Hate-filled arsonist throws Molotov cocktail at NYC Masonic Temple
NY Daily News ^ | 10/10/19 | THOMAS TRACY

Posted on 10/11/2019 3:50:22 AM PDT by Libloather

A hate-filled hooded man chucked a Molotov cocktail at the Masonic Temple in Chelsea, sparking a small fire, officials said Thursday.

The arsonist was caught on a surveillance camera outside the front door of the Masonic Lodge on W. 24th St. near Sixth Ave., about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday.

The bearded suspect, dressed in a light grey hoodie and black pants, threw the Molotov cocktail at the building, the gathering hall for the fraternal group known as the Freemasons, sparking a small fire, police said.

The building was empty at the time and the fire was put out quickly, officials said.

The Masons are Satanists. Sounds like a lovers spat.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Better put up some facts to support your allegation.

Over half of our founding fathers who wrote our Constitution were Free Masons of the highest orders, including George Washington.

And the Constitution itself is written in a format parallel to the writing structure which constitutes much of the teaching within free masonry relating to Divine Providence.

More like vice versa, historically speaking...the Holy See has issued multiple bulls against Masonry, yet there have been (and are) many Masons who are Catholics.

> The Masons are Satanists. Reference? <

You don’t understand. The template is this: “I don’t belong to the (organization). They are Satanic. I know this because I saw a YouTube video about it.”

Here’s an example: I don’t belong to the Lutheran Church. They are Satanic. I know this because I saw a YouTube video about it.

It doesn’t matter if you are smearing good people. You gotta follow the template.

The Masonic lodges are far smaller in membership now than was the case 50 years ago. The Masons are having the same problem in attracting members that other fraternal or service organizations suffer from. Also, white Protestants, the main source of Masonic membership, are scarce in New York City.

With respect to the identity of the arsonist, it could be a Larouche supporter, a radical traditionalist Catholic, an Alex Jones acolyte, or just a nonaligned loon.

There have been plenty of Jewish Masons along the way. Heck, there are even Muslim members...Iran had its own network of lodges prior to 1979.

My entire family are masons, and my mother is Eastern Star.

I seem to have missed all the Devil Worship, apparently.

Is it true that Masons hold in equal esteem the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad-Gita, among other holy books?

Yes, I know.

I was thinking of the time period and place in question which is the United States in the early 20th Century.

Jews were not welcomed in many places.

Anti-Semitism was the norm. Not violent typically but pervasive.

They frequently blackballed from many organizations.

You’re asking the wrong person on that. The older members of my family are members, but I am not, as of yet. (been too busy with other things)

Do you deny that you were spiritually dead in your sins from the day you were conceived?

Do you deny that you were in rebellion against God (and therefore in league with Satan) since that time?

Have you ever realized that only Jesus’s PERFECT work on the cross can bring you peace and absence of conflict with God?

Do you think that a false attempt of human effort can save you from the fires of hell?

Should a Christian be a Mason?

Even though I am loath to enter into this feud I offer this up. And I will say at the outset that I don’t believe that the rank and file of the Masons are Satanist. But I will say that the Freemason’s philosophy is non-Christian.

The Catholic Church and the Lodge can never be reconciled. Freemasonry teaches a rival religion of Naturalism, whether it plots, persecutes, blasphemes, engages in philanthropy, or behaves politely. It treats all religions as equal but inferior to its own Gnostic wisdom. Alas, the vaunted profundity on offer never manifests itself from the shadows of secrecy. Even after a man has taken every degree known in the Masonic mansion, he will be no more enlightened than when he began, but considerably farther from the true Light. The Great Architect the Universe of Deism and Freemasonry is not the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—of Christians.

Freemasons and their craft: What Catholics should know"

A good article on why Christians should not be Freemasons.

But the gist of the argument is that no Christian should belong to any organization the treats all other religions as equal to Christianity.

Any organization that honors Islam equally to Christianity is a tool of the devil in my book. Even if its members do not.

The Freemasons recently celebrated 300 years as an organization. Satanists are excluded because they worship a lesser deity than God. Satanists don’t run the Shriners’ Hospitals for kids, the Freemasons do.

Free Masonry is occultism. Period.

http://www.bibleprobe.com/freemasonry.htm

From the link:

Beware: Masons have mastered the "denial technique". All those who write critically of Freemasonry are "anti's"; and all "anti's" are frauds, liars, zealots, or extremists and cannot be accepted. Their other main tactic is: "baffle them with bee's wax." According to Masonic law and tradition, All non-Masons are, "profane persons". This includes the Mason's wife, children and parents, unless they, too are Masons.

John 18:20

Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.

________________________________________________________________

James 5:12

But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
