  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Can a Christian be a Freemason???

To Rev Wayne,
I'm trying to follow this, but I wasn't exactly clear on what you're saying Freemasonry "refuses to acknowledge," or exactly what it is you're calling "deception."
Can’t se what is difficult for you to grasp.

Let me ask you, do you say any prayers? If I was a freemason would I be allowed to pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit instead of GAOTU?

nor should referring to God as "Architect"--especially since it's biblical:
But God the Father Son and Holy Spirit is the great architect of the universe.

To Archivist,
I noticed that you avoided answering my point regarding the Boy Scouts, which is an organization that requires its members to profess a belief in God without any specifics. When I was in Scouts many years ago we had a couple members of our troop who were Jewish and at least one who was Hindu, in addition to many Christians. All of us professed a belief in God when we said the Scout oath.
How is Allah who does not have the person of the Son, the same as God who is Father Son and Holy Spirit. What you mean is all of you professed a belief in a god.

To IreneAdler,
Um, because they're not prejudiced jerks?
Umm who says that are or aren’t?

Allowing people to be in a group of other faiths, and just requiring that they DO have a faith, isn't somehow this horrible thing.
Why would a faith in something be needed? The point being there are different things and gods people have faith in… at least according to the beliefs of those different religions.

Well, having been personally involved, I do. Where does your perspective come from?

Why not answer the boyscout question the same way. It's a private organization, and as such, is entitled to have people do whatever it's members say if they want to joint. If I want to be in my quilt guild I have to pay dues and participate. How horrible, they have limitations to membership based on their preference! Sin of all sins.

At least your consistent. But being private organizations, how they run membership and admission is how they run membership and admission. For me it's like asking if a men's or women's only group can be Christian. It's a total non issue. THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN DISCUSS IT.... so obviously it can't be pushing another religion on people. It's just silly. If you dont' like it, don't participate, but please don't try to sit in the judgment seat and determine based on limited knowledge what these people's souls mean and who they are.

Well, I haven't heard that particular ending for a prayer, but "in Jesus' name," yes, I've heard--and said--in lodge quite often. So I don't imagine "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" would be out of line either.

Alabama even has it as part of their code:

13.8. SECTARIANISM — A Mason offering prayer in the Lodge may pray to his God observing his own conception of Deity. It is therefore proper and in accordance with Masonic law and tenets for a Mason who believes in the Christ or Jesus to offer prayer in the Lodge in His Name.

But God the Father Son and Holy Spirit is the great architect of the universe.
You're catching on. It was originated by John Calvin, who commonly referred to Jesus as the "Architect" of Creation, and to Creation as the "architecture of God."

And you say this because you're at a high level in the Freemasons or Eastern Star? (I'm gussing not)

And you're just spouting fear mongering again. I'll be glad to rub away since I'm the one with the real life experience in this subject and not just thrownig around rumor and innuendo.
