BEAUTIFUL "TENETS"... "DECEPTION":
The apparent "tenets" of Masonry are beautiful, and many Masons are good, honest people, deceived in the surface of Brotherhood, specially the first three degrees Masons, most of them!... who, in the words of Pike, already quoted, "they are intentionally misled by false interpretations" (p.129)
- To be accepted as a Mason,
you have to believe in "the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of men, and the immortality of the soul"... and this is beautiful, but like a chocolate with deadly poison inside, because it will end up robbing your Christian or Muslim or Jewish believes...
- The "3 tenets" of Masonry are:
1- "Brotherly love to the whole human species,
2- Relieve the distressed,
3- And truth as a divine attribute".
... this 3 tenets, plus "trust in God" are just beautiful... but many high degree Masons are guided by greed and self-interest, either social, political, or economic, making Masonry nothing less than the England's Mafia, in the words of Knight and Short ("The Brotherhood", "Inside the Brotherhood).
The "4 perfect points of entrance" are: "Gutta" (throat), "pectora" (chest), "manus" (hand), and "pedes" (feet), to teach care and circumspection of what you eat and drink, what you say and think in your heart, what you do, and where you go... beautiful!... but while many lodges are like clubs of brothers dedicated to do charity, some big high degree members are obstinate in destroying religions and entire economical and social structures of even entire nations...
The "4 cardinal virtues", are also beautiful: Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice"... but while many lodges breathe a spirit of general philanthropy, some high degree Masons have fed up the public, and the Grand Lodge biggest task today is to convince an increasingly cynic public that the Craft is neither a standing conspiracy nor a secret society, nor even a "society with secrets", but a harmless private club which benefits the entire community by inculcating lofty moral and spiritual values in its members"... but it is not that!... because Freemasonry can spiritually enrich a lifetime, but it can rob you of your Christian values... it can be conservative, but also a reactionaary force in politics, religion, or economics, a cover for a revolution, from left or right.
The "god" of the Masons, is not the "God" of the Bible or the Koran:
"To believe in God" is one of the greatest deceptions of Masonry... because for a Mason, the only "acting God" is the "Lodge" and the "Worshipful Master", like for Communists the real acting "god" is the State and the Premier...
... The primary allegiance and obedience of the Mason is to the "Worshipful Master", the only proper form to address him!... and through the Master to any other secret "higher Mason authority"... In the Lodge, the "Master" is "Worshiped", not God!... you can not even mention your God!.
... This is why Masonry is incompatible with Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, because their primary allegiance is to "God"... and even many local authorities are debating whether membership to the Craft is compatible with local government.
The "God" of the first 3 Degrees, is "deistic", in the sense that he is a creator but can not be known... and this is why Pike can claim that "all specific conceptions of God are idolatrous, except Masonry's" ("Morals and Dogma", p.516)... so, the God of the Bible, or Koran, are "idolatrous".
... This "deistic God" is a boundless, eternal, universal, undenominational and international Divine Spirit... but "unapproachable"!... the only approachable "acting god" is the Worshipful Master. So, a Mason may believe in only one God, but Freemasonry welcomes all Masons Gods in the same Pantheon, as far as the allegiance in the Lodge is to the Worshipful Master, and any other God can not even be mentioned.
... In fact, any Lodge is a "federation of Gods and Religions"... and the greatest deception is that the individual Mason is "trusting in God", but not in his God, but in the Worshipful Master!... and the secret Mason authorities behind him!, because it is another deception to make believe that the local Lodge has the supreme authority, outranked by nobody, not even by the Grand Lodge.
- After the 3rd Degree,
Masonry accepts a particular form of pantheism, "Panentheism", where "all is god, and god is all", a pantheistic conception of deity which has passed from India through the secret doctrines of the Kabbalah into Freemasonry and the actual New Age Movement. The so called "Grand Architect of the Universe" (G.A.O.T.U.), after the 3rd degree is not "a person"... "it" is "nature", a "force", "energy"... a "stone", a "star", "you", "I"... it is "it", not "he"... a most cunning way to deceive the first 3 Degrees, most of the Masons!...
... And this is why Masonry claims that God is in every Mason... but it is in the same sense that God is in any dog or any stone...
- The Craft wants people to belive that it opens the door to a universal brotherhood of all faiths, but any knowledgeable believer will recognize that Masonry denies his God and beliefs.
... Here, Masonry links cults and religions from all ages: Egypt, Kabbalah, the Occult, Spiritism, Alchemy (the founder, Hermes, is suppossed to be one of the founders of Freemasonry)... and even Satanism: Albert Pike is a high regarded Mason and a Satanist, who claims that "Masonic religion should be maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine... the true religion is Satanism... Lucifer is the God of Light and the God of Good, strugling for humanity against Adonay, the God of the Jews and Christians, the God of Darkness and Evil".
- A great problem,
for the honest Masons of the first 3 Degrees, for most Masons, is that they participaate in rituals with occult significance, whose symbolism is undisclosed to them.
- As a whole,
the god of the Masons is "relativistic", because it can't be known, but it is good to use as it fits!, and only the Masonic symbolism, which is ambiguous and left to the interpretation of the individual, is adapted to the truth of what god is.
-The "God" of the Bible, is not the "god" of Masonry:
For the Craft, Jesus Christ is not God, or he is god as much as you and I are gods, or a stone is god. Masonry completely excludes all particular biblical teachings about Christ such as His incarnation, redemptive mission, death, and resurrection. In fact, no biblical truth about Jesus Christ is affirmed by Masonry.
- "God the Father", of the Bible, is not the "Almighty Father of the Universe" of the Masonry prayers: God the Father is a "person", the Almighty of the Masons "is not a person" after the third degree, it is "energy", "nature"... it is not "he", it is "it"...
... So, "the oaths", on the Bible, or on the Koran, or on the Vedas, are mockery and profanation of these scriptures, because men swear upon their sacred scriptures to obey Masonic religious beliefs that deny and distort what their sacred scriptures really teach.
- The capital "G", of the emblem, stands for "God" or "Grand Architect of the Universe"... but also stands for "Geometry, Gnosis, Generation", the real divine trinity of the Masons.
- The "Hell", of the Bible and Koran is never ever mentioned in the doctrines or rituals of Masonry.
- "Heaven", is mentioned as "the perfect and glorious Lodge above where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides"... but that "Lodge above" is not the Heaven of the Bible or Koran, because for Masonry "god" is not a person, and the "Lodge above" is neither a place nor a estate, it is to be "in god" like a stone is... it is just a deception to face death!... because "after death", every soul becomes god, like a drop of water in the ocean, "without being a person"...
- So, the 2 tenets of Masonry, "believe in God, and in the immortality of the soul", are the greatest deceptions of Masonry, because "God" is not a person, and the "soul" is not what we think, but it is like the "soul" of a star, or a bird... and this is why the third great Rite of Masonry, the "Grand Orient of France" admits atheists as Masons, and they are perfect Masons, without believing in God or in the immortality of the soul.
Deception "on religion":
The "aim of Masonry": A great false and deceptive claim of Masonry is to say that "it is not a religion nor a substitute for religion".
- Masonry is a religion, a "naturalistic religion"... and still more, Masonry teaches in the higher degrees, that "it alone is the only one true religion of all mankind", aiming to unite all religions and will eventually unite the world in brotherhood... it is the same aim that the one of the New Age Movement... a new "World Order"!.
... Its real aim is to become Christianity without Christ, Judaism without the Law, Islam without the Prophet, Buddhism without Buddha...
- It is a "Religion of Naturalism", where "human reason" becomes the only guide to religious belief. God can not teach anything, He can not reveal Himself... the Bible is good as far as the moral doctrines is concern, but it is nothing as far as the revelations that God has made of Himself... Masonry denies that anything has been taught by God... the real God!...
... And this is why Masonry claims, "Creeds arise, have their day and pass, but Masonry remains, because it is built on the rock of reason, not on the shifting sands of superstition"... all religions are "superstition", including Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists... all except Masonry, the only one true religion!...
- Masonry inculcates the practice of virtue, but supplies no scheme of redemption of sin!... - Masonry, without "revelation" of God, with only "reason", knows very little about the real "God", and about the real eternal "soul", and about the real eternal "Heaven" or "Hell"...
Get out of Masonry!... it may ruin your only life on earth, and it may bring you to the eternal Hell, forgotten by Masonry... but it is there!...
"To unite", all mankind into its doctrines is the main aim of Masonry... but Masonry can not even unite itself!... because power and honor and riches are the main goals of many Massons... there is a huge rivalry among their high level members to be the most honored, the most powerful... in the words of Pike, the most eminent American Freemason philosopher, he wrote an entire article on "The Evil Consequences of Schisms and Disputes for Power in Masonry, and of Jealousies and Dissensions Between Masonic Rites", where he talks about "the angry disputes which rend the bosom of the Order, accompanied with bitter words, harsh epithets and loud denunciations, that give the lie to the combatants' claim of brotherhood"... no, the brotherhood of Masonry is not a peaceful lake!... ("Little Masonic Library", 5:102-103)...
... Masons in today's Lodge seem unable to agree even on major issues, such as "who God is", and weather or not He is relevant... and, in fact, among the most rancorous disputes the world has ever witnessed are those that raged among Masons during the last 200 years over questions of minor or no importance... just for the sake of power and honor and riches!... the principal aims of many Masons.
... A huge problem of "Masonic Religion" is that it is an amalgam of many religions from Egypt, Persia, Babylon, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Spiritism, Occultism, Witchcraft, Kabbalah... and anything can be added or argued...
