The Masons, who are they

Posted on 01/28/2018 6:33:06 PM PST by MNDude

I am curious if anyone knows anything about the Masons. You always hear about them and how they are super secretive. You always hear how they ride to places of great power and they love to put their symbols all over the place secretly. But what do they stand for? What are their beliefs? I really have no idea.

Anyone know?

At one time, all the higher ups in the Colorado Springs Police Dept were Masons. They all kept getting promotions. If you wanted to get ahead there, you joined the masons.

I've been a Mason for 30+ and have never seen a Koran in a Lodge. Blue Lodge, Scottish rite, or Shrine. The only secrets in Masonry are how to tell if you are a mason. It is a fraternal service organization the median age is moving up to about 60 now days.

"They have a Koran at all meetings. Enough said."

What (non-Catholic) documentation do you have on that assertion?

I've found that, if you want to learn about someone, it is best to avoid the propaganda produced by their sworn enemies.

Heard that years ago pre Vatican II the Catholic Church forbid its members from being Masons. Not sure what the rule is today but then the Catholic Church isn’t Catholic anymore.

AS I POSTED EARLIER, from a high level Mason who had no reason in the world to make it up.

Sorry but yes, they demand respect to the word of Muhammed. Those who defend them are either ignorant of this or complicit.

Then the lodge of which he was a member had a Muslim member. It’s customary to have the holy books of the faiths of the members present (if they so desire). In the US the Bible is default and the only one that is opened, but others may be placed next to it.

“This is the problem. Masons deny the divinity of Christ. There is only one way to heaven and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. They make no distinction between Chrst or Allah. Christ died for all—not Allah. They may have good works but good works will not get you to heaven. God said we should have no other gods before Him.”

It’s also hogwash. Masons no more deny the divinity of Christ than the PTA or your bowling league does. Oh - the PTA and your bowling league don’t have positions on the divinity of Christ? Well, neither do the Masons. The Masons require a member to believe in God, but simply take no position on the truth or falsity of any member’s religious beliefs.

“Did I read that Jeff Sessions was a freemason?
That would explain why he cannot prosecute.
Their loyalty to each other transcends all law and morality.”

Nope, try again.

I am a Master Mason here in Texas and proud of it. I am part a fraternity of men that is the oldest in the world starting in 1717. The things we are not are a church, we don’t have sacraments or dogma. We only ask a Master Mason to believe in a supreme being, their religion is their own because no atheist can be come a Mason. A lot of people don’t understand what we do, we are just a fraternity and that charity is only secondary. The fraternity endeavors to make good men better, the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. There are only 3 degrees in Masonry, Entered Apprentice(1st), Fellowcraft(2nd) and Master Mason(3rd); there is nothing higher. Once you are a Master Mason, you are always a Master Mason. The rest of the degrees of the York Rite and Scottish(French) Rite are honorary and hold no power or hierarchy over Master Masons. The officer that has jurisdiction over all Master Masons in Texas or any other state is the Grand Master and he only serves one year. If you need more details go to Masonicinfo.com.

If I knew how to deal with images, I’d insert the meme of Luke Skywalker saying “Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.”

Because literally, all 16 statements are false. Every last one.

I grew up in the Lutheran Church, and it was forbidden to be a Mason. The ELCA Lutherans dropped that rule.. Well the LCMS & Wisconsin Evangelical Synod Lutherans still have it. Catholics still have the rule.

Masonry is not a religious organization, it is a Fraternal one. It's very similar to swearing on the Bible when you take public office. It actually makes it a very American institution in that there is freedom of religion as long as your believe in a Supreme Being - no Atheists involved and no proselytizing in the Lodge.
