Masons

[Simpleman25]

I'm happy to see that others witness the hands being held out over there. Then again most cults are like that.
I'll start a thread this week breaking down how they are a cult.

I asked a serious question and no answer. Hmmm.

Conspiracy!

I realize that there are many misrepresentations about Masons. And certainly they not are perfect. But why is there such a campaign against them. I have not know many personally who are Masons, but they seem very much like anyone else. Many of the U.S. leaders have been members of the Masons and it was at one time very prestigous to be a member of the Masons. Why the turn around

How come the secrets? Only cowards need hide. Is their investment in prosperity? Doesn't the gospel say that all the secrets will be revealed? Who attempts to stand against God?

If you don't tell me your bank account number, does that make you a coward? I think we agree that the answer is no.

The "secrets" (I use quotes here because one can find them rather easily) of Freemasonry are modes of recognition and non-monitoral portions of the ritual. Can you find them on Google? Sure. But I took an oath not to disclose them, and so I never will.

How are we hiding? We are right here in front of you.

Deuteronomy 29:29

New Living Translation (NLT)

29 “The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions."


Generalizations aren’t a good idea.

 

[Simpleman25]

They are baiting. No substance, just attempting to get a response.

I don't have a bank account.

Thank you. What ritual must one endure in becoming a freemason?

Are there any secrets you hold onto that you would not reveal unto others? If so, how come? If not, then what is the point?

If the Holy Spirit reveals all, who is to stand, aside from God Himself?

Something tells me you are not being as honest with us add we'd like.

If you have question, ask them. If I don't want to answer them, I'll let you know.

If you have a question for me, please feel free to ask. Besides personal information such as my bank account number and what state I live in.

Please forgive me if I sounded disrespectful.

If a regualr guy wanted to become a part of the Freemasons or Knights Templar, what must he do?
Are there secrets that he must keep secret?
Are the Knight Templar for Catholics only?

 

[astein]

Do Freemasons get special privlages that others don't?

If you want to be a mason go to a local lodge and speak with someone there.

There are secrets you are asked to keep. Those of us with integrity and morals do. Those that have no integrity, well, you can see most of it on the internet.

Toy may be confusing the Knights of Columbus, which is the Catholic version of freemasonry.

I appreciate your kindness towards me. I havn't read much about the secrets of the free mason or knights of columbus.

Can you answer one question though? Do Masons get special privileges that others dont? A flashing of a ring or a hand signal?

-Perhaps some do.
-Maybe, I can't say.
-Yes.
-No.

 

[Drudgeon]

No

 

[astein]

No

Thank you Drudgeon.

Shouldnt they?

What is wrong with that?

 

[Drudgeon]

No. No one should be treated better or worse based on who they associate with. Now, if I were presented with two people I didn't know, Jones a mason and Smith not, I would know somewhat more about Jones than Smith (that he was investigated by a committee and found to be an upstanding man in his community and was elected unanimously to his Lodge), but as a Christian, were both in need, I would do my best to assist both. I also wouldn't assume anything negative about Smith because he was not a Lodge member.
