It’s not about expressing belief in God in our own individual way, it about coming to God thru Jesus Christ in the way The Father wants all men to come to him. Sure every man is unique but The Father,,,As per Acts 17, has declared that all men should come to to him thru the son , Christ Jesus.
Such a concept is incompatible with Masonry teachings which are syncretistic in nature. It denies the divinity of Christ and the sufficiency of the shedding of his blood that was necessary for the salvation of all men. There is but one way to God and that being thru Christ Jesus. And that is where Masonry and I stand apart...even if there be some admirable and decent souls in the lower ranks!
“Masonry teachings which are syncretistic in nature”
Good description.
I would add the word “Gnostic” as well.
I do not believe they ‘deny’ the divinity of Jesus. They simply don’t address it, as they don’t address the specifics of any religion..
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
But I don’t believe that there is ‘only one way’ to come to God, so what you believe is interesting to me but not essential. (And again, Masonry is not a religion and doesn’t pretend to be one.)
