This a continuation of my previous post as I was concerned of being 'timed out'.
5) FM teaches that salvation may be attained by 'good works' and not through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
6) FM advocates in many of its writings the non-biblical teachings of universalism.
7) In some of the lodges FM discriminate against non-whites
(SBC Summary on FM)
BrkBrln, and anyone else who has bought into the lie that the Fez-dipping, oath taking (blood rites) FM's are an organization that is not in direct contrast to walk of a follower of Jesus Christ ... may God Himself open up your eyes. :pray
My heart shudders for any person who is a part of this group. Come out of her before you share in the Wrath of God! Jesus Christ is the only way to God. He is the only Name under Heaven and Earth by which we must be saved. God will not deal lightly with those who bow the knee to anyone other than Him!
Waiting 2 go, I will be in prayer for your family. We have prayed earnestly for those we know of who are in FM. What is heartbreaking is that many pastors, deacons and 'well respected' members of society are FM's and this fact in itself affords them a 'legitimacy'. God is able as there is no pit too deep that He is not able to lift one up out of!
Another reason this organization has flown 'under the radar', so to speak, is because of their seemingly altrusitic efforts in the community: The Shriners being a big one. When told the reason behind the color of the fez hats reject it outright or respond "oh, but they're such a good organization" OR "They've done so much for suffering children" OR "My grandfather, uncle and father were part of it so..." However, historical facts are just that. Centuries ago, bloody thirsty and violent men rode through a town slaughtering all the Christians and on their way out dipped the top of these hats in the blood that was flowing through the streets. Research it for yourself and see. These were evil men and they wore these hats as a 'medal of honor'....sounds anything but good.
A visit to www.ericbarger.com, of Take A Stand Ministries, would be helpful as it has a wealth of information on this subject. In fact, a few good ones to purchase are:
* Freemasonry vs. Christianity: The Bible the Lodge and You! DVD
* The Cult of Freemasonry VHS
There is a small booklet that we no longer have as we gave it to someone who has family in the FM, but it has pictures of the 'god' they refer to as the worshipful master and it looks suspiciously resembles a goat.
Lastly, the FM wear some type of sheep undergarment over their loins to ensure their protection from some evil or other and the other group that does this is the Mormons...interesting little factoid. :candle
God bless you,
Shalom in Christ
