In fact, it's really an
integral part of the excitement of life! But, when it comes to my
own personal worship of God, and His revelation to me of His Word,
there are some very clear guidelines!
If Freemasonry is truly what it professes publicly, then
"Bravo!"; it is a welcome fellowship. If it is being deceptive, then
it should be exposed. It is simple.
Let's see what Masonry TRULY teaches within its closed doors, and
through its own published documents. NO "anti-Masonic" publications
will be cited in explaining their TRUE theological position.
The key document from which I quote is the most readily available
and universally approved doctrinal book of Freemasonry, "Morals and
Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, " By
Albert Pike, Grand Commander, 1859-1891. Its title page states that
it was prepared for the "Supreme Council of the Thirty-Third Degree
and Published by its Authority." Originally published in 1871, I
have used the 1966 Edition. Except where other sources are noted, I
cite page numbers only when using this work. Emphases within quotes
are my own.
MASONRY DESCRIBED
CUSTODIAN OF TRUTH
(Masonry)..."The custodian and depository (since Enoch) of the
great philosophical and religious truths, unknown to the world at
large, and handed down from age to age by an unbroken current of
tradition, embodied in symbols, emblems and allegories." (page 210)
A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION
"Masonry is, in every sense of the word, except one, and that its
least philosophical, an eminently religious institution - that it is
indebted solely to the religious element which it contains for its
origin and for its continued existence and that without this
religious element it would scarcely be worthy of cultivation by the
wise and good."..."Freemasonry is NOT Christianity not a substitute
for it"..."But the religion of Masonry is not sectarian. It admits
men of every creed within its hospitable bosom, rejecting
institutions; and on this ground mainly, if not alone, should the
religious Mason defend it." (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert G.
Mackey, Revised Edition, 1921, pages 618, 619)
THE FOUNDATION OF RELIGION
"It [Masonry] is the universal, eternal, immutable religion, such
as God planted it in the heart of universal humanity. No creed has
ever been long-lived that was not built on this foundation. It is
the base and they are the superstructure." (page 219)
TEMPLE OF RELIGION
"Every Masonic Temple is a Temple of Religion, and its teachings
are instructions in religion." (page 213)
BUDDHA THE FIRST LEGISLATOR
"The first Masonic legislator whose memory is preserved to us by
history, was Buddha, who, about a thousand years before the
Christian era, reformed the religion of Manous." (page 277)
REVERENCES ALL REFORMERS
"It [Masonry] reverences all the great reformers. It sees in
Moses, the lawgiver to the Jews, in Confucius and Zoroaster, in
Jesus of Nazareth, and in the Arabain Iconclast, great teachers of
morality, and eminent reformers, if no more; and allows every
brother of the order to assign to each such higher and even divine
characteristics as his creed and truth require." (page 525)
NOT CREED-BOUND
"The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine
illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be
universal: Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he
recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every
shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or
cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all
spiritual truth." (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, 33rd,
page 65, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co. Richmond, Va.,
1976.)
THE BAALIM
"Masonry, around whose altars the Christian, the Hebrew, the
Moslem, the Brahmin, the followers of Confucius and Zoroaster, can
assemble as brethren and unite in prayer to the one God who is above
ALL the Ballim, must needs leave it to each of its initiates to look
for the foundation of his faith and hope to the written scriptures
of his own religion." (page 226)
The word, Baalim, is simply defined as "false god or idol." The
Masonic author has included the God of the Christian in that
category.
THE SOURCE OF ALL GOOD
"Everything good in nature comes from OSIRIS - order, harmony,
and the favorable temperature of the seasons and celestial periods."
(page 476)
Osiris was the ancient Egyptian god whose annual death and
resurrection personified the self-renewing vitality and fertility of
nature. "The All Seeing Eye" is a Masonic representation of Osiris.
MASONRY CONCEALS ITS TRUTHS
"Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism
and Alchemy, CONCEALS it 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." (pages 104-
105)
THE BLUE LODGE TO BE DECEIVED!
"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the
Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but
he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not
intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that he
shall imagine he understands them." (page 819)
WORSHIPFUL MASTER THE SOURCE OF LIGHT
"Worshipful Master: The Head and Chief of the Lodge, the Source
of Light, of Knowledge and instruction in Masonry. He personifies
the Sublime Art of Masonry and is the Spokesman thereof." (Arthur
Waite, A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, 1970, page xxiv)
OBEDIENCE THE FIRST RULE
"The first duty of every Mason is to obey the Mandate of the
Master...The order must at once be obeyed; its character and its
consequences may be matters of subsequent inquiry. The Masonic rule
of obedience is like the nautical, imperative: 'Obey orders, even if
you break owners'." (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert Mackey,
page 525)
THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE BIBLE
"The teachers, even of Christianity, are, in general the most
ignorant of the true meaning of that which they teach. There is no
book of which so little is known as the Bible. To most who read it,
it is as incomprehensible as the Sohar." (page 105)
THE INCOMPLETE BIBLE
"All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and
return to it. Everything scientific and grand in the religious
dreams of the Illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin,
and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah; all the Masonic
associations owe to it their secrets and their symbols.
"The Kabalah alone consecrates the Alliance of the Universal
Reason and the Divine Word...
"The Bible, with all the allegories it contains, expresses, in an
incomplete and veiled manner only, the religious science of the
Hebrews. The doctrine of Moses and the Prophets, identical at bottom
with that of the ancient Egyptians, also had its outward meaning and
its veils.
"The Hebrew books were written only to recall to memory the
traditions; and they were written in symbols unintelligible to the
profane...thus was a second Bible born, unknown to, or rather
uncomprehended by, the Christians; a collection, they say, of
monstrous absurdities.
"One is filled with admiration, on penetrating into the Sanctuary
of the Kabalah, at seeing a doctrine so logical, so simple and at
the same time so absolute." (pages 744-745)
The "Kabalah" is a book of ancient Jewish mysticism and magic.
DEITIES OF MASONRY
THE ENERGIES OF LUCIFER
"When the Mason learns that the Key to the warrior on the block
is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has
learned the Mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of LUCIFER
are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must
prove his ability to properly apply [this] energy." (Lost Keys of
Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, page 48)
YES, LUCIFER IS GOD
"That which we must say to the crowd is - We worship a God, but
it is the God that one adores without superstition.
"To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that
you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th
degrees - The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of
the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian
Doctrine.
"If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the
Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man,
barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests,
calumniate him?
"Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For
the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty
without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only
exist as two gods: darkness being necessary for light to serve as
its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake
to the locomotive.
"Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and
pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of
Adonay; but lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for
humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil."
(Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, Albert Pike,
Grand Commander, Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, July 14,
1889. Recorded by A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et l'Enfant dans la
Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, page 588)
The Word of God, the Bible, clearly puts Lucifer in his proper
place, and gives God's reasons. "How Art thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I
will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will
ascend above the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou
shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." (Isaiah
14:12-15)
THE GRAND ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE
Masonic ritual is concerned with the recovery of the "Lost Word,
" presumed to be the name of God - supposedly lost through the
murder of the architect, Hiram Abiff, during the building of
Solomon's Temple. This quest is attained during the ritual of the
ROYAL ARCH DEGREE. It is here that the SECRET NAME of the DEITY OF
MASONRY is revealed. That name is "JAOBULON." "JAO" is the Greek
word for Jehovah. "BUL" is a rendering of the name, BAAL. "ON" is
the term used in the Babylonian mysteries to call upon the deity
"OSIRIS"! The secret ritual book of the Craft prints the letters
J.B.O. It states that: "We three do meet and agree - in peace, love
and unity - the Sacred Word to keep - and never to divulge the same
- until we three, or three such as we - do meet and agree." Thus, no
Royal Arch Mason can pronounce the whole sacred name by himself!
What you see represented, then, as the god of Freemasonry, is a
three- headed monster so remote from the Christian trinity and so
blasphemous as to damn the eternal soul of anyone who would dare to
pronounce its name in a ritual of worship!
THE GOD OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE
The candidates for this ritual kneel at the ALTAR OF OBLIGATION
with arms bound, leaning upon the top, heads bowed. There they are
required to "assume a most powerful and binding oath, inseparably
uniting yourself with us, and once taken, it can never be retracted
or departed from."
The oath itself is curse enough, being four pages in length. Its
penalty includes "having my eyeballs pierced to the center with a
three-edged blade."
The revelation of truth is in the candidates' sealing of the oath,
revealing the true nature of the masonic god of the "Mystic Shrine":
"...and may ALLAH, the god of Arab, Moslem and Mohammedan, the
GOD OF OUR FATHERS, support me to the entire fulfillment of the same,
Amen, Amen, Amen. (The Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, pages 35-39, Allen Publishing Co. NY, NY.)
I AM THAT I AM
During the ceremonies of the ritual for the Royal Arch degree,
the candidate is asked, "Brother Inspector, what are you?" and he
replies, "I AM THAT I AM." Can you imagine that? When Moses asked
God to name Himself, God said, "I AM THAT I AM" and He said, "Thus
shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto
you." (Exodus 3:14)
Tell me how a Christian can take to himself the Biblical name of
the God of Israel? The God of the Christian faith said, "Ye are even
my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? Yea, I know not any! They
that make a graven image are ALL of them vanity; and their
delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own
witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed."
(Isaiah 44:8, 9)
THE MASTER MASON - A GOD IN THE MAKING
"Man is a god in the making, and as in the mystic myths of Egypt,
on the potter's wheel he is being molded. When his light shines out
to lift and preserve all things, he receives the triple crown of
godhood and joins that throng of Master Masons who, in their robes
of Blue and Gold, are seeking to dispel the darkness of night with
the triple light of the Masonic Lodge."
"The glorious privileges of a Master Mason are in keeping with
his greater knowledge and wisdom...For Him the Heavens have opened
and the Great Light has bathed him in its radiance. The Prodigal Son,
so long a wanderer in the regions of darkness, has returned to his
Father's house. The voice speaks from the Heavens, its power
thrilling the Master until his own being seems filled with its
divinity, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased.' He [The Master Mason], in truth has become the spokesman
of the Most High. He stands between the glowing fire light and the
world. Through him passes Hydra, the great snake, and from its mouth
there pours to man the light of God." (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry,
Manly P. Hall, pages 92, 54-55, Macoy Publishing and Supply Co.,
Richmond, Va, 1976)
Friend, there is only one for whom the Father uttered those words
and it wasn't a Master Mason...nor will it ever be so. Jesus Christ
is God's only mediator for you and me. Do not let any MAN ever tell
you that he is, or you may become, the spokesman of the Most High!
Further, if you think that God speaks through HYDRA, the great snake,
your god comes right out of the pit!
OTHER TEACHINGS AND PRACTICES USURPING THE PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS
In the 19th level of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the Initiate
receives the degree of GRAND PONTIFF. It is during this ritual that
the candidate swears an oath of secrecy and an oath of total
obedience "to any Chapter of this degree to which I may belong; and
the edicts, laws and mandates of the Grand Consistory of Sublime
Princes and Commanders of the Royal Secret, as well as those of the
Supreme council of the 33rd degree..."
It is then that the "Thrice Puissant" anoints him with oil on the
crown of his head and says "Be Thou a Priest Forever, after the
order of Melchizedek."
After receiving the password (Emanuel) and the sacred word
(Alleluia), he is dressed in a robe of white linen and given a
cordon (a ribbon or sash of honor worn across the breast) of crimson
color, with 12 starts representing "the 12 gates of the "new city, "
and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the twelve fruits of the tree of
life, the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles."
(Scottish Rite Masonry Illustrated, The Complete Ritual, Vol. 2,
pages 26-27, E. Cook Publications, 1974)
It must be pointed out that what has taken place here, is the
Masonic priesthood taking upon itself the Holy Priesthood of Jesus
Christ. That is a Priesthood that can be held by only one person and
that one person is clearly defined in scripture as Jesus Christ!
Chapters 7 and 8 of the Book of Hebrews clearly explains that it
was ANOTHER priest to be raised up, not a group of priests! This
Priest would be our HIGH PRIEST and would be able to save from the
Uttermost! He would have "endless life"! The holder of THIS
Priesthood would be "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from
sinners and made higher than the heavens." (7:26) This is Jesus, our
Holy Lord and God!
This "ritual" takes Christ's Holy Priesthood from Him, and the
Grand Pontiff boldly puts it upon his own breast! Even the use of
"Biblical" words fails to cover up the adding in of the "signs of
the Zodiac, " a direct alliance with the powers of darkness and a
demonstration of disobedience to God's Word. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12,
it says that he who "useth divination" (consulting the signs of the
Zodiac to tell the future), "or is and observer of times" (which is
an ancient description for Augury or Astrology - again dealing with
the Zodiac) "is an abomination unto the Lord"!
Again, we see a mirror image of Biblical truth. The Priesthood
power of Jesus is given to the deceiver, Lucifer, the true god of
Masonry, who hides behind its mystery, ritual and allegory to snare
his prey.
WASHED IN THEIR OWN BLOOD
In the seventeenth degree, or Knights of the East and West, after
the candidates have completed the initiation and after revealing the
password (Jubulum) and the Sacred Word (Abaddon), "the Senior Warden
conducts the Candidate to the elevated vacant canopy at the right of
the All Puissant."
"This is supposed to represent the end of the world when all good
masons receive their reward by being conducted to a throne at the
right hand of the All Puissant, having been purified by washing
their robes in their own blood."
In the lecture which follows between the All Puissant and the
Senior Warden, the Book with Seven Seals - which none but one can
open (Rev. 5:5) - is twisted to represent "A Lodge or Council of
Masons which the All Puissant alone has the right to convene and
open."
The Fourth Seal is represented by a skull or "Death's Head" and
Masons are told it "is the image of a brother who is excluded from a
Lodge or Council." The Fifth Seal is represented by a "Cloth Stained
with Blood." The All Puissant identifies this as a symbol "that we
should not hesitate to spill ours for the good of masonry."
(Scottish Rite Masonry Illustrated, The Complete Ritual, Vol. 1,
Pages 453, 457, E. Cook Publishing, 1974)
What a gross misrepresentation of God's Holy Word! First and
foremost, It is Christ and He alone who "hath prevailed to open the
book and loose the seven seals thereof." To presume that honor and
power is to deny Christ, or yet in deeper perversity, to replace his
power and authority with that of the All Puissant, even in the
representation of the power to save and to enthrone. This is the
very spirit of the Antichrist!
Again, another clue to the true identity of the Masonic deity is
revealed in the "Sacred Word" of this ritual, "Abaddon." In
Revelation 9:11, we learn that "they [the demons and workers from
hell] had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is ABADDON!"
BLOOD OATHS NOT OF CHRIST!
Throughout the initiation rituals of the "BLUE LODGES" and
through all 33 degrees of Freemasonry, the candidates are sword to
secrecy by bloody oaths. Such as is the oath swore by the Entered
Apprentice of first degree, "...binding myself under no less penalty
than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its
roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea, at low-
water mark." The Master Mason swears, "...under no less penalty than
that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence
and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered before the four winds of
heaven..." (Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry by Malcom Duncan, Third
Edition, pages 36, 39, D. McKay Publishing Co., N.Y., N.Y.)
RAISING THE DEAD
It is in this final "Blue Lodge" degree that that candidate is
laid out "in death" and is raised from the dead by the "Worshipful
Master" of the Lodge (representing King Solomon), using the "strong
grip" (or "Lion's Paw") of the Master Mason.
Let no Mason deceive you! We again face this replacement of our
Savior by the power and authority of Lucifer. Paul said that if
anyone should preach any other gospel "than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Gal. 1:8, 9)
The simplicity of the Gospel is this, "Moreover, brethren, I
declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye
have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if
ye keep in memory what I have preached unto you, unless ye have
believed in vain. for I delivered unto you first of all that which I
also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third
day according to the scriptures." (1 cor. 15:1-5)
The infinite power of Jesus was confirmed by Him when He said,
"ALL power is given unto ME in heaven and in earth." (Matt. 28:18)
This power is His alone! "For if by one man's offense death reigned
by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ!"
(Romans 5:17)
Jesus was the one who rose from the dead. Jesus is the only one
with the power to raise from the dead. Jesus is the only one who
frees us from the sting of death!
How can a Mason who calls himself Christian allow himself to
partake of a ritual resurrection by the power of Lucifer? This is
Satanic! He stands, having been born again and raised from the dead
as a Master Mason, through the power of the Masonic god, whom the
God of Israel cast into the pit!
MASONIC OATHS ABOVE THE LAW
One the "five points of fellowship, " he and his "savior" pass
the sacred word, Mah-Hah-Bone.
Also, while in this position, the new Master Mason solemnly vows
"3d, Breast to Breast: that you will ever keep in your breast a
brother's secrets, when communicated to you and received as such,
murder and treason excepted." (Duncan's Rituals, Revised and
Complete, pages 35, 96, 120, 121, E. Cook Publications, 1974)
It should further be noted that in the Royal Arch Degree, the
candidate swears to protect the "brethren, " "Murder and treason not
excepted!" This places the Masonic oath above that of our courts and
our country. What hope would you have against a Mason in a Criminal
or Civil court with a Judge who is a 32nd or 33rd degree Mason? None,
by the nature of their oaths!
PAGAN COMMUNION - EATING THE DEAD
"QUESTION: What is to us the chief symbol of man's ultimate
redemption and regeneration?
"ANSWER: The fraternal supper, of bread which nourishes, and of
wine which refreshes and exhilarates, symbolically of the time which
is to come, when all mankind shall be one great harmonious
brotherhood; and teaching us these great lessons: that as matter
changes ever, but no single atom is annihilated, it is not rational
to suppose that the far nobler soul does not continue to exist
beyond the grave: that many thousands who have died might claim to
be joint owners with ourselves of the particles that compose our
physical bodies; for matter ever forms new combinations; and the
bodes of the ancient dead, the patriarchs before and since the flood,
the kings and the common people of all ages, resolved into their
constituent elements, are carried upon the wind over all continents,
and continually enter into and form part of the habitations of new
souls, creating new bonds of sympathy and brotherhood between each
man that lives and all his race. And thus, in the bread we eat, and
in the wind we drink tonight may enter into and form of us part of
us the identical particles of matter that once formed parts of the
material bodies called Moses, Confucius, Plato, Socrates, or Jesus
of Nazareth. In the truest sense, we eat and drink the bodies of the
dead; and cannot say that there is a single atom of our blood or
body, the ownership of which some other soul might not dispute with
us." (page 539)
I EXHORT YOU! COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AND HIS SHED BLOOD AT CALVARY, I
EXHORT YOU WHO CLAIM TO BE A MASON AND A CHRISTIAN, "Come out from
among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you." (2 Cor. 6:17)
"This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:11-12)
"For there is One God and One Mediator between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus." (1 Tim. 2:5)
"According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
master builder, I have laid the foundation and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For
other foundation can no man lay that that is laid, with is Jesus
Christ." (1 Cor. 3:10-11)
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name
which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil. 2:9-11)
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion hat light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" (2
Cor.6:14, 15)
ONE OR THE OTHER
Even as Elijah called out "Ye have forsaken the commandments of
the Lord and thou has followed Baal!" I cry out "How long halt you
between two opinions?L If the Lord be God, follow Him. But if Baal,
then follow him!" (1 Kings 18:18, 21)
I am sorry, but there is not other choice for you right now. If
you are a Mason who professes to be a Christian either renounce your
Christian faith or renounce Masonry. One is from on high and the
other is from the pit! You cannot cling to both!
Dare YOU risk laying your good works before the Lord on that last
day only to be told, "I never knew you, depart from me!" (Matt.
7:21-23)
Every "Blue Lodge" member who reads this can no longer maintain
his defense of ignorance. Today, it stands revealed! Today, you must
make your choice! Every Mason, through the highest degree, has had
the mask of secrecy ripped away. You are without defense. Choose
Jesus or choose Lucifer. Renounce Jesus if you must, but do not
stand in the assembly of His saints and mock Him! Your unrepentant
presence in the congregation of a Christian body is a grieving of
the Holy Spirit.
I pray that you will choose Jesus, repent, and be set free from
this wicked power unto whom you have submitted your very soul! If
this is your desire, remember that we have this promise, "If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
Pray this prayer with me right now! "Father in Heaven, in the
name of the Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned. I confess that
I have allowed myself to fall under the power and authority of
Lucifer, the god of Masonry. I confess it as sin, and ask that you
forgive me. I reject it and cast it from me and will immediately
remove my name from its rolls! Jesus, I call you Lord and Saviour
and ask that you come into my heart and fill me with your love and
Holy Spirit. Let no unclean thing remain! I am yours and yours
alone! I am set free! In Jesus' name, Amen!"
Write to me, dear friend and let me know of your decision for
Jesus Christ! Your Brother in the Lord, J. Edward Decker Jr.

for you to weary men, But will ye weary my God also?" ISAIAH 7:13
