I will not ever get in a discussion with people that cant read. And what is funny is I had a lot of respect for at least one that came against me here. A shame. You read one thing and your minds know all there is to know. You overreacted just admit it. Would you be this way if I said I am a MARINE? None of you on here as far as I know have ever been in the Lodge so you dont know what your are talking about. I try to show what the truth is and I am attacked being asked how I got through screening, alluding that I cheated some how and I resent it. How many on here are alcoholics? You call yourself that all your life because once one always one. I WAS and AM and will ALWAYS be a MASTER MASON! I have not been anyway involved with the Lodge since 1998, I sent a letter of resignation at that time, but I LOST alot of good friends because they could not understand why I have to choose and with this I question that also. But I know someone on here who thinks their Gods gift to the church will contact my AB and say I said I am a Mason leaving out all the rest. You will answer to someone a lot higher. I am very dissapointed with ACTS because of this. I thought this was a place to be safe where I could ask questions and learn from other ministers experiance. But I see there are still knee jerkers on here. SO WHAT if I did say something, you could not contact me off line and ask NO you acuse me in public. Jerk.

That is what you did not say in your opening post and you know it.

I was a lot of things back in the day, I am no longer any of them.

You just did not expect any negative reaction to your comment and when you got it you played the "mad" card.

Re: Masonry is incompatible with Christianty

I can remember

Hey, DOC Posts: 91 **5/12/12 4:54 pm**

When the Church of God would allow a man to be a mason if he had insurance and needed to pay dues to stay insured.

Also a tobacco farmer could be a member because his lively hood depended on his chosen product.

On another note I remember my dad being required by church leadership to tithe on his veggies given to him by members. I used to say, " Dad, send the overseer some potatoes or carrots or onions as your tithe!" He would reply, they only take money at headquarters. Sad but true. I'm so glad to be free of stupid stuff Cool

As was said before what knowledge do you have? I went thru the degrees, there is NOTHING higher than MASTER Mason, ask anyone who was or is in it. There is nothing in Masonry that is anti Christian. You are talking out of ignorance. You mention you can not swear an oath, have you ever enlisted in the military? I have a security clearance I have to swear an oath to keep them secret. I say in it that if I violate a law there is a penalty up to death.The oath you mention is know to be figurative not literal. Do you really think someone will bury someone a cable tows length from shore? Get real! I tell you from being there you tell me from hearsay or other books. You mention our ignorance but I am not ignorant, I chose not to go into the Scotish rite or the York rite because I joined the Navy. I say again there is nothing higher in Masonry than the 3rd degree. That is all that is important, the other offshoots are not Masonry but other groups people join to help people. I was a Christian when I joined, the Pastor that led me to Christ was in the same lodge when I was raised to a Master. Disprove me.

Im not trying to attack what you are saying I just think you should personally talk with someone who is or was in the lodge and has knowledge I sat in several EA and Fellocraft and a Master Mason degree and helped with the works. I remember the oaths and there is nothing I remember that is anti Christian or tells anyone that there is another way to God. You mean well but you are regurgitating other stuff already out there that is incorrect and Pike is not a piller in the Masonic community. In my opinion he is a nut and tried to hijack the Lodge but his writings never had sway with me. In my lodge I used to be in Pickens Star #220 in Jasper Ga. We had prayer in Jesus name in it. When I was in the Navy before I was called to minister, I sat in lodge all over the world, and we never brought up religious matters, no one asked what they believed because it did not matter. We sat there as brothers just being friends. You are asked if you believe in God when you are interviewed to join the blue lodge that is it. An atheist, agnostic, or satinets will not be allowed to enter your given a background investigation, if you are a criminal, a traitor or can not get 3 Master Masons to back you you are voted on and black balled. I sat with Christians, Hindus, Muslims, just to name a few in lodge oversees. Please tell me what is so wrong that a Christian should not be in it, in fact up till the Morgan affair in 1825 it was expected to be a Mason, all the leaders of the young country were. Then all kinds of lies were put out which you and others still spew to this day with 0 truth.
Just trying to dispel some myths. Very Happy

AAAAAAAH the Morgan affair.

Benevolent Masons murder.

Did you know that the widow of Captain William Morgan later married Joseph Smith of Mormon fame?

Just an odd note from history.

I was introduced to the workings of Masonry by Rev Cecil McQuaig, a Church of God pastor from Norcross, GA.

A former Mason.

His book is comprehensive.

So you are saying the mountain of testimony from former Masons is incorrect?

Ankerberg was threatened when he televised his series on the Masonic Lodge.

Yes he did, that is the reason Mormans can not be Masons. I know the due guards and the signs to get in the Mormon temples.

That is exactly what I did, 32 is not the highest 3rd is but 32 is the highest in the Scottish rite. Like I said the oaths are not literal however I made a oath and I let my yes be yes, sounds like he did also.
