ITS SYMBOLS, SNARES AND CONFLICTS WITH THE WORD OF GOD

1. THE RELIGION CALLED FREEMASONRY ITS SYMBOLS, SNARES AND CONFLICTS WITH THE WORD OF GOD

2. 1. A Mason's Creed is Syncretic (Mixing god’s.) • Salvation without Rebirth - Jesus Christ is not Necessary "Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12)

3. 3. Masonic Secrecy is Gnostic in Nature 2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

4. 2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5. Freemasonry Commits the Sin of Partiality (Jas 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. Jas 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.)

10. 5. Masons Make Unholy Vows Mat 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

11. Freemasonry is a hidden fraternal order, and defined by them as a system of morality. The first three steps are the Blue Lodge. The first degree is called Entered Apprentice. The second degree is called Fellow Craft. The Third degree is called Master Mason. Most men only go to the third degree, but if one chooses, he may advance either through the York Rite or the Scottish Rite. The Scottish Rite has thirty-two degrees.

12. . In many degrees, the Mason pledges himself to Egyptian and other deities. There is a thirty-third degree that is largely honorary, but the thirty-two degrees give you access to becoming a Shriner. As a Shriner you will place your hand on the pagan Muslim Qur'an (Koran) and pledge yourself to the pagan "god" Allah; who by the way lies that Jesus did not even die on a cross, and that God has no Son.

14. The Lying and Deception begins with the "G" Ex-33 degree Mason Jim Shaw says; "The Blue Lodge Mason is taught that the "G" in the basic Masonic symbol represents God. Later on, he is told that it represents "deity". Later still, he is told that it represents "geometry". In reality, this letter represents the "generative principle," the Sun-god and, thus, the worshipped phallus, the male "generative principle..." In its position (along with the square and compass) on the east wall over the chair (throne) of the Worshipful Master, it is the representation of the Sun, thus of the Sun-god, Osiris. Its earthly meaning, then, is of the sacred phallus; its cosmic meaning is of the Sun, worshipped since antiquity by pagans while facing the East. Reference, book: The Deadly Deception",

15. Masons have mixed The Bible, idolatry, paganism, the occult, Gnosticism, Kabala, fertility cults, Satanism, spiritualism, demonology, and put it into a blender and come up with the Masonic religion. It is not of God! It is a false religion; the Harlot of Babylon. Masons say they offer new candidates "the light". Why would a Christian who has received the light of Christ need any other light. Joh 8:12 Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. He said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have a life filled with light and will never live in the dark."

16. The light they are actually giving is Lucifer. All Masons are worshiping Lucifer whether in ignorance or not. The Christian Bible in Job (1:7) says that Satan walks to and fro on this earth . Satan our adversary is a master deceiver. Many good men and women are tricked by the seemingly good works and outwardly moral profession of Freemasonry. (Shriners Hospital , benefits etc>

17. 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

18. WHAT ABOUT THE LODGE AND A BELIEVER? 2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

19. Deu 5:9 Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, for I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation.

20. Unknown to most Masons, there is an occult side to Masonry. It is at levels in Masonry that most Masons never get to. Albert Pike, that preeminent Masonic authority, says that Masons in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees, known as the Blue Degrees, are intentionally misled by false interpretations. Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma" is handed out to 4th Degree Masons.

21. "is intentionally misled by false interpretations" of Masonic symbolism. "It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them"

22. In his book Masonry "Beyond the Light", William Schnoebelen (now a saved Christian) talks about his experiences as first a Satanist and then a Mason reveals how as he went from the Satanism to masonry that many rituals were identical or similar to those practiced in witchcraft Masonry", "The Brotherhood", "The Lodge", "The Craft

23. False god’s in Masonry include Baal, Osiris Horus ,Isis Vishnu ,Brahman Allah The Great architect of the Universe among others. Although Jesus the Man is not denied ,his diety is. He is considered one of many enlightened ones.

24. Some quotes from famous Masonic historians are as follows: “Masonry makes no profession of Christianity…but looks forward to the time when the labor of our ancient brethren shall be symbolized by the erection of a spiritual temple…in which there shall be one altar and one worship; one common altar of Masonry on which the Veda, Shastra, Sade, Zend-Avesta, Koran and Holy Bible shall lie…and at whose shrine the Hindoo, the Persian, the Assyrian, the Chaldean, the Egyptian, the Chinese, the Mohammedan, the Jew, and the Christian may kneel…” (“The Kentucky Monitor,” Fellowcraft Degree, p.95)

25. “In his private petitions a man may petition God or Jehovah, Allah or Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus; he may call upon the God of Israel or the First Great Cause. In the Masonic Lodge he hears petition to the Great Architect of the Universe, finding his own deity under that name. A hundred paths may wind upward around a mountain; at the top they meet”. (Carl H. Claudy, “Introduction to Freemasonry”, p.38

26. "It [Masonry] reverences all the great reformers. It sees in Moses, the lawgiver of the Jews, in Confucius and Zoroaster, in Jesus of Nazareth, and in the Arabian iconoclast, Great Teachers of Morality, and Eminent Reformers, if no more: and allows every brother of the Order to assign to each such higher and even Divine Character as his Creed and Truth require... Masonry is a worship; but one in which all civilized men can unite..." (Pages 525, 526) Pike also said, "The first Masonic teacher was Buddha."

27. The denial of God in the flesh as the Christ or Messiah of the one and only Living God Yahweh is antichrist to the core. 1Jn_2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved

28. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." (John 6:47 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

29. MASONIC SYMBOLOGY ." ["Point Within A Circle," Short Talk Bulletin , August, 1931, Masonic Bulletin designed to read within the Lodges, p. 4] The point and the circle carries a sexual connotation. Another Masonic author states that this symbol is used in Sun Worship, and then says: "The female principle, symbolized by the moon, assumed the form of a lunette [small circular opening], or crescent, while the male principle, symbolized by the sun, assumed the form of the lingam [Phallus] and placed himself erect in the center of the lunette, like the mast of a ship." ["Point Within A Circle," Short Talk Bulletin , August, 1931, Masonic Bulletin designed to read within the Lodges,

30. POINT WITHIN A CIRCLE The circle is commonly used to depict the female sexual organ. Satanists love to use the "Eight- Step Path of Enlightenment." (right) They believe a person needs to go through eight separate steps to become fully enlightened spiritually. The final step which is the eighth step, is the Sex Act. Notice that the very center of this symbol is a very small circle. This symbol is the ultimate female sexual representation.

31. OBELISK The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary defines an Obelisk: “Stone Pillar used in worship, especially of the Egyptian sun god Amun-Re. Foursided and made from one stone, obelisks tapered to the top, where a pyramid rested. They apparently symbolized the rays of the rising sun and the hope of the pharaoh for rejuvenation and new vitality. At times they were used in tombs to represent hope for resurrection

32. Probably the most famous of all obelisks in the world, is the Washington Monument. It is believed that the spirit of the Egyptian Sun God, Ra, resides within the obelisk, and they pray to it three times daily, if possible, and facing East. The obelisk is the most recognized of all phallic symbols.

40. HEXAGRAM To the ENLIGHTENED Mason, the interlacing triangles of the hexagram depict sexual intercourse.

41. YIN YANG

42. Yin and Yang is one of the most commonly used symbols today, including logos of many organizations and companies. "Yin and yang are considered to be opposites. Yin represents eternity, dark, feminine, left side of the body, etc. Yang is its opposite, and represents history, light, masculine, right side of the body, etc." [Philip G. Zimbardo and Floyd L. Ruch, Psychology and Life , 1977, Ninth Edition, p. 317] Yang is male, positive, and represented by the Sun. Yin is female, negative, and represented by the moon." {Paul E. Desautels, The Gem Kingdom , p. 237.]

43. The symbol itself dates back at least to the fourth century, B.C., and has been identified with the Eastern philosophical religions of Confucianism, Buddhim, and Taoism.

44. Does Freemasonry adopt and use the symbolism of Yin/Yang? Indeed, they do, but in a way as to hide the meaning form the "profane." Listen to Albert Pike. The black and white pavement symbolizes "the Good and Evil, principles of the Egyptian and Persian creed. It is the warfare of Michael and Satan ... light and shadow, which is darkness; Day and Night, Freedom and Despotism ... [Morals and Dogma , p. 14]

45. PENTAGRAM/ BAPHOMET Freemasonry makes use of the Pentagram quite a bit. You can see the similarity between the Eastern Star and and satanic pentagram below. The Eastern Star is a Freemason division for women

46. TRIANGLES ,PYRAMIDS AND THE ALL SEEING EYE To the occultist, the triangle is very important. It is used constantly in every conceivable manner. It is used either with the point up or down. When you see the point down, this represents the Deity and is called the Deity's Triangle or the Water Triangle AlbertChurchward,anotherMasonicauthorstatesthatthetrianglepointingupwardusa symbolforSet,whichisoneoftheInfernalNamesforSatan.[SignsandSymbolsof PrimordialMan,GeorgeAllenandCompany,Ltd.,1913,p.189,309,and471].Then, Masonicauthor,J.S.M.Wardstates,"Withthepointupwards,theequilateraltrianglestands forShivatheDestroyerandsignifiestheflamewhichrisesupwardsfromthefuneralpyre towardHeaven.Thissymbolisfamiliartousinseveraldegrees,mostnotablytheThirtieth degree."[FreemasonryandtheAncientGods,1921,p.10-11;alsoreportedbyMasonic authors

47. The Earthly Triangle or Pyramid Triangle is what it is called when one point is up. It "symbolizes the PERFECT OR DIVINE MAN." This quote is not from some heinous Black-hooded Satanist, it comes from a 33rd Degree Masonic author named George Steinmetz :Freemasonry: Its Hidden Meaning

48. ALL SEEING EYE,EYE OF HORUS, EYE OF SET THIS SYMBOL THROUGHT OCCULTIC HISTORY AND IDOLITROUS RELIGION REPRESENTS MANS ABILITIES TO SEE INTO THE SPIRIT REALM NOT BY THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT BY WITCHCRAFT THROUGH DRUGS OR RITUAL.
