I see that you have quoted Albert Pike. What you may not appreciate is that Albert Pike was speaking for himself — as all Freemasons do. So when he wrote:
> “The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god... Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light...Doubt it not!”
he was giving his own opinion and not speaking on behalf of anybody else. He certainly doesn’t speak on my behalf: I think his viewpoint are, for the most part, loopy.
> No Christian can be a Freemason.
I’m a Christian and a Freemason. How do you reconcile that dichotomy?
Do you deny that Albert Pike's book is the basic text of (at least) American Freemasonry? You know that it is. Why not simply admit that Freemasonry has a special place in its institutional heart for Lucifer?
Im a Christian and a Freemason. How do you reconcile that dichotomy?
I have no idea. The two flatly contradict each other. One is all about the worship of the Father in Christ, the other is profoundly Luciferian and anti-Christ.
How do you reconcile the two?
