Reidy said, Do not be deceived. God shall not be mocked. A House divided cannot stand. He will not be mocked. He will not be mocked. He will not be mocked. The greatest deception here is that this is not one nation under God. It never was. Had it been, the Constitution would not have been written by Free Masons and go against God. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, Lord Jesus.
I was told that all of the symbols printed on US currency originated with the Masons.
My daughter went on a conspiracy kick over the “Illuminati” a few years ago, and I wonder if people don’t see the Free-Masons as part of the same thing.
My dad was one. I’m not. I don’t know what to think about them, though it would be nice to have a secret symbol for getting say, a free lunch or a last minute pardon on the gallows.
Kudos for spelling ‘lousey’ correctly! Not many folks get that one right!
Yes, and freemasonry does represent a serious departure from Christian belief. It is a bit of cognitive dissonance for me to think of the founders in that light. I think some, perhaps most, were members on the edges, not insiders actively working against the Gospel, just not well informed. Southern Baptists frequently have such ties, and they are good people, but members of freemasons out of tradition, or sometimes professional necessity, without ever having considered the spiritual conflict such dual membership represents.
....over this?
Above: Benjamin Franklin's proposed 1776 version of The Great Seal, portraying Moses and the Israelites as Pharaoh's army drowns in the Red Sea, with God's pillar of fire in the background
I don’t know and I’m pretty sure its not relevant. I do know this, I can agree with more of what she said than what Congress just did. Just sayin ...
41 was a member of Yale’s skull and Bones I think that what it was.
It was a warning..period!
My feeling is that the Holy Spirit compelled her to speak those words, that she stated “God Will Not Be Mocked” 3 times is significant. Peter denied Jesus 3 times.

The actual issue at hand appears to be, is Freemasonry compatible with the Kingdom of YHWH. This system pretends to be Godly at many initial levels.
Many of our past USG representatives have been Freemasons, but I think they were not aware of it’s intent and actual roots. I’m convinced that father Washington is saved in spite of his being involved therein.
Who controls the British crown?

We do, we do!
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?

We do, we do!
Who holds back the electric car?

We do, we do!
Who robs cavefish of their sight?

We do!
We do!!!
Depends.
In some cases, Freemasonry has been used as a classical secret society for nefarious ends, and worse - for nefarious political ends. Two very well-known cases of freemasonry corruption was corrupt police in the UK a few years ago (more than 20, actually), and the freemason group U2 in Italy doing political corruption, mobsterism and blackmail.
Yeah, they're all mixed together in the Vast Unseen Hand Conspiracy Theory. The Rosicrucians are the connecting link.
First, George Washington’s freemasonry had little to do with Albert Pike’s Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
Few presidents were actually free-masons, unless you count the normative tradition of freemasons bestowing honorary membership on presidents. Presidents who were known freemasons include George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, William Taft, LBJ, FDR, Warren Harding and Harry Truman.
Notice the historical gap? It occurs after the decline of traditional masonry (which has only 3 degrees) and before the rise of the Scottish rite, and its 33 degrees. (Pike’s 33rd degree is a black mass.)
The Scottish rite reached its Zenith in the mid-20th century with a masonic presidents (FDR, Truman, LBJ) appointing all masons to numerous powerful positions, from the formal (For decades, there was only one non-Mason on the Supreme Court) to the merely inspirational (every Apollo astronaut was a free mason).
By the late 20th century, freemasonry was in serious decline, although the lowering of drinking ages across the nation put masonic fraternities and sororities as the primary dispensers of alcohol to college students.
It might be fair to say more presidents had masonic connections: While not “Greek,” and not officially Masonic, the Bushes were members of fraternities with very strong Masonic ties. Both Obama’s and Romney’s denominations are very strongly tied to Masonry.
So was John Kerry AND Bush (43).

Hate to break it to you, but George Washington was a leading Freemason and the master (or whatever they call it) of his local fraternity multiple times.
“Albert Pikes Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.”
#1 Albert Pike spoke for no one but himself.
#2 The Scottish Rite is a distinct minority among Freemasons. It is, indeed, bizarrely new agey if you take it seriously.
#3 The York Rite Freemasons are strictly Christian and, in fact, take an oath to defend Christendom, their highest order being the Order of the Knights Templar.
