FREEMASONRY

CREED INITIATION AND RITUAL

How can you tell when a fellowship group, organization, or a small circle of people who perform ritualistic activities is a cult? That is the first question, and more than answering that question, I will elaborate on the answer describing in detail how symbolism/symbols, doctrine, and ritual are always the signs of a cult, which always mimics the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. Men have done that for years, regardless of their nativity, origin, race, or belief system. For too long the devil's advocates have been founders of cults and religions for ages, and even today, are still organizing formal belief systems and major organizations, such as the Church of Scientology (founder: L. Ron Hubbard), Mormonism (Joseph C. Price), and many others that I won't go into detail about here. http://hubpages.com/hub/Exposing-The-Catholics Likewise, the Masons have their own creed, formal initiation process, and their own rituals. Another sign of a cult is a person or an entity that accepts all religions as brethren, but the bible makes a distinction between believers and unbelievers, and yes, we as Christians do love the unbelievers, but we are no one in agreement with unbelievers. We can't fellowship in the spirit with unbelievers. They are not saved but we are saved. The Masons accept all religions as a true unity, which is not consistent with the true teachings of Christ. The next section will give the details about some of the symbols and practices of the Masons, and their doctrine of salvation. All cults have some kind of doctrine that always promises its followers of a new life in another world. As mentioned earlier, all cults mimic something that can be read about in the Holy Bible. That is the sign that Satan is still, even today, trying to steal the glory from God, and he's at work in the children of disobedience.

Free Masons, Illuminati and the New World Order

All cults, false beliefs and other ones not based on the truth of the bible, and all organizations that promote everything else from new age spirituality to homosexual and atheist movements, are all tied in to new world order. New world order is the concept of man as the ruler and sustainer of hope, as opposed to God being the ruler and the sustainer of hope. Anything that is meant to control the mind, indoctrinate away from the truth, or run people's lives, are considered a type of new world order, although this doesn't apply to its meaning in the general sense of "New World Order," but is nevertheless, of the world, and its teachings.  For more information on the Illuminati and New World Order, click here.

Masonry and it's secret ties to the Occult

I want to personally encourage anyone who's reading to not have any fellowship whatsoever, with the unfruitful works of any cult, including the Masons. All of the teachings of freemasonry add up to - salvation by works, in contrast, the bible teachings that salvation is that free gift from God through your faith, which is Jesus Christ. And I quote, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me ." John 14:6 To live any other way, or to believe in any other system of grace or deity is equivalent to that of a thief or robber, and no thief, robber, nor fornicator will inherit the kingdom of God.

SYMBOLISM / SYMBOLS

The 'Rough Ashlar' and The 'Perfect Ashlar' according to masonic teaching, are the immovable jewels, and the Square, Level and Plumb Rule are the movable jewels. The Rough Ashlar symbolizes mankind in his untutored state, and the Perfect Ashlar symbolizes the "refined" educated man with an enlightened mind.

ALLEGORY

They teach this allegory: "The Perfect Ashlar, is perfected only because it is completely adapted to the purpose for which it was made, namely; to exactly fit into its place in the building, and act as a binder for other stones." According to the bible, God is the potter, and his chosen ones are the clay. The that symbol described in the bible teaches that God performs in us what he wills, and we are to follow accordingly. What freemasonry does is it puts man in the place of God to do the forming and shaping, and that is the design of all cults that mimic the Bible's teachings, they form their own doctrine and system of belief.

VIRTUOUS EDUCATION OF THE MASONS

Allegory and symbolism is the trademark of masonic teaching. The will tell you that most of their symbols may have different interpretations, and that they don't contradict but amplify each other. To make it clear, ten people may read ten different meanings into a square and yet each meaning fits with, and belongs to, the other meanings, and they're all right. "When all men know all the meanings, the need for Freemasonry will have passed away.” There is a sequel to this hub entitled, "Masons/FreeMasonry-The Flinstones In Bedrock (part 2)."
