Agreed, IMHO, FM is simply a good example of an occultic group that performs many human good works on a basis that will not be recognized as righteous in the final judgment. It also has some adherants that are dedicated to conspiring with fallen angels and exhibit the most evil of intentions with a studied deception.
There are similarities between that group and many other disparate groups in the world today. Many which have significant power and authority.
We are to obey the authorities per Scripture, yet at the sounding of the trumpets, the elders in heaven will proclaim all power, riches, wisdom, strngth, honor praise and glory to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
I wonder how much of the elite behavior today is influenced by said authorities.
I now wish I used a reference to the Girl Scouts instead of the word Masons. I didn't even want to get into this topic as a debate on the Masons. I wanted to discuss the foundation monies from Ark of Hope.
Some folks would dare to say that they have already heard the trumpets and have been making those proclaimations for a long time. Aren't you, yourself making that proclaimation now?
Christ always "IS". There never was a time that He wasn't.
Greater is He that is within you this moment . . .
than that which will ever be in the world, for Christ is the presence of God in man, always sufficient for the tasks at hand.
Aren't we His temple? Well, we're supposed to be. That's what we are building. A dwelling place in our consciousness so we can be conscious of His presence and obedient to His will, being able to respond to the laws written on the 'fleshly tables.' It's a process. Slow but sure. From glory to glory we rise. (Levels of understanding.)
A message that somehow has gotten lost through the centuries.
