I think you can be a freemason and be christian, but I would not advise it.
a lot of it is symbolism for the sake of symbolism. also it has a gnostic vibe, while it is not anti-christian, it is also not christian.
it is only about 300 years old but there is all this ancient symbolism, just kinda silly
kinda, but not really, it used be something you were excommunicated over, now it is just looked at as a serious sin, like birth control, and like birth control many catholics do not really care what the Church has to say about it, there are a decent number of catholic masons and no one makes a big deal out of it.Have there been any reprieves from the Holy See concerning the ban on Catholics becoming Freemasons?

Catholicism and Freemasonry
Its actually a requirement to believe in God to become a Freemason. Numerous Anglican Bishops have been Freemasons.

Wait a minute can't one be a prostitute and a Christian? Can't one be anything they want and be a Christian. I mean are there any perfect Christians out there? Please raise your hand.
If you really want an answer to this question...one that's based on scripture and experience, not conjecture might I suggest
Beyond the Light
Illuminating...
Sorta smacks of somebody with a pro-Masonic agenda.
That would be the opposite of whatever it was that was being referred to as an "anti-masonic agenda" in the post I was responding to.What exactly are referring to as a "pro-masonic agenda"?
How anti-Christian is it? and if it is as secretive as most outsiders say it is, then how do they supposedly know more about its "inner-workings and teachings that the people who are inside?Freemasonry is far too anti-Christian if you ask me.
I'm not attacking his character, he puts forth false information to those who are less informed and attempts to pass it off as if it were true.Hi, Gwenyfur.
Somewhat of a shame, actually, that the only two people who responded to your mentioning of Bill Schnoebelen's book opted for character assassination in lieu of discussing the contents of the book in regard to Freemasonry and its incompatibility with the Christian faith.
Interesting thing about character assassination is that it is so very often the weapon of choice for those who attempt to defend that which is indefensible. The ploy is, "If you do not like the message, kill the messenger."
I've been subjected to that myself. I don't know anything about Bill's past, but I do know that during the period of time I was in contact with him, he was in love with the Lord. Hopefully, nobody will find fault with that.
