What's up with Christianity and Freemasonry?

by TAYOR FOERSTER
(NEW SALEM, ND)

I'm doing a school project and I found out that the Christian Religion doesn't exactly stand eye-to-eye on the subject of pretty much anything. Why do they think you're satanic and that kind of stuff?

conservative objections to freemasonry
by: Anonymous

As far as I'm aware, some conservative groups are very wary of our taking oaths. They see that act as a conflict of interest with the Christian life, in which our allegiance ought to be for Christ, and not a group of guys. (One cannot serve God and Mammon. One cannot have two masters, etc.)

They also look at some of our symbols and see connections to the Occult. some of that is true, however, they don't stop to consider that some Occult thought contains as much truth as Christian theology, and that truth is truth, regardless of how it is dispensed.

Further, some see freemasonry as a religion, and that we worship "the Great Architect" rather than God. In addition to that, their misunderstanding that we are a secret society is at odds with Christians always being above-board.

Many men of the Christian faith are also Freemasons
by: John

There is nothing in the Christian Religion regarding Freemasonry. In fact, there are many men of the Christian faith, even ordained Ministers, who are also Freemasons. The conflict between Religion and Freemasonry, like the conspiracy theories that abound, is largely exaggerated. It's not the religion or the faith that has a problem with Freemasonry, but there are those who have a problem with Freemasonry, or don't understand it, who are of the Christian faith. It's a small but important distinction.

The problem stems from the "Because I said so." syndrome. Way back in olden times there was a problem between Pope Clement V, and the Knights Templar. The Pope declared the Knights to be bad guys and wrote a Papal Bull saying no Catholic could be one. Over time the history of the Knights Templar and the Freemasons became intertwined until a lot of people, even some Freemasons, believed they were the same. The law declared by the Papal Bull came to include Freemasons and Catholics were taught that Freemasons were bad guys. Some devout religious followers believe what they are taught and don't ask questions. Those who do ask questions often times go on to become Freemasons, but they remain devout followers of their religious faith.

A warm hello to masons
by: Christian Bell

May I first state that my fathers parents were or are masons, i'm glad that at least one of you has been honest enough to talk about relations with the occult. I must admit I was once ignorant of the extent to which Freemasonry was of little danger to society. I majored in theology but even knowledge is little use without application. My point is this, that the Spirit of God has inspired the bible, and that the vows taken in FM are contrary to what the bible teaches. We are to have one master (Matthew 23:10), who is Christ. Furthermore, pluralism is the belief that all gods lead to heaven, this negates the very thing that FM itself acknowledges, that metaphysical (spiritual truth) or religious beliefs are equal, which is to inherently make opposing religious ideas untrue, which is a lie. The truth is that their is a war going on, a spiritual one, and whether or not you care to acknowledge it it is also going to conclude the way the bible tells it, because the prophecies in Issiah concerning Christ 500 or so years before he came, have been testified in the New Testament. The Spirit of God is greater than the spirits of the sky.

May God grant you peace.
