The mock resurrection of the Mason (http://jesus-messiah.com/html/masonry.html) in the third degree (Master Mason Degree), comes straight out of the mysteries of Egypt. On the left is an image taken from an ancient tomb in Egypt that shows the Masonry cult existing in Egypt in the cult of Isis. No true Christian would ever join the Masonic lodge. And if they were deceived by the lies of those who initiated them, taught them mouth to ear, then they need to get out and run for their life. If they remain in this cult, they are no friend of God or Jesus. The oaths to join this cult are bloody and filled with a confession of permission of to die if they ever disclose the oath or the workings of their cult. These oaths are said to be identical to those administered in black witchcraft. Once this oath is taken, a person must agree to utter these blood oaths or they cannot join. Taking blood oaths is against the Word of God. Where in the scriptures does it even hint that a person who departs from God should have their throat cut, their tongue torn out, their stomach ripped open and guts pulled out, and their body buried by the sea shore where the tide ebbs and flows? The answer no where! Yet this filthy and obscene oath is required of all who join the cult. Ask a member of this cult to explain his blood oath and he will not do it. He is afraid. He is under fear for his life. He trembles that a group will come to his house and his body will be found missing a hand or a foot and his body mutilated. He will not reveal the slightest part of his blood oath. He will try to get away from you as fast as he can. These are in bondage and must be delivered. They are not saved so long as they remain in this cult. They must come out of it, renounce their blood oaths, and never go back. They cannot be born again and remain in this devil cult.
If you know any person who is in this cult, witness to them that they must come out of it. Many will not do so because all their jobs, business, wealth, and income, is the result of Masonic power and control. To leave the lodge and the cult is to suffer loss of nearly everything. Masons do not like ex-Masons and they will do everything in their power to destroy them. Ministers in Masonic controlled Churches, were the Deacons, Elders, Trustees, and Board of Directors are Masons, will be thrown out of the Church and sent packing. Before the Masons cast them out they will try to destroy the character and reputation of the Minister who opposes them. Many Pastors have been kicked out by Freemason control and the whole event was ugly. Masons can be very ruthless and hateful when their cult is openly attacked in the Church as a cult. I know of Ministers who were forced to remove web sites because of Masonic power. I know of Ministers who because of Masonic power pulled away from me and then later turned and called me a cult, never once calling Masonry a cult! What does that tell you of alleged so-called men of God, Reverends, and so forth?
Masons are not permitted to practice Christianity (http://web.ncf.ca/aj624/mason.html) openly in their lodges or promote the lordship of Jesus. They must give equal weight to all religions in the overall scheme of things. Masonry is not so much a cult (ie something masquerading as Christianity but using a modified Bible) as a pagan religion. What they do practice in the lodge is a series of rather revolting initiation rites for each level that frankly no rational human being should be subjected to - yet they do it.
The Church of England has declared freemasonry heretical. Freemasonry has been exposed by many, and today the Internet offers a platform accessible to all to state such views. This web page repeats a selection of statements made by Christians who have come into contact with masonry, particularly Jack Harris, whose book "Freemasonry: the invisible cult in our midst", (ISBN 088368-231-1) published in 1983, is an excellent source, Harris having risen to be "Worshipful Master" of a masonic lodge, but who finally separated himself from freemasonry when its contradictions with Christianity became too much for him to bear. Selwyn Stephens' booklet "Unmasking Freemasonry" is an excellent resource to explain freemasonry to people considering joining, and to practicing masons (who may well be ignorant of the unsavory elements of freemasonry). "Unmasking Freemasonry" is available from Jubilee Resources (see link below).
Although a list of quotes is hardly a detailed exposé, it is my hope that these statements by Christians, and the additional links below to other anti-freemasonry sites, may assist any who are currently considering freemasonry.
My main motivation is to reach Christians to warn them not to be be influenced by the misguided yet good and true pillars of society who have become masons, and believe masonry to be compatible with their Christian beliefs.
"You shall know them by their fruits" -
The fruits of freemasonry include pride; self righteousness (they tend to believe themselves to be a cut above the rest of us); idolatry (Gaotu is not the God of the Bible) and members are required to bow down together with others who worship other gods; deceit, dishonesty and corruption (initiates are deliberately not told about the more detailed and satanic elements of masonry); false concept of God (Jesus and Lucifer seen as two sides of the same deity); secrecy (they cannot discuss what goes on in the lodge even with their wives); swearing oaths - one phrase at a time, so that they are required to swear before being told the full extent of the oath that they MUST obey; greed/self advancement (the main reason many of them join); false assurance of salvation (all masons are offered immortality); false resurrection (ceremonial "killing" and "resurrection" of candidates).
Are these characteristics that you would want to foster?
Freemasonry is a series of ritually systematic demonization procedures. It is a successor of the ancient mysteries religions: the secret worship rites of Pagan Gods.
Every masonic lodge is a temple of religion and its teachings are instruction in religion.
Freemasonry acknowledges a series of gods to be worshiped:
T.G.A.O.T.U., the Great Architect of the Universe.
JAHBULON: a revelation of the real name of God:
JAH: the God of the Israelites.
BUL: (=Baal) - the god of the Syrians.
ON: Egyptian god OSIRIS of the underworld.
AHURA-MAZDA - spirit of light: a nature god of Zoroastrianism worshipped in Persia (Iran) with fire.
AUM of the Hindus: (Brahma - Vishna - Shiva).
ALLAH: God of Arab, Muslim and Mohammedan.
LUCIFER = the Devil, Satan.
This last is the most worrying, in that it would appear that Satan has indeed been at work in his guise as Light-bearer, marshalling the forces of evil.
In "Freemasonry: the Invisible cult in our midst", Jack Harris describes the origins and beliefs of freemasonry. Here are just a few statements randomly selected from his book:
* The humanistic teachings of freemasonry will be a primary catalyst allowing the Antichrist to come to power during the Tribulation period.
* Freemasonry has penetrated all levels of society including our pulpits and teaching ministries.
* Freemasonry is one of Satan's master deceptions. Freemasonry builds temples in the hearts of men and nations. But any attempt to construct a spiritual temple can only succeed through the power of the Holy Spirit.
*In Galatians 1, 6-10, Paul pronounces a divine curse on all who would preach any other gospel except that which Christ has given him. Two separate spiritual forces are at work in the world. One is of God; the other is of Satan. Which one of these two spiritual forces controls freemasonry?
*Many Christians believe they are worshiping God in the lodge room because of clever manipulations of Bible terminology. Instead they are honoring the god of freemasonry - the God of naturism, not the Bible God as revealed in Christ.
*Masonry most assuredly makes a mockery of God in claiming the Bible as its guide for faith and practice. Masonry's practices, such as bloodcurdling oaths and pagan rituals, are anti-Christian. It is a work-oriented cult and faith has nothing to do with its teachings.
*Freemasonry is Unitarian, not Trinitarian as Christianity is. Christ and the Holy Spirit are not part of worship by Freemasons.
*Masonic funerals require the lodge, rather than any religious group, to take exclusive control of the funeral and the last rites which are the same regardless of whether the deceased is Christian, Jew or Hindu. The officers present wear pagan jewels and aprons, white gloves and a high hat.
The initiation rituals associated with becoming a Freemason are steeped in unsavory tradition with pagan overtones. The rituals are both symbols of initiation and reminders of penalties to those who might reveal them and other aspects of masonry. Freemasonry has been accused of carrying out promises to murder those who would reveal their secrets, and the evidence of those accusations is overwhelming.
Masons' attitudes to sin and crime are colored by whether other masons are involved in the sin or crime. For example, masons believe that they must not commit adultery with the wives of certain members of the lodge hierarchy; others are fair game. They must not steal from masons (but stealing from non masons is OK). From this follows a whole raft of practices of discrimination in the world by masons in high places. Masons you have come into contact with will never divulge such facts even if they know them.

"Masonry (http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/mason1.htm), is in every sense of the word, except one, and that its least philosophical, an eminently religious institution - that it is indebted solely to the religious element which it contains for its origin and for its continued existence and that without this religious element it would scarcely be worthy of cultivation by the wise and good."..."Freemasonry is NOT Christianity not a substitute for it"..."But the religion of Masonry is not sectarian. It admits men of every creed within its hospitable bosom, rejecting institutions; and on this ground mainly, if not alone, should the religious Mason defend it." (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert G. Mackey, Revised Edition, 1921, pages 618, 619)
The Foundation of Religion
"It [Masonry] is the universal, eternal, immutable religion, such as God planted it in the heart of universal humanity. No creed has ever been long-lived that was not built on this foundation. It is the base and they are the superstructure." (page 219)
Temple of Religion
"Every Masonic Temple is a Temple of Religion, and its teachings are instructions in religion." (page 213)
Buddha the First Legislator
"The first Masonic legislator whose memory is preserved to us by history, was Buddha, who, about a thousand years before the Christian era, reformed the religion of Manous." (page 277)
Reverences all Reformers
"It [Masonry] reverences all the great reformers. It sees in Moses, the lawgiver to the Jews, in Confucius and Zoroaster, in Jesus of Nazareth, and in the Arabain 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 characteristics as his creed and truth require." (page 525)
Not Creed-bound
"The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth." (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, 33rd, page 65, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co. Richmond, Va., 1976.)
The Baalim
"Masonry, around whose altars the Christian, the Hebrew, the Moslem, the Brahmin, the followers of Confucius and Zoroaster, can assemble as brethren and unite in prayer to the one God who is above ALL the Baalim, must needs leave it to each of its initiates to look for the foundation of his faith and hope to the written scriptures of his own religion." (page 226)
The word, Baalim, is simply defined as "false god or idol." The Masonic author has included the God of the Christian in that category.
The Source of All Good
"Everything good in nature comes from OSIRIS - order, harmony, and the favorable temperature of the seasons and celestial periods." (page 476)
Osiris was the ancient Egyptian god whose annual death and resurrection personified the self-renewing vitality and fertility of nature. "The All Seeing Eye" is a Masonic representation of Osiris.
Masonry Conceals its Truths
"Masonry, like all the religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, CONCEALS it secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it. Truth is not for those who are unworthy or unable to receive it, or would pervert it." (pages 104-105)
The Blue Lodge to be Deceived!
"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them." (page 819)
Worshipful Master the Source of Light
"Worshipful Master: The Head and Chief of the Lodge, the Source of Light, of Knowledge and instruction in Masonry. He personifies the Sublime Art of Masonry and is the Spokesman thereof." (Arthur Waite, A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, 1970, page xxiv)
Obedience the First Rule
"The first duty of every Mason is to obey the Mandate of the Master...The order must at once be obeyed; its character and its consequences may be matters of subsequent inquiry. The Masonic rule of obedience is like the nautical, imperative: 'Obey orders, even if you break owners'." (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert Mackey, page 525)
The Incomprehensible Bible
"The teachers, even of Christianity, are, in general the most ignorant of the true meaning of that which they teach. There is no book of which so little is known as the Bible. To most who read it, it is as incomprehensible as the Sohar." (page 105)
The Incomplete Bible
"All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and return to it. Everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of the Illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their secrets and their symbols.
"The Kabalah alone consecrates the Alliance of the Universal Reason and the Divine Word...
"The Bible, with all the allegories it contains, expresses, in an incomplete and veiled manner only, the religious science of the Hebrews. The doctrine of Moses and the Prophets, identical at bottom with that of the ancient Egyptians, also had its outward meaning and its veils.
"The Hebrew books were written only to recall to memory the traditions; and they were written in symbols unintelligible to the profane...thus was a second Bible born, unknown to, or rather uncomprehended by, the Christians; a collection, they say, of monstrous absurdities.
"One is filled with admiration, on penetrating into the Sanctuary of the Kabalah, at seeing a doctrine so logical, so simple and at the same time so absolute." (pages 744-745)
The "Kabalah" is a book of ancient Jewish mysticism and magic.
DEITIES OF MASONRY
The Energies of Lucifer
"When the Mason learns that the Key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the Mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of LUCIFER are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply [this] energy." (Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, page 48)
Yes, Lucifer is God
"That which we must say to the crowd is - We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition.
"To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees - The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine.
"If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him?
"Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.
"Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil." (Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, Albert Pike, Grand Commander, Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, July 14, 1889. Recorded by A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, page 588)
The Word of God, the Bible, clearly puts Lucifer in his proper place, and gives God's reasons. "How Art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." (Isaiah 14:12-15)
The Grand Architect of the Universe
Masonic ritual is concerned with the recovery of the "Lost Word," presumed to be the name of God - supposedly lost through the murder of the architect, Hiram Abiff, during the building of Solomon's Temple. This quest is attained during the ritual of the ROYAL ARCH DEGREE. It is here that the SECRET NAME of the DEITY OF MASONRY is revealed. That name is "JAOBULON." "JAO" is the Greek word for Jehovah. "BUL" is a rendering of the name, BAAL. "ON" is the term used in the Babylonian mysteries to call upon the deity "OSIRIS"! The secret ritual book of the Craft prints the letters J.B.O. It states that: "We three do meet and agree - in peace, love and unity - the Sacred Word to keep - and never to divulge the same - until we three, or three such as we - do meet and agree." Thus, no Royal Arch Mason can pronounce the whole sacred name by himself!
What you see represented, then, as the god of Freemasonry, is a three-headed monster so remote from the Christian trinity and so blasphemous as to **** the eternal soul of anyone who would dare to pronounce its name in a ritual of worship!
The God of the Mystic Shrine
The candidates for this ritual kneel at the ALTAR OF OBLIGATION with arms bound, leaning upon the top, heads bowed. There they are required to "assume a most powerful and binding oath, inseparably uniting yourself with us, and once taken, it can never be retracted or departed from."
The oath itself is curse enough, being four pages in length. Its penalty includes "having my eyeballs pierced to the center with a three-edged blade."
The revelation of truth is in the candidates' sealing of the oath, revealing the true nature of the Masonic god of the "Mystic Shrine": ...and may ALLAH, the god of Arab, Moslem and Mohammedan, the GOD OF OUR FATHERS, support me to the entire fulfillment of the same, Amen, Amen, Amen. (The Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, pages 35-39, Allen Publishing Co. NY, NY.)
I Am that I Am
During the ceremonies of the ritual for the Royal Arch degree, the candidate is asked, "Brother Inspector, what are you?" and he replies, "I AM THAT I AM." Can you imagine that? When Moses asked God to name Himself, God said, "I AM THAT I AM" and He said, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." (Exodus 3:14)
Tell me how a Christian can take to himself the Biblical name of the God of Israel? The God of the Christian faith said, "Ye are even my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? Yea, I know not any! They that make a graven image are ALL of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed." (Isaiah 44:8, 9)
The Master Mason - a God in the Making
"Man is a god in the making, and as in the mystic myths of Egypt, on the potter's wheel he is being molded. When his light shines out to lift and preserve all things, he receives the triple crown of godhood and joins that throng of Master Masons who, in their robes of Blue and Gold, are seeking to dispel the darkness of night with the triple light of the Masonic Lodge."
"The glorious privileges of a Master Mason are in keeping with his greater knowledge and wisdom...For Him the Heavens have opened and the Great Light has bathed him in its radiance. The Prodigal Son, so long a wanderer in the regions of darkness, has returned to his Father's house. The voice speaks from the Heavens, its power thrilling the Master until his own being seems filled with its divinity, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.' He [The Master Mason], in truth has become the spokesman of the Most High. He stands between the glowing fire light and the world. Through him passes Hydra, the great snake, and from its mouth there pours to man the light of God." (The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, pages 92, 54-55, Macoy Publishing and Supply Co., Richmond, Va, 1976)
Friend, there is only one for whom the Father uttered those words and it wasn't a Master Mason...nor will it ever be so. Jesus Christ is God's only mediator for you and me. Do not let any MAN ever tell you that he is, or you may become, the spokesman of the Most High! Further, if you think that God speaks through HYDRA, the great snake, your god comes right out of the pit!
Other Teachings and Practices Usurping the Priesthood of Jesus
In the 19th level of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the Initiate receives the degree of GRAND PONTIFF. It is during this ritual that the candidate swears an oath of secrecy and an oath of total obedience "to any Chapter of this degree to which I may belong; and the edicts, laws and mandates of the Grand Consistory of Sublime Princes and Commanders of the Royal Secret, as well as those of the Supreme council of the 33rd degree..."
It is then that the "Thrice Puissant" anoints him with oil on the crown of his head and says "Be Thou a Priest Forever, after the order of Melchizedek."
After receiving the password (Emanuel) and the sacred word (Alleluia), he is dressed in a robe of white linen and given a cordon (a ribbon or sash of honor worn across the breast) of crimson color, with 12 starts representing "the 12 gates of the "new city, " and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the twelve fruits of the tree of life, the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles." (Scottish Rite Masonry Illustrated, The Complete Ritual, Vol. 2, pages 26-27, E. Cook Publications, 1974)
It must be pointed out that what has taken place here, is the Masonic priesthood taking upon itself the Holy Priesthood of Jesus Christ. That is a Priesthood that can be held by only one person and that one person is clearly defined in scripture as Jesus Christ!
Chapters 7 and 8 of the Book of Hebrews clearly explains that it was ANOTHER priest to be raised up, not a group of priests! This Priest would be our HIGH PRIEST and would be able to save from the Uttermost! He would have "endless life"! The holder of THIS Priesthood would be "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens." (7:26) This is Jesus, our Holy Lord and God!
This "ritual" takes Christ's Holy Priesthood from Him, and the Grand Pontiff boldly puts it upon his own breast! Even the use of "Biblical" words fails to cover up the adding in of the "signs of the Zodiac, " a direct alliance with the powers of darkness and a demonstration of disobedience to God's Word. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12, it says that he who "useth divination" (consulting the signs of the Zodiac to tell the future), "or is and observer of times" (which is an ancient description for Augury or Astrology - again dealing with the Zodiac) "is an abomination unto the Lord"!
Again, we see a mirror image of Biblical truth. The Priesthood power of Jesus is given to the deceiver, Lucifer, the true god of Masonry, who hides behind its mystery, ritual and allegory to snare his prey.
Washed in Their Own Blood
In the seventeenth degree, or Knights of the East and West, after the candidates have completed the initiation and after revealing the password (Jubulum) and the Sacred Word (Abaddon), "the Senior Warden conducts the Candidate to the elevated vacant canopy at the right of the All Puissant."
"This is supposed to represent the end of the world when all good masons receive their reward by being conducted to a throne at the right hand of the All Puissant, having been purified by washing their robes in their own blood."
In the lecture which follows between the All Puissant and the Senior Warden, the Book with Seven Seals - which none but one can open (Rev. 5:5) - is twisted to represent "A Lodge or Council of Masons which the All Puissant alone has the right to convene and open."
The Fourth Seal is represented by a skull or "Death's Head" and Masons are told it "is the image of a brother who is excluded from a Lodge or Council." The Fifth Seal is represented by a "Cloth Stained with Blood." The All Puissant identifies this as a symbol "that we should not hesitate to spill ours for the good of masonry." (Scottish Rite Masonry Illustrated, The Complete Ritual, Vol. 1, Pages 453, 457, E. Cook Publishing, 1974)
What a gross misrepresentation of God's Holy Word! First and foremost, It is Christ and He alone who "hath prevailed to open the book and loose the seven seals thereof." To presume that honor and power is to deny Christ, or yet in deeper perversity, to replace his power and authority with that of the All Puissant, even in the representation of the power to save and to enthrone. This is the very spirit of the Antichrist!
Again, another clue to the true identity of the Masonic deity is revealed in the "Sacred Word" of this ritual, "Abaddon." In Revelation 9:11, we learn that "they [the demons and workers from hell] had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is ABADDON!"
Blood Oaths Not of Christ!
Throughout the initiation rituals of the "BLUE LODGES" and through all 33 degrees of Freemasonry, the candidates are sworn to secrecy by bloody oaths. Such as is the oath swore by the Entered Apprentice of first degree, " ...binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea, at low-water mark." The Master Mason swears, "...under no less penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered before the four winds of heaven..." (Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry by Malcolm Duncan, Third Edition, pages 36, 39, D. McKay Publishing Co., N.Y., N.Y.)
Raising the Dead
It is in this final "Blue Lodge" degree that that candidate is laid out "in death"and is raised from the dead by the "Worshipful Master" of the Lodge (representing King Solomon), using the "strong grip" (or "Lion's Paw")of the Master Mason.
Let no Mason deceive you! We again face this replacement of our Savior by the power and authority of Lucifer. Paul said that if anyone should preach any other gospel "than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Gal. 1:8, 9)
The simplicity of the Gospel is this, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I have preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." (1 Cor. 15:1-5)
The infinite power of Jesus was confirmed by Him when He said, "ALL power is given unto ME in heaven and in earth." (Matt. 28:18) This power is His alone! "For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ!" (Romans 5:17)
Jesus was the one who rose from the dead. Jesus is the only one with the power to raise from the dead. Jesus is the only one who frees us from the sting of death!
How can a Mason who calls himself Christian allow himself to partake of a ritual resurrection by the power of Lucifer? This is Satanic! He stands, having been born again and raised from the dead as a Master Mason, through the power of the Masonic god, whom the God of Israel cast into the pit!
Masonic Oaths Above the Law
One the "five points of fellowship," he and his "savior" pass the sacred word, Mah-Hah-Bone.
Also, while in this position, the new Master Mason solemnly vows "3d, Breast to Breast: that you will ever keep in your breast a brother's secrets, when communicated to you and received as such, murder and treason excepted." (Duncan's Rituals, Revised and Complete, pages 35, 96, 120, 121, E. Cook Publications, 1974)
It should further be noted that in the Royal Arch Degree, the candidate swears to protect the "brethren, " "Murder and treason not excepted!" This places the Masonic oath above that of our courts and our country. What hope would you have against a Mason in a Criminal or Civil court with a Judge who is a 32nd or 33rd degree Mason? None, by the nature of their oaths!
Pagan Communion - Eating the Dead
"QUESTION: What is to us the chief symbol of man's ultimate redemption and regeneration?
"ANSWER: The fraternal supper, of bread which nourishes, and of wine which refreshes and exhilarates, symbolically of the time which is to come, when all mankind shall be one great harmonious brotherhood; and teaching us these great lessons: that as matter changes ever, but no single atom is annihilated, it is not rational to suppose that the far nobler soul does not continue to exist beyond the grave: that many thousands who have died might claim to be joint owners with ourselves of the particles that compose our physical bodies; for matter ever forms new combinations; and the bodes of the ancient dead, the patriarchs before and since the flood, the kings and the common people of all ages, resolved into their constituent elements, are carried upon the wind over all continents, and continually enter into and form part of the habitations of new souls, creating new bonds of sympathy and brotherhood between each man that lives and all his race. And thus, in the bread we eat, and in the wind we drink tonight may enter into and form of us part of us the identical particles of matter that once formed parts of the material bodies called Moses, Confucius, Plato, Socrates, or Jesus of Nazareth. In the truest sense, we eat and drink the bodies of the dead; and cannot say that there is a single atom of our blood or body, the ownership of which some other soul might not dispute with us." (page 539)
I Exhort You! Come Out From Among Them
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AND HIS SHED BLOOD AT CALVARY, I EXHORT YOU WHO CLAIM TO BE A MASON AND A CHRISTIAN, "Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (2 Cor. 6:17)
"This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:11-12)
"For there is One God and One Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Tim. 2:5)
"According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay that that is laid, with is Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 3:10-11)
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil. 2:9-11)
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hat light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" (2 Cor.6:14, 15)
One or the Other
Even as Elijah called out "Ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and thou has followed Baal!" I cry out "How long halt you between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him. But if Baal, then follow him!" (1 Kings 18:18, 21)
I am sorry, but there is not other choice for you right now. If you are a Mason who professes to be a Christian either renounce your Christian faith or renounce Masonry. One is from on high and the other is from the pit! You cannot cling to both!
Dare YOU risk laying your good works before the Lord on that last day only to be told, "I never knew you, depart from me!" (Matt. 7:21-23)
Every "Blue Lodge" member who reads this can no longer maintain his defense of ignorance. Today, it stands revealed! Today, you must make your choice! Every Mason, through the highest degree, has had the mask of secrecy ripped away. You are without defense. Choose Jesus or choose Lucifer. Renounce Jesus if you must, but do not stand in the assembly of His saints and mock Him! Your unrepentant presence in the congregation of a Christian body is a grieving of the Holy Spirit.
I pray that you will choose Jesus, repent, and be set free from this wicked power unto whom you have submitted your very soul! If this is your desire, remember that we have this promise, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
Pray this prayer with me right now! "Father in Heaven, in the name of the Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned. I confess that I have allowed myself to fall under the power and authority of Lucifer, the god of Masonry. I confess it as sin, and ask that you forgive me. I reject it and cast it from me and will immediately remove my name from its rolls! Jesus, I call you Lord and Saviour and ask that you come into my heart and fill me with your love and Holy Spirit. Let no unclean thing remain! I am yours and yours alone! I am set free! In Jesus' name, Amen!"
Write to me, dear friend and let me know of your decision for Jesus Christ! Your Brother in the Lord, J. Edward Decker Jr.
"And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, But will ye weary my God also?" ISAIAH 7:13

Ex Masons for Jesus (http://www.emfj.org/)
Shriners (http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/secretsocietyindex.htm)
The Shriners: Allahs Islamic Cult Inside the Masonic Lodge: To most Americans, the Shriners are a wonderful organization. They see men wearing the strange "fez" hat and gleefully riding tiny motor scooters in parades. They see Shriners at circuses dressed as clowns, delighting youngsters. They hear of the boisterous Shriners conventions and are told of the charitable acts of this group—its burns hospitals and so forth. But there is a darker side to the Shriners, and Texe Marrs uncovers it in this revealing investigative expose. You'll learn that the Shriners are Knights Templar, 13th degree York Rite Masons or 32nd degree Scottish Rite Masons. You'll discover the hideous blood oath to a pagan deity taken by these men in a bizarre and occultic initiation rite. You'll discover also the meaning of The Shrine and the significance of the "fez" cap. You'll find out why the elements in the logo, or symbol, of the Shriners include an Arabic curved sword, upside down horns, a pentacle star, and an image of the ancient goddess of Egypt. This audiotape will enlighten you about what goes on behind the closed doors of the Shrine Temples. It will equip you with the knowledge and information you need to unmask this devilish organization and help men who are entrapped in its devilish clutches escape.
In order for a person to become a Shriner, he must not only go through all the degrees of Masonry, make all those blood-curdling oaths, worship gods who are not gods except they are of Satan, but he must make a blood both of allegiance to Allah as his god and Mohammed as his prophet. The Shriner is then given a red fez with an Islamic sword and crescent jeweled on the front of it. This originates from 7th century Arabia when the Moslems, under the leadership of Mohammed, slaughtered all Christians who would not bow down to Allah. Allah, by the way, was not another (generic) name given to God by Mohammed; Allah is the tribal deity --the moon god-- of Mohammed; it was the name of the god in the tribe that Mohammed was born into. That is why every mosque today has a crescent moon on the top of its spire.
Now when Mohammed's army of men, out to slaughter all the 'infidels', came to the city of Fez, in Morocco, they found a community of Christians. After killing all the Christians there with their Islamic-style swords, they took their hats (called a fez) and dipped them in the blood of the Christians, and wore the fezzes throughout the land glorying in their victory over Christianity. Today Shriner's put on red fezzes (representing the hats dipped in the blood of Christians) with the Islamic sword and crescent showing their allegiance to Allah and Mohammed (and the defeat of Christianity). Men in Obscene Red Fezzes!
In one of the Royal Institute of International Affairs top secret papers, the scenario is laid out as follows (in part): "...having been failed by Christianity, and with unemployment on every hand, those who have been without jobs for five years or more will turn away from the church and seek solace in drugs. That is when full control of the drug trade must be completed in order that the governments of all countries who are under our jurisdiction will have a MONOPOLY which we will control through supply.... Drug bars will take care of the unruly and the discontent, would be revolutionaries will be turned into harmless addicts with no will of their own...." There is ample evidence that the CIA and British intelligence, specially M16, have already spent at least a decade working toward this goal. (John Coleman's Committee of 300)
" Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity -- an outer organization concealing an inner brotherhood of the elect ... it is necessary to establish the existence of these two separate and yet interdependent orders, the one visible and the other invisible. The visible society is a splendid camaraderie of 'free and accepted' men enjoined to devote themselves to ethical, educational, fraternal, patriotic, and humanitarian concerns. The invisible society is a secret and most August [defined as 'of majestic dignity, grandeur'] fraternity whose members are dedicated to the service of a mysterious arcannum arcandrum [defined as 'a secret, a mystery']." [Hall, Lectures on Ancient Philosophy, p. 433]
"When a Mason learns the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy." [The Lost Keys To Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall, published by the Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, Inc., Richmond, Virginia, 1976, p. 48; Emphasis added]
Ever wonder why the Freemasonry meetings and gatherings are in Total Secrecy? Did you know that their rituals dishonor the person and work of Jesus Christ and give glory to the Prince of Darkness. The Masonic lodge is Satan's darkroom for developing negatives in the hearts and minds of the lost and unenlightened. As a former Worshipful Master of a Masonic Lodge I am compelled to share and tell the absolute truth as my God would have me do. (Jack Harris)
"...there is a power so organized, so subtle, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." --- President Woodrow Wilson United States Presidents and the Masonic Power Structure
When we consider that modern "illuminized" Masonry is merely an extension of ancient "Baal" worship and religion, even down to the worship of the phallic obelisks such as those in ancient Babylon, Egypt, Rome and elsewhere - which represented Baal or Nimrod, the King of BABYLON and builder of the tower of Babel - then considering this is it to much to suggest that this modern covert space program might be in part a last days "Tower of Babel" to the stars? Believe it or not, the Masonic-Illuminati influence had infiltrated the capital city to such a degree in the early beginnings of the American Republic, that they not only placed the pentagram into the Washington D.C. street layout, but the Masonic square-and- compass, and the symbol of the horned goat as well! According to some, there's an occult history behind the building of the so- called 'Washington Monument' as well. Is it any coincidence that the 'monument' is shaped exactly like the sun-god-phallic obelisks of Rome, Egypt and Babylon?
The Shriner's blood oath (http://www.saintsalive.com/freemasonry/fmsatansdoor.html) and confession of Allah as God is documented in the secret Lodge document, THE MYSTIC SHRINE, AN ILLUSTRATED RITUAL OF THE ANCIENT ARABIC ORDER NOBLES OF THE SHRINE, 1975 Edition, (pages 20-22). Remember that Allah is not just another name for God. Allah is the name of another god. In usual occult fashion, the initiate swears that he will be inseparably obligated to this "most powerful and binding oath", in advance, and that he may NEVER retract or depart from it.
During the butchering of the people of Fez, the streets literally ran red with the blood of the martyred Christians. The Muslim murderers dipped their caps in the blood of their victims as a testimony to Allah. These blood stained caps eventually were called Fezzes and became a badge of honor for those who killed a Christian. The Shriners wear that same red Fez today. The greatest tragedy is that the Fez is often worn by men who profess to be Christians themselves. It must cause God to weep.
A curious piece of the Masonic puzzle is the actual street layout for our Capital city, Washington, D.C.. You see, the city was laid out in the form of the central Masonic Symbols, the Square, the Compass, the Rule and the Pentagram.
Take any good street map of downtown Washington, D.C. and find the Capitol Building. Facing the Capitol from the Mall and using the Capitol building as the head or top of the Compass, the left leg is represented by Pennsylvania Ave. and the right leg, Maryland Ave. The Square is found in the usual Masonic position with the intersection of Canal St. and Louisiana Ave. The left leg of the Compass stands on the White House and the right leg stands on the Jefferson Memorial. The circle drive and short streets behind the building form the head and ears of what Satanists call the Goat Of Mendes or Goat's head!
Sitting on top of the White House is an inverted 5 pointed star, or Pentagram. It faces North, with the point down in true occult fashion. It sits within the intersections of Connecticut and Vermont Avenues north to Dupont and Logan Circles, with Rhode Island and Massachusetts going to Washington Circle to the West and Mt. Vernon Square on the East.
The Pentagram or five-pointed star is, of course, both a Masonic symbol and the ancient symbol of witchcraft. With its point facing down (or south, when placed on the ground) it is especially associated with Satanism. Satanists can be found wearing the inverted pentagram frequently; and it appears on the cover of many black magic books, including THE SATANIC BIBLE. In this form, it is also the emblem of the Eastern Star, the women's Masonic organization.
The center of the pentagram is 16th St. where, thirteen blocks due north of the very center of the White House, the Masonic House of The Temple sits at the top of this occult iceberg.
The Washington Monument stands in perfect line to the intersecting point of the form of the Masonic square, stretching from the House of the Temple to the Capitol building. Within the hypotenuse of that right triangle sits many of the headquarters buildings for the most powerful departments of government, such as the Justice Dept., U.S. Senate and the Internal Revenue Service.
It would be great to know that your national Capital is bathed in continual prayer and to believe that its buildings and monuments have been dedicated in prayer, but do you realize that every key Federal building from the White House to the Capitol Building has had a cornerstone laid in a Masonic ritual and had specific Masonic paraphernalia placed in each one. Again, wonderful if we are talking about our one true God in all this, but such is not the case.
The cornerstones of all these buildings have been laid in Masonic ritual, dedicated to the demonic god of Masonry, JaoBulOn. That is the secret name of the Masonic god, the "Lost Word" learned in the ritual of the Royal Arch degree. "JAO" is the Greek for Jehovah, "BUL" is a rendering of the name, BAAL, and "ON" is the Babylonian name of OSIRIS.
Freemasonry boasts 16 Presidents, including Ronald Reagan, 41 Federal Judges, 60 Congressmen, 14 members of the Judiciary Committee and 18 Senators. One can only guess at the numbers involved within the many governmental departments. There is no doubt that Masonic conspirators plotted against this nation from its very inception to the present hour. We praise God that there have been that many real Christians praying for this country and its leaders to keep a righteous God from bringing deserved judgment against this nation.
Is there any wonder that the battle seems so difficult? How have such evils like greed and conspiracy within our national leadership been able to rock our nation? How has the Federal Judicial system become such a power cult that it is able to violate our human rights with total freedom? How have such Biblically opposed acts as abortion and homosexuality become acceptable and even welcomed practices? When did this people give up the right of freedom OF (and not from) Religion? When did we say it was OK for the open practice of Witchcraft and Satanism in our government and schools while Christianity is prohibited? When did humanism and the New Age philosophies replace Christianity as the Rock upon which this nation was built?
Well, it began when we allowed the soothsayers and worshippers of JaoBulOn to lay out our National Capital as a giant Satanic Talisman, an open door to the demonic world of darkness. It is time now for us to take back what Satan would take away.
Christian brothers and sisters, We have the authority and power of the believer. We have the Biblical promise and example of the power of prayer, the miracle of intercession! We have the need and the right to go to our knees in private and in our congregations to break the power and influence of these demonic things in our Nation, Church and families. Let's do battle in spiritual places (Eph 6). Let's close that no longer secret door of the enemy in our national capital!
To those readers who would make light of this urgent message, the Scriptures speak directly to this national sin. " Be Ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" (2Cor 6:14,15) Verse 17 says, "Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
