"Why is the Masonic lodge beautiful and why don't church authorities like it?" explained Bisi: "Because under the same sky -- which represents Creation -- each man is a brother to the other, the bond of brotherhood is independent of faith. It is only necessary to believe in the Great Architect of the Universe. The starry sky is the same for the Buddhist, for the Catholic, for the Waldensian, for the Islamic, for all those who believe in a supreme being. (...) Absolute truths and walls of the mind do not belong to us and for us they must be torn down."

There is a grand lodge and all others independently fall under the jurisdiction. Masonry gets slandered by idiots. It became popular with the in Internet when one guy started then entire Mason’s are satanic BS.

Free masonry is 180 degrees from Christian faith (IMHO) I see it as far to late for the Catholic church to point fingers at anyone as their own house is filthy.

Japan was occupied by Gen MacArthur. His entire staff were Mason’s. He set up the the Lodge in Tokyo in basement of Japanese Imperial Staff. The Efile Tower is out front.

Only the titans of Japanese industry were allowed membership. The restoration of Japan is due to the Mason’s.

I served in two of the MacArthur Lodges, and the Rising Sun Lodge.

“Because under the same sky — which represents Creation — each man is a brother to the other...”

Well, actually, we are not. That is happy talk.

The most immediate event, I am definitely not a brother to the demonic ghouls described by Mark Levin yesterday.

" “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus speaking in John 14:6

Note that Jesus uses the preposition the - He doesn't say "I am a way. Masons, like all anti-Christians, do not recognize/acknowledge Jesus as the only begotten Son of God and world's ONLY Messiah and ONLY means of salvation.
