Deity:

the creator and supreme being (in a monotheistic religion such as Christianity). noun

The Bible says that the one true God is the sovereign, self-existent Creator of the universe (Isaiah 42:5; Ephesians 1:11). Kind of like what masons refer God to be: the Great architect of the Universe. We also use the word God. Same/same.

Isn’t that the same as the God you profess like “Lord,” “God,” “Father,” “Holy Trinity,” “Jesus Christ.” or before his death, ““Jesus of Nazareth?” It’s okay to have so many names, just the same as it is okay to have so many religions that have names for their God. And that’s the major difference between you and I, you profess the legitimacy of one religion, and I recognize every one with a deity involved as that can be God. So how come yours is the only correct one? We recognize people for what they are, not what they call themselves.

As a nonsectarian Fraternity, Freemasonry does accept good men of all faiths.

Our role as Masons is not to accept, embrace, or proclaim as true ANY religion or body of religious dogma.

Religion and Freemasonry

So that bible that you claim is on the "alters" of your lodges is just window dressing for your token christians.

And for your information: Hindus do not worship a single deity.

"By 1872, when the first Hindu joined an English lodge in India, members of all religions seem to have been accepted without exception."

Freemasonry and Eastern Religions

You appear to know very little about freemasonry. Hopefully you learn more and finally get out of that evil cult. See post #24. I notice you haven't responded to that post.

It’s okay to have so many names, just the same as it is okay to have so many religions that have names for their God.

Do you believe the muslims, who deny the Holy Trinity, worship the same "god" as your christian freemasons worship?

Do you worship the same "gods" whom the hindu freemasons worship?

Why Catholics Cannot be Masons

Many good Catholic men have been deceived into becoming Masons. In this powerful little book, a Catholic attorney and former 32nd degree Mason, John Salza, clearly shows why joining Masonry (including the Shriners) means embracing a false religion.

Having authored Masonry Unmasked for general readership, here John Salza writes specifically for Catholics, showing why the Church has always condemmed Freemasonry, and continues to condemn Freemasonry today (despite mistaken claims to the contrary.) He explains Masonic doctrines, history, rituals, oaths and curses, showing that Masonry is totally incompatible with Christianity and the Catholic Faith.

He answers the questions: Who is the god of Freemasonry? How does Freemasonry view the Holy Bible? What are the self-curses of Freemasonry? Why does Freemasonry appear to be compatible with the Christian Faith? What have the Popes said about Freemasonry? Are Catholics involved in Freemasonry excommunicated? How does a Catholic exit Freemasonry?

Packed with facts and very well documented, Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons is a brief but potent revelation by a man who has been there - and then returned to the One True Faith.

And that’s the major difference between you and I, you profess the legitimacy of one religion, and I recognize every one with a deity involved as that can be God. So how come yours is the only correct one?

Because I believe in the Bible, that Jesus Christ is God and that Jesus Christ founded one Church:

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
