Immortality is it true?

I took a couple of wrong turns on the internet, due to unfortunate circumstances (bored, waiting) I started reading about Jack Parsons and ended over at OTO and the most messed up pile of plagiarism snippets that ever called itself documentary.
Anyhoo in it some guy said all freemasons are promised immortality, that you'll meet up after dead in the eternal lodge.
Is that true?

That's entirely up to you.

No it is not!

My understanding is Freemasonry subscribes to no particular orthodoxy.

However, they do believe in the existence of a supreme being/creator force and that we possess an immortal soul.

Immortality after death??? What??. you took the wrong turn and ended in contradiction land...

yes. we call the meeting place "Heaven". Perhaps you have heard of it?

Thats literally what every religion out there believes pretty much, you die and live on

The only thing I can be sure about in this physical reality it that it is the consequences of our action that live on after our body is dead. The world we have today is the result of many ancestors to help grow it to this point. In this perspective I can see a good point for some kind of immortality.

As for all that spirit stuff, I guess we will find out one day what all that is about, if anything? Lot of compelling stories around that there is something to it, as for what exactly and how it works with a diversity of reports?

I'm not going to give you the answer yet, straight out of the ritual, I'll wait until there's plenty of funny answers from non-Masons.

This is not new here.
Salvation is through The Lord Jesus Christ only.
But what else would have you expected me to say?

Funny is in the mind of the beholder, or maybe, one's left or right hand :^D

What about the rest of the people of the world who choose to place their faith in some form of organized religious practice bar Christianity.

How come they are all wrong salvation-wise and only Christianity correct?

Then there are the countless billions of people who existed long before Christianity ever was a twinkle in anybody's eye, what happened to their immortal souls since they could not have found Jesus?

I'm aware of that, it was the guarantee included in the membership I was wondering about. Aside from the fact that I never considered freemasonry as religion, more like... ritual-phile gentlemen's club.

`some guy said all freemasons are promised immortality, that you'll meet up after dead in the eternal lodge.

Umm, I think we have a slight problem here in logic.

If you die, that isn't immortality is it now.

Im-dead-ality?




I'mmortality?

I have never heard it as a guarantee. Where did this come from?

Or your pair of tweezers.

It was YouTube started with the satanic scare and went through Crowley to masons, it was all stolen from other documentaries in a way that I couldn't read the name of the guy giving the talk.
And I'm not going to link it because it was... disturbing.
But it stood out to me because Tolstoy in War and Peace has this description of an initiation ritual I believe could be quite accurate and from what I gather not to be afraid of death but keeping it in mind would have kind of worked with that.
Your Lodge is probably not on the 'hermetic' end of things?

a reply to: Peeple

In every religion or belief system our bodies are mortal,
in all, except aheism, the vessel dies, but we live on.
Where? depends on your belief system,
no none knows that for sure. Not even Masons.

Isn't it funny of all the people in this thread it's only you two 'experts' who have difficulties with that?
I think it totally is.

Immortality of the body = no physical death
Immortality of the spirit = no spiritual death
